# Talk:Murder of Patricia Jeschke


### Murder of Patricia Jeschke
I've listed this article for peer review because I believe that this article can become a FA, but I do not have enough experience in the realm of crime and law articles to properly determine if it is missing something. 
Please inform me if this article is missing anything important from it. Comments regarding its writing style and prose are also requested.

Why is there a source in the infobox when it's sourced within the body? This should be removed unless there's another explanation for it.
" It was theorized that Jeschke's murder was connected to the murder of Roger Atkison and Rose Burkert, but police in Iowa found no connection.", the site of the murder was in Missouri then it mentions Iowa. Could this be reworded to make it flow better? "was connected to the murders of Roger Atkinson and Rose Bukert in Iowa?, but police in the state..."
"During her guilty plea Hemme stated", "During her guilty plea, Hemme stated"
"The hair in Jeschke's bed sheets, which was from a black man, was alleged to be from Vernon Burris, the only black officer who came to the crime scene, but the FBI reported that it did not match Burris' hair.[54] This information is relevant as Holman was also black", shouldn't mentions of "black" be "Black" as we're talking about people who are African-American?
A thought on sourcing
The overwhelming majority of citations here are to local news. There's absolutely no taboo against using such sources judiciously in FAs, and indeed it's likely that some details will be most easily or perhaps only found in the up-to-the-minute reports that accompanied the case. However, it's also likely that breaking news stories will be incomplete, include information which seems to be true or relevant at the time but may not hold up, convey rumours, or otherwise have deficiencies. Are there any more scholarly retrospective works that could be brought in to support them? Even if the same information is found there, it allows us to use the benefit of hindsight and peer review to endorse that it's reliable.
There are one or two claims where the use of local news seems inappropriate -- see Hemme's wrongful conviction produced the longest ever prison tenure for an exonerated American woman, in particular.
Good luck with the article. UndercoverClassicist T·C 19:51, 7 August 2025 (UTC)
