It's not going to be entirely legitimate but there's going to be some eye opening items in there for you I suspect.

Remember when Reddit investigated the Boston Marathon bombing and discovered that it was Sunil Tripathi? And then Mr. Tripathi went missing and his body was discovered several weeks later?

Thank God we have Redditors to break the case.

False. He went missing a month before the bombings:

>Soon after, another redditor named Sunil as a plausible suspect after asserting a resemblance between the suspects in the FBI's pictures and Sunil, who had gone missing a month before the bombings.
