Bellevue murders

Hi there! You've made some contributions to the Bellevue murders article recently, and while most of them are great, you have twice edited the paragraph about the two boys who discovered the body to indicate that they were actually Baranyi and Anderson. This is not correct. The paragraph from the source article reads:

"On Jan. 4, 1997, two boys were playing in a park in Bellevue, Wash., an upscale suburb east of Seattle, when they spotted what they thought was a pile of clothes concealed by shrubs about five feet off a trail. When the boys returned to the park the next morning they soon realized what they had seen was a body. They ran home; one of their mothers called the Bellevue Police Department."

Those boys were not Baranyi and Anderson. They did not mistake the body of the person they had killed for a pile of rags. ;) So I've changed it back, and also removed the stuff from the beginning of the paragraph about Baranyi and Anderson, as it comes up under the Investigation heading. Hope this makes sense. All the other edits you've done have really helped clean the article up! Cheers nerdgoonrant (talk) 21:30, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I figured that's what it was. I'm pretty new around here myself. Keep up the good work! nerdgoonrant (talk) 22:25, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
