Didn't read your links, but I looked at the dates on them. The article on MS was 2004, The two on SD were 2007 and 2012. Not sure when the image was made, but it might have been true at the time.
Dunno.

A buddy of mine is the person who took this picture, there is much more to her story, but thats for another day. But that is at the Logansport Burger King. She chased him (him on foot) her on buggy-contraption after the photo.
