I suspect this is a hoax. The Internet has never heard of a serial killer named Lino Brigman (or of anyone with that name). The single source is a book that WorldCat has never heard about which is very strange since it was supposedly published by Random House. (Google also has 0 hits for the author of the book).

  • Delete - I agree with you. I also searched by subject, author, and alleged book title on Random House (no such author or title for them), Amazon.com (nothing), the internet (nothing) and Find A Grave. And if you look at the author name on that supposed book, I think it is a wink at the hoax. Sujokei. Su...joke...i  ? — Maile (talk) 21:14, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
On top of that, the account might be a sockpuppet of User:Iwritegoodarticles whose sole contribution is another potential hoax. Pichpich (talk) 21:18, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - I may have overstepped my bounds, but I just deleted this article as a blatant hoax. No sources found, nothing online, no blogs, no news, no books. Nothing. Editor created another hoax article, I have blocked as NOTHERE. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 20:30, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
