Notability through AfC

Although a murder generally isn't encyclopedic unless it has WP:LASTING, this one has quite a few references in Newspapers.com which shows it was widely covered. It was also covered in book publications which shows me that it is lasting. --CNMall41 (talk) 19:35, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In 2018, a new story about this 1906 murder appeared, putting both "Trunk Murderess" and "black widow killer" into the same headline! So lasting is definitely applicable. There is even a museum display of the trunk. However, I think that what makes this article even more notable is that LeDoux was the first woman to be sentenced to death in California, for the murder. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 04:09, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism?

I tidied-up a few sentences, but the article as a whole seems very strangely written, and I guess it's suffered from vandalism. Valetude (talk) 20:04, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The article was a copyright violation. It was rewritten on 29 June 2021. - 203.96.84.33 (talk) 00:23, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lead section

This article is currently missing a LEAD section that summarises the article and the subject's reason for being notable, which I presume is being "... the first woman to receive a death sentence in the State of California." - 203.96.84.33 (talk) 00:36, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
