Talk:Murder of Michele Avila

Tone
This article is beyond a mess and it sounds like it was written by a middle schooler. (Not to mention the complete lack of citations.) And really, Karen started beauty school and "scared the devil" out of a classmate? Right.

Some possible sources for a rewrite:
 * People magazine article from 19 Sept 1989:
 * Daily News, Los Angeles, 24 Oct 2004: Notorious Killer Loses Parole Bid

Improving the article
The tone is unprofessional--the article sounds like it was written by well meaning friends--but the facts are accurate. I have a copy of the true crime book "Missy's Murder" by Karen Kingsbury who covered this case for the LA Times. I could use to provide citations when I have a little more time. I'll also try to make the style more suitable for an encyclopedia article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Miss Tabitha (talk • contribs) 05:07, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Content removed
I have stubbed this article because it was a complete and total mess rife with speculation, poor grammar and odd, undue content about the differences between the real life case and the made-for-tv film. I am not familiar with the case so I did not attempt to rewrite the content and I really could not make sense of the content that was present, so stubbing it seems like the best alternative for now.

Randy’s surname
Where is the source that Randy’s surname is Orton? I can’t find anything about him, not even pictures and can only find sources that state his surname was Fernandez. Everytime I Google for Orton it only shows it’s that on this Wikipedia page. Where is this information coming from? 2600:6C47:BC00:513:187C:2585:9008:5490 (talk) 20:20, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
