Wedding hoax of centenarian lovers born in sly office plot
A staged romance and wedding for John Bundren and Rose McGuire, claimed to be aged over 100, was traced to a St Louis government clerk who fed false invitations and photos to newspapers worldwide. Bundren Jr used fake relatives, beauty contests, and letters to spur a global media sensation before the deception collapsed. Muscatine's Mary Hanlin received a personal expense request from Bundren despite the hoax.
