Another FR thread on the subject with good pictures of the story in the paper. (Thank you Enlightened1!)

Here is the Press Enterprise Online newspaper for PA;
http://www.pressenterpriseonline.com/
I see the on line obits for:
Linda McDermott, Robert R. Beattie Sr., Shirley Hubberd.
All three are listed at the top of the first newspaper Kate is holding in her hand, so I take this as evidence that the paper exists. It would be a bit of work to dummy up this story in the newspaper. Not sure how to verify the story.
(People don’t lie to reporters and plant fake stories in the paper do they?)
I suppose someone will have to call up the PA St police to verify her story. (Who’s up next in PA?)
