I've marked this article for proposed deletion - it contains no sources, but discusses someone as a particularly gruesome criminal, which simply isn't acceptable. Our policy states that "any unsourced material may be challenged and removed"; consider this a challenge to find the sources!

(Sorry to be quite so blunt about this... but it really needs something done, and better we have no article than we have an unsourced one)

I tracked down Dolly Dunn in Honduras for 60 Minutes Australia, so I can guarantee the story is correct. Melanie Morningstar, Sydney, Australia 8/3/21. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kittykitty213 (talk • contribs) 21:57, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This person was found in Honduras but US Secretary of State Albright authorized extradition. Honduras is a separate country, the US Secretary of State has no authority there. The statement as written cannot be true.

Quite a bit of detail on how Dunn bribed police, fled to Honduras and was tracked down by Sixty Minutes.

The Central American country has no extradition treaty with either Australia or the United States, so Honduran immigration authorities took a different tack. They decided to detain Dunn and then expel him as an "undesirable person." Because many international flights out of Tegucigalpa land in Miami as either a destination or connecting point, it made sense for Dunn to be sent to the United States, which does have an extradition treaty with Australia. The only possible problem: Honduran immigration officers by law couldn't hold Dunn longer than 24 hours, so they had to time their arrest in a way that would ensure he was promptly put on a plane to Miami.

I was just going to ask about this, but seems the question has been already answered. But to the point, maybe we should change that one sentence? I mean it does sound confusing to begin with. Norum (talk) 10:36, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
