Talk:Edgar Ray Killen

message: Some right wing racist nut job is putting "allegedly" in the header and adding references to some book he has written that "proves innocence".  Hopefully there will be no controversy in me deleting it. Aredbeardeddwarf (talk) 23:52, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

message: I see that a picture of Killen used to be here: a mug shot from the 60's.  It was deleted because of improper licensing notations or something like that.  Anyhow, I went looking for a picture and couldn't find that mug shot in a way we could certainly use it (except by fair use), and I also found his picture on the MS Corrections page, but they have a draconian copyright notice.  Perhaps it would be useful to contact MS Corrections media relations to ask about photos of inmates, or perhaps someone knows the rule. -- ke4roh 22:31, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

message: :Assisting Mitchell were high school teacher Barry Bradford and a team of three students from Illinois. The students persuaded Killen to do his only taped interview (to that point) talking about the crime.
I checked the cited source (i.e. the ).
It says:
:Three high school students, Allison Nichols, Brittany Saltiel, and Sarah Siegel, worked with the Chaney, Schwerner and Goodman families, to bring about murder charges. [...] Their teacher even interviewed Edgar Ray Killen, the man convicted as the organizer of the murders of Chaney, Schwerner, and Goodman  and helped discover the long secret identity of the secret informer!
So did the students persuade Killen to give an interview to their teacher? Rl (talk) 11:40, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

message: The article lists Jetta Killen as Edgar Ray's mother. However, my ancestry.com records show that his mother was Mary Etta Hitt (Killen). I am the great grandson of Mary Etta Hitt's sister, Mattie Hitt Barber. https://www.ancestry.com/search/?name=edgar+ray_killen&count=50&location=2&name_x=1_1&priority=usa
