Date of birth and middle name

imdb.com gives his birth date as November 14th and his middle name as Perry. Who's right? Kostaki mou (talk) 16:44, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Kostaki mou: -- The references I cited for Patrick are newspaper engagement and wedding announcements from the late 1960s. I found no such references for the middle name Perry. I conclude that Patrick is correct.

imdb.com has since changed Perry to Patrick. They haven't corrected his birth date. Kostaki mou (talk)

Date of birth?

Someone changed it but are we certain of the date?

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6005471/bio Born November 14, 1946 in Herminie, Pennsylvania, USA

Although a couple of other sites do say August. e.g. https://www.crimeandinvestigation.africa/shows/homicide-hunter/articles/lieutenant-joe-kenda (Where did they get that info? From Wikipedia?) AND several others at https://www.google.ca/search?q=joe+kenda+was+born+in+Herminie,+Pennsylvania&rlz=1C1RUCY_enCA781CA781&ei=IPn0WrezFqvWjwSmm7vYBA&start=20&sa=N&biw=1229&bih=588

Frankly, none of them are really credible news sites, so I have no idea what to say. Peter K Burian (talk) 01:58, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How many cases did he actually solve?

In the programme he himself claims to have solved 387, and the Internet is full of similar claims - but here we read "He investigated 387 homicide cases, solving 356, a closure rate of 92%". Of course that'a a lot of solved cases, but we surely need to get the figures right.89.212.50.177 (talk) 16:43, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
