Article is a mix of WP:VICTIM and WP:CRIME. Unfortunate as always, it does not appear to meet criteria for a stand-alone article. &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;  &#9743;(talk)  04:58, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * delete Horrific story, almost surprising that it did not get wider coverage, given the unusually sympathetic and horrific details. But although intensely covered statewide in Vermont both at the time and as legal proceedings against the murderers, it seems to have gotten little out-of-region coverage, and does not seem to have entered wider conversations about, say, stalking.  Nor has it produced notable memorials to the victim, or inspired writers to produce TV or novel versions of event.  So it fails WP:GNG. The article itself was created by a rookie editor, and would need a clean-up if kept.  Willing to reconsider if someone turns up sources.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:06, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - Whilst news like this is awful to hear IMHO we don't need every single article on someone who's died for whatever reason, This imho does fail WP:MEMORIAL so unfortunately I'll have to say Delete. – Davey 2010 Talk 15:18, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
