Judy, We didn't start the rumor, but did report. We picked up the news from an anonymous submitter to the blog and then read Doug Hamilton's posting on FFL.
We later retracted the story because we couldn't confirm it through authorities. We clearly made a mistake in publishing our post. We believed we had two sources, but without names and details and official confirmation we should not have posted the story. It's a mistake we will not make again. Our apologies to anyone disturbed by the publishing of an apparently fictional event. John M. Knapp, LMSW http://tmfree.blogspot.com/
