Death of Betty Van Patter; the subject has received passing mention in multiple non-primary |reliable sources, I have to agree with the proposer of this AfD that the subject of this AfD has not received |significant coverage. That being said, the mystery surrounding her death has received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources, such as http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=OKTB&p_theme=oktb&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=116ADFBB134303D8&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM this article from the ''Oakland Tribune'', and http://books.google.com/books?id=BJT_n7Xl6JwC&dq=%22Betty+Van+Patter%22+murder&q=Van+Patter#v=snippet&q=Van%20Patter&f=false this book from Da Capo Press. As these |in-depth coverage of the event occurred years after the subject of this AfD died, I would say her death has received |continued coverage, and thus the event which is her death is notable. Therefore, the subject of this AfD falls under , and the subject should be changed to her death and the investigation, and open (cold) case that is its present status
