Ages of victims if they were still alive

[edit]

I understand the sympathy with the victims and their families, but fictional ages if they had not been murdered do not seem encyclopedic. We do not include the ages of most other murder victims, if they were still alive, do we? The article on the Lindbergh kidnapping does not include the helpful information that the baby’s age in a better universe would be 93, and Assassination of John F. Kennedy does not include in an info box that JFK would be 106. Articles on 9/11 and on school shootings do not include hypothetical ages. Articles about kidnapped or disappeared persons might well include their hypothetical present age and age-progressed appearance, since they might still be growing older, unless the span of years makes that implausible. I suggest removing the “ages” from the info box of this article. Edison (talk) 03:47, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, which infobox were you looking at? Officially Keith Bennett is still missing as his body has never been found. But Brady was quite clear that he murdered him. 205.239.40.3 (talk) 09:00, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
