real name edit

Parker was found by a New Zealand reporter in 1997. In his article (available at http://www.domusaurea.org/borovnia/hilary.html among other places), he tells us that "Pauline was prepared for New Zealanders to learn of her new life". In addition, her sister, who clearly remains in close contact with her, spoke with the press at length. There may have been some point in the past where it would have made sense to leave this information out of Wikipedia, but this is no longer true. Parker's new name has been printed in newspapers around the world, it is a matter of public knowledge, and neither she nor her sister objected to its being revealed. I will reintroduce it to the article, along with the source.

similarity LDS religion? edit

Part of this statement from the article has been removed here for discussion:

"They had also invented their own personal religion, with its own ideas on morality, which bore a striking resemblance to the Latter-Day Saints."

Where is the citation for this statement? In what ways was the "religion" created by the two girls similar to that of the Later-day Saints? The sentence stands to be edited for clarity, at the very least. Shouldn't it read, "They incorporated ideas of morality into their own personal religion, which bore a striking resemblance to _that_ of the Latter-day Saints?"

Whilst I agree that the reference ought to have been removed, there is an element of truth which should perhaps be explored. They girls "religion" was not dissimilar to LDS, in the sense of imaginary saints and powers, revelations and so on. Anne Perry did become a Mormon.125.237.105.102 (talk) 20:26, 21 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

Errors edit

Juliet was not going to "accompany her father to South Africa, where he planned to move after the divorce". He was returning to England. Honora Parker's body was not found by police, but by the tea kiosk owner.125.237.105.102 (talk) 20:23, 21 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
