It needs to come from a reliable source (please read that link to see what counts as reliable). It should also be a secondary source (book, academic paper, etc). - SchroCat (talk) 16:05, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mark Dyer, Ms McKay's grandson said "We are in a unique position. How often do you have a murderer telling the victim's family where they buried the body. I told DSI Goodwin that this a fresh slate and I believe she is the right person to move things forward." [[1]] Muharram21 (talk) 13:24, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's not clear what you want doing with this. I'll also add that The Daily Mail is a deprecated source on WP, given its propensity to make things up, so we wouldn't base anything on that anyway. Finally, I think Mr Dyer may be mistaken in the claim: at least one of the Moors murderers made the same offer before their deaths. - SchroCat (talk) 13:28, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
