Talk:Lil' Miss murder

Untitled

I've been facinated by this crime for years, and like anyone I wanted that car to be found and the man responsible put away. It was just despicable what this man had done. Carajou 07:16, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

• Wyoming State Highway Patrolman Al Lesco, who stopped Lisa for speeding that night, was investigated and cleared as a potential suspect. He even produced a taped recording of their conversation inside his patrol car. This was the only confirmed sighting of her that night. The playing of the tape in the courtroom caused a collective gasp and tears from her family and friends as they heard her voice for the first time in 15 years. Another suspect committed suicide while under investigation, but eventually, DNA evidence cleared him as well.
• According to testimony given by one of Eaton's federal prison cellmates, Eaton confessed and described Lisa's murder to him. In his testimony, the cellmate described how Eaton had recounted to him that around an hour after the last confirmed sighting of Lisa on the day she disappeared, Eaton was at a rest stop about 22 miles from his home when Lisa pulled in to use the facilities. He pulled a gun on her and forced her back to his home, where he tied her up and assaulted her for six days. Once he decided to kill her, he drove her to the Old Government Bridge on the North Platte River, where he bludgeoned and stabbed her, before throwing her body over the railing and into the river.
• It was discovered that Eaton had mounted the Honda CR-X's sport leather seats and high class Sony stereo system into his Ford pickup truck. He had also sold its 17 inch aluminum rims to an unknown individual. The black Honda was heavily damaged in its front section, most likely during the abduction.

Evidence

Moved from article to talk. This doesn't seem significant to me: RJFJR (talk) 20:00, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

The only other piece of evidence, assumed at the time to be from the killer, was a short letter left on her grave on October 13, 1988:

• Lisa -
  There are'nt (sic) words to say how much you're missed
  the pain never leaves
  it's so hard without you
  you'll always be alive in me.
  Your death is my painful loss but Heaven's sweet gain.
  Love always, Stringfellow Hawke

Signing-off as "Stringfellow Hawke" was a reference to actor Jan-Michael Vincent's character in the television program Airwolf, the meaning of which is still unknown, but showed the author's need to conceal his identity, whereas a loved one or friend would not feel a need to do so.

I had a look through it, there's far more there than I would wish to devote time to reading. But it was enough to further cement my loathing for the murderer, and for the lawyers who drag this shit relentlessly through the courts to forestall executions. I happen to largely be against execution by the state, simply because far too many men on death row, and executed, have later been found to be innocent of the crime due to DNA evidence or prosecutorial misconduct. But this guy is a shitstain on humanity. He took an innocent life. He knew that what he did was wrong. And now he's burning taxpayer dollars playing the system to try to 'get out of it'. He needs to pay the price - the evidence is utterly overwhelming. I could support addition of the material referenced at least in terms of highlighting the bullshit that evil people will continue to do to avoid responsibility.

Serial Killer?

This talks about on case, and says that he showed signs of being a serial killer. Should this be included under List of Serial Killers in the United States? Also, why is the picture of the victim the first picture on the right side column? I have always seen the topic of the article pictured first. This is not an edit, just my thoughts. Maybe I should have written this elsewhere? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.30.80.82 (talk) 19:14, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Absent direct evidence a la a conviction for other murders, he doesn't really qualify as a serial killer. As far as the photo, it seems that out of respect for the victim - who the article is titled after from the popular naming of the case - her photo should be at the top. If Eaton were the specifically named title of the article, he would likely be the first photo - but we don't typically confer that sort of respect on murderers.Anastrophe (talk) 20:28, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
