I was unaware that this was a false case and had been shocked by the details. I first read about it in a book called Influence.

Thank you for correcting my error!

No worries! I only started getting my own suspicions when I read Seedman's book. Once I started reading around the subject a bit though I was a little shocked at how easily academic have taken to repeating what they evidently read in a textbook themselves without necessarily checking the original sources. Of course, we all do it...

I’ve heard of this case, of course. So it was fascinating (though still horrifying) to learn the true story. Thanks for setting the record straight.
