The local paper recently carried a report about a cenotaph cross being vandalised in Fredericton and there was outrage; especially as it was just prior to Remembrance Day. It's now been revealed that it likely fell on its own with no evidence of any vandalism at all.
The same paper just printed a story about how some evil person left a caged dog in the woods to starve to death following a report that someone found a cage with some skeletal remains in it.
It transpired that a naturalist had found the outgoing tide left a stranded porpoise that died and that the local museum was interested in skull or skeleton once insects had stripped it down. The cage protected it from scavengers or predators in the meantime.
Just a couple of examples of how the worst was assumed when there were actually innocent explanations.
