I suggest that the reason you didn’t hear about it is that you didn’t care to be informed. I live in a backwaters Canadian town and I knew about this story years and years ago. And it’s not like I do anything special to be informed: I simply scan headlines on a daily basis. The news media didn’t repress the story, you just didn’t look.
