Tag added
editArticle lacks sufficient reliable sources for a BLP. I tagged it as such. momoricks 03:37, 4 December 2009 (UT)
Jesperson was never in training to join the RCMP. I removed that, remember, eggheads, cite your scources. Meanfrank (talk) 01:41, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
Removal of speculative content
editI have removed the following from the article. This was put in the section about Jesperson's daughter:
Possible reference to Happy Face Killer on The Mentalist
The main recurring storyline on the CBS drama The Mentalist is Patrick Jane's (Simon Baker) efforts to find "Red John", a serial killer. Red John's "signature" is a red-painted happy face that runs slightly. Whether or not the producers of the show stole the idea from Keith Jesperson remains to be seen.
The reason is that it's just speculation. There is nothing to prove that the character from The Mentalist is a reference to Jesperson, other than the "red-painted happy face". Bzcoolness (talk) 02:58, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
Citizenship
editFrom close sources I know that he never acquired U.S. citizenship, what he had was U.S. permanent residency, which is different. He remains solely a Canadian. Hienzman (talk) 21:48, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
Trivia in summary
edit"He has recently been featured on the Investigation Discovery show Dark Minds as "Raven", the serial killer that the host phones to discuss cold cases."
I don't think this belongs up there as it's nothing to do with him. If this is in any way noteworthy at all and verifiable, it should appear in a later section like "in popular culture" or similar. --178.3.147.128 (talk) 12:11, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
Winningham?
editThe article says "Jesperson was arrested on March 30, 1995, for the murder of Winningham." But there is no reference to "Winningham" anywhere else in the article. Perhaps something got deleted? --2600:1700:28A0:84D0:58B:8099:7858:53AC (talk) 04:49, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
Jesperson's daughter
editI have some trouble with the subsection "Jesperson's daughter" in the current form. I don't object to the facts mentioned, but why is the daughter listed under his name here in this article? I mean it's not her fault for what her father did? She doesn't remote-control her father ... so this is weird. It's as if wikipedia makes the father more important, and thus delegates the subsection to him.
I'd recommend considering creating a separate article (aka starting with the daughter in that new article), and in that article one could relate to it. But right now it's so weird how there is a lot of content added under "Jesperson's daughter" but not even an article about her, as a person? How is this fair? This is a general problem. Wikipedia focuses "unequally". Again - nothing against the facts, but the way how it is presented in the larger context, seems very unfair and biased. As it is, wikipedia adds content BASED on Keith, rather than on the daughter as such. 2A02:8388:1602:6D80:3AD5:47FF:FE18:CC7F (talk) 15:26, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
