Premature reports which have proven to be untrue are all too common in newspapers of all eras. The famous “Dewey Defeats Truman [1]“ headline of the “Chicago Tribune [1]” of 1948 is perhaps the most well known. Here is one which I’ve not seen before as reported in the “Prescott Journal Miner” of Arizona, April 3, 1932 [2]. It was just over a month later that the Lindbergh baby was found dead. Please share other false reports with the collectible community.
