Photo.

I'm trying to find a photo of Campbell. I can only find two photos, each of two completely different guys. One is a photo of a big, bald man with a long mustache, and is wearing an orange jumpsuit. The other is of a thin tall man with bushy hair, walking with his hands cuffed. I've browsed through old newspaper articles, but can't find anything. Can anybody help?

The bald guy with the mustache is Darold Ray Stenson, he was supposed to be executed in 2008 but his conviction was overturned and the retrial is set to start July 2013. Other photo might be Campbell. Think it's the same one from Ann Rule "Without Pity" (which covers CRC in detail) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.101.131.29 (talk) 22:59, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Murder of Hallie Ann Seaman

The Seattle times just published an article saying that DNA evidence has linked to camel to a 1975 murder of a woman named Hallie Ann Seaman. [1] I've added a brief note at the end of the "crimes" section, I'll add more later if nobody more qualified than me at edits the article. Jhhillman (talk) 02:58, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Renaming article to "Clearview triple murders" – thoughts?

It seems that article-naming conventions across Wikipedia regarding crime/criminal biography articles are prioritizing crime victims over perpetrators more frequently. (See Murder of Peter Weinberger, which I initially named after the murderer before a more experienced editor told me it would be more appropriate to name it after the crime and victim respectively – and, very recently, Murder of Felicia Gayle, which I wasn't involved with, but which gained significant press coverage due to the controversy surrounding the execution of the man convicted of her murder, Marcellus Williams; despite this, a discussion on the article's talk page determined that it would be more appropriate to maintain a name that prioritized the crime and victim. Also see Carol City murders for a mass murder involving three killers, two of whom [Beauford White and John Erroll Ferguson] have been the focal point of sustained media coverage due to different aspects of their cases.)

Given this trend, given Wikipedia's notability guidelines re: crime/criminal biographies, and especially given the "Murder of Felicia Gayle" talk page discussion, would it be more appropriate to name this article after the victims/crime? I'm not 100% sure, and I also understand that renaming the article would require a heavy reorganization of information, since the info contained here focuses primarily on the life, case, and execution of Charles Rodman Campbell. Furthermore, I also understand that the nature of Campbell's execution – the highly unusual method (hanging) and the fact that he was the first person involuntarily executed in 33+ years and in Washington State's modern death penalty history – makes him a historically noteworthy crime figure on his own.

However, as I've been attempting to address the numerous missing citations and factual errors throughout the article, an aspect of this crime I've seen in a lot of its press coverage has been the failure of Washington's legal system to notify the victims; this means that a lot of the press coverage focuses on the victims first and foremost, as well as the impact the triple murders of Renae Wicklund, Shannah Wicklund, and Barbara Hendrickson had on Washington's parole system and victim notification systems. I have also noticed that a lot of the case's press coverage focuses on Clearview, the location of the murders; there are several articles featuring extensive interviews with Clearview residents regarding their thoughts on the case, which is why I proposed placing the city in the title.

Although I would personally support renaming the article to something like Clearview triple murders, I could see an argument being made either way for supporting or opposing any change; I'd love to see other opinions on it. I would also love to see other recommendations for potential titles, especially those that may be less vague. In the meantime, I'll continue seeking sources for unsourced information.
