Reference to the 1980 case where the mother wrongly went to prison on top of losing her child, mostly because her claim was too memeable.

It's also a reference to a Seinfeld episode: https://youtu.be/sYTIGXvc88Y?t=7

And to the band in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Both of which reference the original case, which became a meme because the woman’s claim was seen as so unbelievable.

And then nearly a decade later it was found that she was telling the truth.
