The family name Fromme is of German origin, still found in a number exceeding 1040 phone book entries in Germany which is above average, the name and families being deeptly rooted in Westphalia. The name means "the pious one" and is pronounced fʁɔm-ə (stressed on the first syllable) in IPA. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.184.38.161 ( talk) 13:09, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
According to an article I read which in turn cited a genealogical website, Lynette Fromme is distantly related to General Erik Fromme, the German General who was the commander of the German "Reserve Army" in 1944 at the time of the plot against Hitler, and who was subsequently arrested and executed. Fromme's actual knowledge of the plot is unclear, but he arrested Claus von Stauffenberg and the other chief conspirators at the Werhmacht HQ building and after a brief summary court martial, had them shot around midnight on July 20. This implicated him, rightly or wrongly, since the Gestapo was thus unable to interrogate the coup leaders and obtain further information and names. Fromme is depicted in the Tom Cruise "Valkyrie" film. I do not recall the exact relationship, but it was remote-- 3rd cousin removed twice or thrice, etc. Lynette Fromme's paternal ancestors must have immigrated to the States only in the late 19th Century for that to work out. Interesting trivia if it is correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.163.90.86 ( talk) 23:41, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
The article and source lists a projected release date of 08/16/09 – however she is serving a life sentence. Has her sentence been commuted or is this an error on the source website? Sottolacqua ( talk) 15:46, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
Yes, she is serving a life sentence but she was sentenced BEFORE the federal government abolished parole for life sentences. The Federal Bureau of Prisons website states that her projected release date is August 16, 2009. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.106.43.63 ( talk) 21:13, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
I've read before that the weapon she pointed at Ford was not loaded. This article states: "The pistol's magazine was loaded with four rounds, but none were in the firing chamber." I'm not sure I know enough about pistols to understand what it means to have a round in the magazine but not in the firing chamber. Hopefully someoen can add some clarifying details to this section of the article. There can only be one round in the chamber at a time, right? Could she have fired this pistol if she had pulled the trigger several times? 162.6.97.3 ( talk) 20:06, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
This is needlessly and overtly tying an adult child evicted for unruly behavior to the plight of homelessness.
As is Wikipedia's custom, all edits must be screen by Air America staff and if they're factual but not flattering of a Left-Wing icon, they're deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.245.127.28 ( talk) 06:50, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

By whose diagnosis? I've not once read a qualified assessment of Fromme as depressed at 17.
The passage should be cited or deleted! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.245.127.28 ( talk) 06:51, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
A picture of the subject might be appropriate. 109.145.59.194 ( talk) 09:20, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
I came to this article to find out why Fromme is referred to as "Squeaky". Surprisingly, it doesn't say. Somebody should fix that. — Hex (❝?!❞) 04:16, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
I do not think its of any inportance, Some people just have nicknames — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.25.8.115 ( talk) 04:52, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
I must be misreading something. This says she was released in 2009. But the news today august 2013 says she is about to be released. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.181.60.249 ( talk) 13:42, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
The Wiki entries for both Redondo Beach High School, and Westchester High School list her as "Notable Alumni." Since this isn't possible, does anyone know which high school she actually graduated from? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.61.20.206 ( talk) 14:07, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

- What incident? Former convict harassed by unscrupulous TV personnel who in their segment on her make a point of telling the viewers (voyeurs?) where she can be found if they have a score to settle. All she did was not want to be filmed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Henryfunk ( talk • contribs) 06:28, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

Aftermath
In 1979, Fromme was transferred out of Federal Correctional Institution, Dublin in Dublin, California, for attacking a fellow inmate, Julienne Bušić, with the claw-end of a hammer. On December 23, 1987, she escaped from the Federal Prison Camp, Alderson in Alderson, West Virginia, attempting to meet Manson, who she had heard had testicular cancer. She was captured again two days later and incarcerated at the Federal Medical Center, Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas.[3]
I believe this should read, "On December 23, 1987, she escaped from the Federal Prison Camp, Alderson in Alderson, West Virginia, attempting to meet Manson, whom she had heard had testicular cancer." I.e., "whom" rather than "who". PentiumPro ( talk) 17:15, 20 November 2017 (UTC)PentiumPro 11/20/2017
