Update[edit]

This is in desperate need of an update!

Brian L. Rooney[edit]

I have just created an article on the prime suspect in Gardner-Quinn's murder. Please feel free to expand and/or provide a picture of the suspect. Thanks, --D.F. "Jun Kazama Master" Williams 13:18, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Terminology[edit]

At a press meeting, Rooney's lawyer accidentally revealed confidential information about DNA evidence, which resulted in the trial going under lock-and-key.

Under lock-and-key typically refers to a physically secured environment. I have never heard it used to describe a legal proceeding. Clarification, please, or perhaps a more commonly encountered term? --Mfwills (talk) 13:54, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge of Brian L. Rooney into Murder of Michelle Gardner-Quinn[edit]

Other than the criminal history, he does not appear to be independently notable. Suggest merger to that of the Murder Star Mississippi 20:16, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 11:39, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't love how long this section is, to be honest. I'm Michelle's friend and I love her. I'll be updating her page this month. I'm going to add more details about Michelle's life and accomplishments. I'll be correcting the location where she was discovered by hikers nearly 17 years ago. I may suggest edits shortening this section about her killer. Katiejill127 (talk) 11:54, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
