Start of an article on the Murder of Seth Rich
Seth Conrad Rich was born on January 3, 1989, to parents Joel and Mary Rich, but murdered 27 years later on July 10, 2016, around 4 AM in the morning on the streets of Washington DC. He had an older brother named Aaron. Rich was raised in Omaha, Nebraska, and was a student at the Friedel Jewish Academy and Central High School. Later while a student at Creighton, he worked with the US Census Bureau as well as the Nebraska Democratic Party, interning for Senator Ben Nelson. After graduating in 2011, Seth obtained employment by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner (a polling company) and relocated to Washington, DC. In Washington DC, Rich found employment with the Democratic National Committee, where he developed a computer program that let people find their polling places by entering their names. There in Washington DC, while speaking on his cell phone with his girl friend, Kelsey [Mulka], he was gunned down from behind, but neither his wallet nor his watch were taken, causing doubt that the motive was robbery. [The last name of Mulka has not been absolutely proven to us, but seems likely.]
The police were aided in finding the location of the shooting by an auditory system in Washington DC called
ShotSpotter. Rich was yet conscious and breathing when the police found him. But he died later at a hospital.
Soon after that, Wikileaks released a multitude of emails which indicated that members of the DNC had given favorable treatment to Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders in the Democratic presidential primary of 2016. After the Democratic primary, the leader of Wikileaks was interviewed by a Dutch television man; in that interview Julian Assange spoke about the dangers to their sources (whistle-blowers) who give information to Wikileaks. At about the same time, Assange offered a reward of $20,000 for information concerning the murder of Seth Rich. But Assange did not directly assert that Seth Rich was the source of the email leaks. This $20,000 reward followed the reward of $25,000 offered by the Washington DC police.
Wikipedia presented a very short article on the murder of Seth Rich, but then proceeded to debate whether or not this murder were notable enough for an article on Wikipedia. As of August 13, 2016, the debate is still in progress.<ref>http://www.jewishomaha.org/jewish-press/2016/seth-conrad-rich/; https://www.facebook.com/kmulka1/friends?pnref=lhc; http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3724508/Parents-slain-DNC-staffer-Seth-Rich-ask-help-three-weeks-slain-DC-street.html; http://www.people.com/article/friends-remember-dnc-staffer-seth-rich; http://abcnews.go.com/US/dnc-staffer-killed-wanted-make-difference-family/story?id=40551800; http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/08/10/wikileaks-offers-20000-reward-over-murder-of-democrat-staffer-se/; http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/08/10/assange-implies-murdered-dnc-staffer-was-wikileaks-source.html; http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/washington-dnc-staffer-seth-conrad-rich-shot-killed-article-1.2707538¬; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Seth_Rich; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Murder_of_Seth_Rich.</ref>
