Article needs better flow

edit

This article seems to dash around all over the place. If the article was better organized the reader might gain a better understanding about the motives of the letter writer. An encyclopedic article should be about conveying information, not attempting to be a crime novel with a big reveal at the end. Explain how the offender was motivated to write the letters, the explain who was written to and why they were selected, if known. Some sequence or time order would also help. Move from early life and upbringing, to adult life, precursor events, the crimes, the reporting to Police, the investigation, arrest, court hearing, sentence, conviction, imprisonment, release, post-release life and death, more or less in that order. The summary should touch on the highlights that explain the key facts and reason for notability and importance. The reader wants to know what distinguishes this article from millions of others they could read, write or edit. I assess this article as being of start class quality and of low importance because it does not explain these things clearly, at present. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 11:02, 31 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
