[edit] earlier comments

I live down the road from Claremont and I've never heard it referred to as the Claremont Murders. Its always been the Claremont Serial Killer. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.59.187.214 (talk • contribs) .

I created the article, knowing of the crime, but living 2 states away. We get a filtered deal here I guess. What did the media call it before the second murder occured I wonder? :) I'm open to renaming. -- Longhair 07:13, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Don't remember what they called it prior to the second, don't think they called it anything think it was just reported as a disappearance. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.59.187.214 (talk • contribs) .

It would have been called the Sarah Spiers disappearance or the Sarah Spiers case or something similar. There wasn't a set label for the case at the time, I think, but it was her name and her face that was featured all over the place. It's no exaggeration to say that it received massive publicity. - Russell Brown 10:11, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
