Sources[edit]

Since no sources are cited for this article at the time of this note, I tried to find some.

Web[edit]

There are almost no "reliable sources" on the web, but several sites that wouldn't qualify nevertheless have information that may be useful as the basis of a checklist for facts that should be covered.

An extensive article in Murderpedia () cites an entry in Michael Newton, An Encyclopedia of Modern Serial Killers; and also cites newspaper articles (1) “Buffalo man guilty in '80 killing .” The New York Times (October 24, 1985); (2) “Soldier, 26, is found competent for trial on murder charges,” by Robert Herman. The New York Times (February 18, 1982).
He's briefly mentioned in a timeline at (http://ourgeorgiahistory.com/year/1981).
Mark J. Mahoney represented him. (http://www.harringtonmahoney.com/mark-j.-mahoney).
An article about Christopher, without any attribution but obviously a quote, titled “One Man War against Blacks” at (http://panachereport.com/MyraPanachePresentsTragicStories-PanacheReport.htm).
A blog post with a rundown of the story is at (http://brucecorris.blogspot.com/2011/09/buffalos-serial-killer-anniversary-we.html).
The History Channel has a short article at (http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/so-called-midtown-stabber-kills-his-first-victim) (22 Sept 1980).
Fairly extensive article at (http://www.crimezzz.net/serialkillers/C/CHRISTOPHER_joseph_g.php) but no sources given.
Same stuff at (http://www.francesfarmersrevenge.com/stuff/serialkillers/christopher.htm).
Christopher was discussed in “The FBI Files” Season 2. see, www.y o u t u b e.com/watch?v=5DRId0ZptaU&feature=related.

Chronology[edit]

He joined the armed forces in 1979 after the 1980 murders were unsolvable? Perhaps the dates can be fixed if the source can be provided. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.220.53.254 (talk) 02:56, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
