Theories section[edit]

I've removed the entirety of the "Theories" section of this article as per WP:BLP. I've rarely seen a violation as bad as this one, which essentially accused a living person of murder with almost no sourcing. Note that I found many claims that were "sourced" in the sense that a citation was placed at the end of the sentence, but "unsourced" in the proper sense that the citation did not support the statement being made in the article, which is why I deleted the entire section until reviewed. Help would be appreciated in finding what's worth keeping here, if anything. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 14:43, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Edits made to Death of Lynn Messer corrected incongruity in the article between details discussed in the above collection of articles painstakingly prepared by the Daily Journal statements in the page entry assert factual statements in regards to the claims of Kerry Messer to be cooperating with investigators which contradicts the statements of investigators as recorded and documented in the articles referenced here.

Claims regarding theories are and were based on testimony presented and documented in both those articles and numerous other including the Saint Louis Post Dispatch. ^[2]

and the Missouri Times ^[3] ^[4]

Statements regarding me finding my mother were published to facebook and are the original source material for nearly every public article published. Also repeated by the Missouri Times.

^[5] ^[6]

Statements made by Kerry Messer were documented directly from his self published facebook page ^[7]
