Age of Pappas

EEng, the contemporaneous Chicago Tribune report on the execution lists Pappas as being 34, but the New York Daily News lists her as 29. I've went with the Tribune from 1942, but would be open to changing it if we have reason to believe more current sourcing is accurate on this. Just wanted your thoughts.

Offhand it seems there's surprisingly little on the whole case. For the moment I'd suggest noting in the article (parenthetically) that source X says age A, while source Y says age B. It's not worth worrying about now; when someone gets serious about expanding the article by finding sources, this question will sort itself out easily. E Eng 22:03, 22 June 2017 (UTC) reply
Since the A Crime to Remember episode also says Pappas was 29, I would tend to go with that. 184.166.187.64 ( talk) 01:28, 26 June 2017 (UTC) reply
That kind of true-crime TV stuff is highly unreliable, especially where we already know there's a conflict of sources. E Eng 18:55, 19 February 2018 (UTC) reply
