Every time this urban myth comes up I try to link to evidence so people stop spreading it. But then I spend more time trying to find the actual evidence vs just sites acknowledging it's a myth that I give up and move on. Also, every true crime podcast will use this myth at least once a season.

In a way it fits, though?
