User:Iadmc/(factsheet) Murder of Denise Amber Lee

Basic facts and article issues edit

  • Denise Amber Lee was murdered by Michael King on January 17, 2008; the crime followed his kidnapping and raping her earlier in the day.
    • Correct and easily sourced
  • Lee and several others had attempted to call for help through the 9-1-1 system but there was a lack of communication and the police and other emergency services arrived too late.
    • Correct and easily sourced but needs clarification (how was there a lack of communication?)
  • At least four 911 calls were made, one by Lee herself from her abductor's phone and one from a witness, Jane Kowalski, the latter giving a detailed account of events as they unfolded before her.
    • Actually five by five different callers including the victim.   Done in lead;   Not done in other sections (see below)
  • Particulars of the crime (see the subpages /The crime and /The Crime (Basic English rewrite)
    • Essentially correct but text needs a massive rewrite so it does not look like a witness statement but is rather an encyclopedic account of events
  • Particulars of the trial (see the subpage /The trial)
    • Ditto Particulars of the crime
  • The aftermath and parallel developments (see the subpage /The aftermath)
    • The facts need to be massively expansed upon: enormous amounts of work have been done both by the family and the authorities to address the various failings, In particular:
    1. Denise Amber Lee Act and potential further FL State Law
      • Former is voluntary; latter would seek to make certification and training mandatory for all 9-1-1 call takers and dispatchers in FL
      • New section needed to discuss these developments
    2. Denise Amber Lee Foundation
      • Clear but needs minor copyediting and rewording
    3. Sponsorship of same by Gulf Coast Community Foundation of Venice
      • Needs adding and citing as an important fact
    4. Parallel developments in other countries/states etc
      • Need looking into and adding if relevent. Eg, there was a similar situation in Australia recently
  • Denise Amber Lee bio
    • Nathaniel Alan Lee (but probably stick with Nathan Lee for now).   Done Rest needs minor expansion but fine for now
  • Photograph of Lee
    • In hand (need clarification of copyright procedures)
  • Michael King bio
    • Expand if possible
  • Photograph of King
    • Only to be added if Lee's photo is added and only then if deemed appropriate
  • Tags
    • OR tag was possibly correct at time of placement but made inaccurate now by the many new refs and ELs   Done refactored tag to include only {{cleanup}}
    • Cleanup is in hand
  • Orphaned article
    • Need to find other articles to link to this article
    • Possibilities include: articles on similar crimes, articles on similarly mishandled crimes, articles on similar bills, articles on authorities discussing similar situations and bills etc
