Questions about facts in the intial paragraph
editI question the validity that this is the largest casefile in Georgia history. The Atlanta Child Murders had more than 20 victims and numerous suspects including something that was referred to as "The List". With investigations into Wayne B. Williams over the course of it all, I would be surprised to learn that this case dwarfs the ATL child murders. Thanks for reading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lancelovett (talk • contribs) 21:02, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
- The Special Agent in Charge at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said in February 2015 that it was, "the largest case in the history of the GBI". Based on this source it seems reasonable to remove the "citation needed" tag ... or perhaps someone who knows how to do it could add this ref to the position the tag was in. 172.58.41.69 (talk)
- Thanks for looking into this. Unfortunately, the quote you're referencing is vague and does not answer the question of "how" this is the biggest case in GBI history. If a source is found that supports that is the biggest case file in Georgia history the sentence could be restored, but for now I would say it shouldn't be there without support.

Involvement by "Up and Vanished"
editI'm planning on adding a section about the podcast Up and Vanished's involvement using these sources.

- Content based on the preceding refs was indeed added, but I see from article history that it was moved subsequently to the article for "Up and Vanished" by another user. 172.58.41.69 (talk)
- Hi, I deleted the current section on Up and Vanished because there were no citations in the article that supported the information, especially the claim that the podcast lead to an arrest. I moved the cited content about the gag order to a more appropriate section. If you are interested in adding content about the podcast and its involvement in the case, I'd recommend working on the section in your user sandbox until it is ready for inclusion with proper citation.

Moving article to Murder of Tara Grinstead
editPer BabbaQ, I'm introducing the idea of moving the article to the Murder of Tara Grinstead since there are hardly any articles named in the manner it is now aka "murder case". She's also legally presumed dead, and charges have been filed. What do you think?Scott218 (talk) 20:20, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
- Support - I will support this move now that we know so much more.--BabbaQ (talk) 09:30, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
