Talk:Todd Kohlhepp

Added Amazon reviews
Added the unusual trail of Amazon reviews left by the killer. I was trying to find the right words to describe how this is noteworthy and unusual but I think I came a bit short. If anyone has a better wording than "sensational public evidence" please change it.

I linked to "The Worst of The Internet" Blog for 3 reasons:
 * 1) I found the news out from there myself
 * 2) I suspect that in time the Amazon reviews will be taken down but the blog entry will stay up
 * 3) The amazon reviews are clearly linked to by the blog entry directly, I cannot link directly to the amazon reviews as they are on wikipedia's spam blacklist and I currently don't have time to ask for it to be whitelisted. Also, because of #2 I'm not sure if I should do that?

Anyway, probably as this news story evolves there will be better sources or new info to put instead.Rusl (talk) 23:47, 8 November 2016 (UTC)


 * I have removed the lot per WP:RS, WP:BLP, and WP:SPAM. Dr.   K.  00:00, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
 * It really shouldn't. The Amazon reviews were talked about in the media, and should thus be noteworthy in this case. The guidelines are there to stop spam, but the source should have just been moved to one of the many news stories from reliable places that mention it. 75.139.76.105 (talk) 18:40, 30 November 2016 (UTC)


 * It looks like there are many reliable sources mentioning the reviews: Washinton Post, USA Today, NBC News, and others. Any of those would be better than the blog or the reviews themselves for several reasons, but how to include this content, or if it should be mentioned at all, is another matter.

Article needs revising
The article states that, "During her captivity, Brown was fed once a day, intimidated into not escaping after being shown the graves of Kohlhepp's other victims, and was not abused in any way." The "was not abused in any way" part of that statement doesn't make sense. To chain a human being up as though she were a non-human animal is to abuse her. If what "was not abused" means is that she was not raped or sexually assaulted, that needs to be made explicit. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 03:42, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
 * And locked in a metal shed during the height of summer in South Carolina. That in and of itself should likely be considered abuse. 75.139.76.105 (talk) 18:41, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Brown gave a recent interview on Dr. Phil and stated she was raped daily. 96.63.147.82 (talk) 11:31, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

The 1987 kidnapping of the article also mentions the charges of his conviction, however, looking through the 3 sources for it there is no mention of them. They only state that he had to register as a sex offender afterwards. I wanted to look it up because "a dangerous crime against children" didn't seem like a real charge for rape of a minor and I just can't find the mentions of the charges. It should be amended with the proper sources and proper name of the charges.2003:CD:CF30:8000:553E:D23:79E8:B7D (talk) 09:10, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

Degree or certificate?
One source in the article and others not included say that he got a bachelors degree from Central Arizona College; other sources not currently included say he got "certificates". Any suggestions on resolving the conflict or incorporating it in the article?

Execution
Why was he not executed given his horrific crimes? 107.127.46.13 (talk) 01:52, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

List of victims
I added the unnamed/anonymous female victim from 1986. It seemed arbitrarily selective to exclude her but include the other known surviving victim of his crimes. Dwarvenbtcminer (talk) 01:20, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
