Talk:Jerry Brudos

message: Repeated attempts to give the name Darcie to Jerome's wife is based on the name Ann Rule used in her true crime novel.   It is not factual and there is nothing credible or authoritative about the name or even other unsubstantiated information in that lurid true crime novel.  She was arrested and charged in the crimes, her name is in newspaper articles of the time including The Capital Journal (Salem, Oregon) (I can provide date and page number on request).   Her marriage to Jerome Brudos is also listed in the authoritative Oregon Marriage Index which includes her maiden name and date of marriage (9-23-1961).  I can respect that her name not be included, despite the notoriety of her being charged in the crime, but the repeated attempts to insert a fake name into this article shows how one fake source (Ann Rule) propagates and gets repeated on multiple websites.    — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dddwwwps (talk • contribs) 01:35, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: Name of Spouse Error

message: It says that Jerry Brudos killed five women, but only four victims are listed.  Also, the article linked to him on the Recent Deaths page only lists four victims.  If he's only killed four people, then it should say so and be corrected.  If he allegedly killed five women, the fifth victim should be listed and an article that verifies that fact should be included.  SailorAlphaCentauri 19:42, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: As is the case with a lot of these types of people, Brudos was supposedly treated very badly by his mother. However I am unable to find anything which corroborates his version of the story. Everyone parrots the same information - that she wanted a daughter and abused Jerry - but no one actually provides any evidence for the claim. How do we know that Brudos was telling the truth? The reason I ask is that it is stated as a fact in the article, when in reality it is nothing more than an unsubstantiated allegation that shifts some of the blame away from Jerry and onto his mother. That's exactly the sort of thing that psychopaths love to do! So my question is ... should the statements about his abusive childhood include the word allegedly, or would that constitute original research? I think it's uncool to disparage a dead woman who is unable to defend herself, especially when there is no corroboration of the claims against her. Just a thought...

thread_title:  Alleged mistreatment as a child 

message: This article describes in gruesome detail how each victim, identified by name, was killed and abused. Not only is this un-encyclopedic, but is disrespectful to the victims and their right to privacy. ScottMainwaring (talk) 15:54, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
