No. That was the cabinets that people found suspicious and very loosely connected them to that being a possibility.... But no one provided a single shred of actual tangible evidence.

wayfair cabinets.

The same cabinet would have many listings on wayfair, with just variations on the name, which would usually be the first or last name of missing children. and on these the price would be crazy like $20K, where the 'original' listing would be on the order of 100$. if you checkout with the crazy-price cabinets, names of missing children would autopopulate the checkout form. the counter argument was that these crazy-price listings were gaming the search algorithm, causing the 'original' listing to rise in prominence, but i dont buy that.

ellen did something similar with pillows.
