More work needed

[edit]

I've made a start on building up this stub, drawing mainly from some Sydney Morning Herald articles to which I have access but which aren't easily available without a subscription.

There is a lot more to the Bailey manhunt, conviction and execution, which was quite controversial at the time and isn't discussed here. Will try to come back to it later.

I'd footnote my sources if I could, but doing so is a labour-intensive nightmare that I've never mastered.

Relevant articles

[edit]

I have found articles which shed further light on this murder.[1] It appears that Bailey owned the black DeSoto[2] and caravan as you correctly state. The victims owned a Vanguard which was found at the scene I believe. No mention in the newspaper articles of the trailor. A Ford Zephyr is mentioned in article [4]. I am trying to get a clearer picture of the vehicles involved. I suspect that the Vanguard was towing the trailor with the 3 victims. The Zephyr is a mystery at this stage.

Infobox

[edit]

Why does the infobox give information on the perpetrator instead of the murders? This is not a bio article. Dimadick (talk) 09:47, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It could be moved down to the section about him or perhaps it could be adapted into an event infobox.--GouramiWatcherTalk 18:49, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
