Claim
On January 12, 1976, the body of 16-year-old Pamela Maurer was found behind a guardrail
Correction
The date is wrong. Multiple reports on the 2020 case announcement say Pamela Maurer left a friend's house on January 12, 1976 and her body was found the next day, January 13.
Full reasoning
Contemporary reporting on the case-identification announcement in 2020 contradicts this date.
- ABC7 Chicago reported that Pamela Maurer left a friend's house on the night of January 12, 1976 and that "Her body was found the next day" by a road crew.
- Chronicle Media reported even more specifically that "Maurer's body was discovered at 7:30 a.m. Jan. 13, 1976".
So the article's statement that her body was found on January 12, 1976 is incorrect; the reporting says it was found on January 13, 1976.
