Early Years Section

[edit]

If the Sifrits were born in 1977 and 1978, how could they be 25 in 1998 when they were married? 99.225.250.208 (talk) 02:02, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The "25" was corrected to "20" on Dec. 7, 2011. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.20 (talk) 15:31, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistent information

[edit]

It says on the lede that Erika serves lifetime + 20 years in prison, while it says on the info box lifetime + 25 years. Which one is correct? GreyWinterOwl (talk) 08:49, 26 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Still unresolved. Ahead of "Early lives" section is the mention of life + 20 years, but in 2 other places (one of them the info box) it has life + 25 years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.20 (talk) 15:39, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The TV show Snapped states that she received life plus 25 years. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 05:35, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

killing Joshua Ford

[edit]

I find:

"and Benjamin pulled a gun on the couple. After retreating to the bathroom, Ford was shot four times with Benjamin Sifrit's gun and killed."

But it's Erika who's convicted of the murder of Joshua Ford. Please reconcile. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.20 (talk) 15:27, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The husband killed the other husband. The wife killed the other wife. That is what happened in fact. At trial, both defendants claimed that the other spouse had committed the murders. The police had more "good" evidence against the wife and less "good" evidence against the husband. So, in other words, the police more easily could prove the wife's involvement; they could do so less easily with the husband. So, ultimately, the jury convicted the wife of both murders and convicted the husband of only one. That sounds convoluted. I hope I cleared it up a little. Joseph A.

did you mean both couples?

[edit]

I find:

>After a night of partying together at the Seacrets nightclub in Ocean City Maryland, the couple went back to the Sifrits' condominium.

Should it be something like this?

Yes. Thanks. I just fixed it. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 05:15, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Correct terminology, please

[edit]

Article in its current state says that they were caught while attempting to rob a Hooters restaurant. I have it from the Ocean City Police Department and from several news sources including the Baltimore Sun that they were caught after attempting to burglarize the Ocean City Hooters.

Burglary is break-in and theft; robbery is use of force or threat of force to coerce an employee to hand over money. OCPD used security footage to identify the Sifrits after their failed break in; when they found Crutchley and Ford's identification in Sifrit's purse, they knew they had caught the killers, who might otherwise never have been identified. 192.119.254.46 (talk) 21:53, 18 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Correct. It was a burglary, not a robbery. I changed the terminology in the article. Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 04:00, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
