| | Murder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In the United States, murder, or "homicide", is normally a crime only under state law, and a murder suspect will be arrested and held by local officials and tried in a local court on behalf of the state. | | | Murder is both a legal and a moral term, that are not always coincident. | | | Depending on the state, a murder may qualify as "capital murder" if (a) the person murdered was of a special class, such as a police officer; (b) "special circumstances" occurred in the crime, such as multiple murder, the use of poison, or "lying in wait" in order to murder the victim. |

| | Child abduction-murders: Why? |
| | The study, finished in 1997, examined 600 child abduction-murder cases from 44 states over a three-year period. | | | Although neither the FBI, the Justice Department nor private groups keep data, a study by the Washington state attorney general's office found that about 100 children are abducted and murdered by strangers each year, most of them involving some form of sexual perversion. | | | In many cases, that is what it is. However, noting descriptions and license numbers is a good idea. |
