Very well written artcile on a very gruesome murder. It is a new article of adequate length. No issues of copy right violation as there are many quotes. Book is of acceptable length and well cited. The image is freely licensed. The artcile is good to go on DYK .Nvvchar. 07:28, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My concern is that the hook is more about an event and a person than it is about the house in the article. I am promoting it but my concern is voiced. Bruxton (talk) 22:14, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
