September 2007

Cleaned up some vandalism. (Someone had changed all the dates from the 1990's to the 1950's?) 63.241.190.32 16:34, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

June 2007

I'm not a doctor, but I suspect the passage "He also suffered from monkeyotisidis, a tramatic disorder where the host believes that all monkeys are werewolfs ploting a world domination plan against them." is, um, inaccurate. I also softened the thing about the grandfather being a child-raping killer. I don't recall that ever being proven, and sounded like of libelous. Ansat 17:10, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

December 2008

With all the pages out there on Rod Ferrell, I'm really surprised there's nothing on this page about his mother. He grew up in a really...strange household and that definitely has bearing on his crime. --Wildefae (talk) 22:31, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Blood

According to the asrticle, Rod Ferrell consumed the blood of his victims after he killed them. That's a myth. Rod simply removed the man's shirt and burnt a "V" for vampire on his chest with a lit cigarette and then took his credit card. He then murdered his wife in a similar fashion. Read "Children Who Kill" by Carol Ann Davis - it contains real detailed facts. Change it asap please thank you

Questionable Content/NPOV/Relevance

I have serious doubts about the validity of several of the claims made on this page. The article is incomplete and lacks reference or supporting statements.

The following selection has little to no bearing on the article and seems to advertise or promote the group mnetioned. Yohe didn't use the building in his live-action roleplaying sessions, preferring to stick to his rented house off the campus of Murray State or the large fields around the city, though many of Ferrell's associates have alluded to the fact that he enjoyed going to the LBL area. Despite the sensationalized V.A.M.P.S. roleplaying group headed by James Yohe, Rod Ferrell's attendance at these roleplaying sessions was limited to a handful of appearances. --ElderBeholder 01:51, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vampire: The Masquerade

I was watching a show on History Channel International called Vampire Secrets. It talked about Rod Ferrell and his vampire role play. It stated numerous times that he and his friends played Vampire: The Masquerade. I'm surprised it's not mentioned in this article at all. Should this be included in the article in some aspect? —Preceding unsigned comment added by BrettxPW (talk • contribs) 04:33, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's possibly relevant information - but on the other hand, one doesn't want to come off like they're linking the two. His vampire fantasies were quite separate and he was probably drawn to V:TM because he had them, not the other way around. The trope of roleplayer as killer is pretty overused and controversial, so you want to be careful with it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wildefae (talk • contribs) 22:29, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ring Leader?

The lead sentence says "Roderick Justin Ferrell (born March 28, 1980) was the leader of a loose-knit gang of teenagers...."[emphasis mine], yet an article in The Independent contradicts this : "Whilst Rod Ferrell may have drawn Heather Wendorf into the vampire's circle of murder he is not described as the clan's ringleader. That honour goes to 19-year-old Dana Cooper."[1] -- GateKeeper ^(talk) @ 01:32, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
