One problem I noticed with this article is that it uses conclusory language, such as "in one of the most outrageous trials in Danish history", without any citations to back that language up. Who thinks it was one of the most outrageous trials in Danish history? What makes it so? --warmfuzzygrrl (talk) 00:29, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

One source [1] calls this (in Danish): "en af Danmarkshistoriens mest omtalte retssager" (one of the most publicized/talked about trials in the history of Denmark). "outrageous" is now changed to "talked about". — fnielsen (talk) 20:59, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just watched the documentary, where they mention that she confessed 16-20 murders, but was only convicted of 8 - where they could absolutely proof that she did it. Is the numbers in the article correct? Chosig (talk) 21:48, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The title is wrong. All sources state her name as Dagmar Overby (with no e at the end). Could somebody please redirect the article?

The wrong spelling seems to originate in Wikipedia (see the French and Swedish versions, thay’ve also got it wrong). 37.96.23.96 (talk) 21:01, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
