Murder edit
I read the entire article. Why exactly was he charged with murder? Was this due to the death of his ex-girlfriend, Grimilda Figueroa? The article should clarify this point. Much/most of the article is about the three kidnapped women, all of whom survived. So, there was no "murder" per se, in the kidnapping scenarios (as far as I can tell). And this article is entitled "kidnappings". So, it should clarify when/where/how/why he faced a murder charge? I am assuming it has to do with the death of his ex-girlfriend, Grimilda Figueroa ... but I am not sure ... and the article is unclear. And, if that's the case, that murder really had nothing to do with the kidnappings. Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 06:52, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
- It's mostly explained in the article under 'legal proceedings'; the two aggravated murder charges in the plea deal relate to the termination of Knight's fourth pregnancy. -- zzuuzz (talk) 07:38, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Zzuuzz: OK. I see it now. Not sure how I missed it. Thanks a lot! Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 08:35, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

Ted bundy edit
This sounds just like the Ted bundy case 2604:CB00:1E29:EF00:CDFE:F88C:CC2:1AE5 (talk) 12:03, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
Inappropriate comment/content edit
I have no idea how to edit on here so I thought I’d call attention to the words “what an a hole” that are at the end of the first paragraph under Kidnappings. 2601:404:CC00:1570:0:0:0:88ED (talk) 22:18, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
- That content was added not long ago and has now been removed. Thanks for letting us know. - Aoidh (talk) 22:22, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
