In May of 2005, an anonymous editor added to the article on Siegenthaler in Wikipedia that "For a short time, he was thought to have been directly involved in the Kennedy assassinations of both John, and his brother, Bobby. Nothing was ever proven." This stayed up for four months until Siegenthaler himself saw it and tried to take it down. Siegenthaler published an account of his experience and associated [[Bias in Wikipedia|problems with Wikipedia]] in [[USA Today]].<ref>http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/editorials/2005-11-29-wikipedia-edit_x.htm </ref> Siegenthaler then attempted to identify who had made the edit, but was unsuccessful until Daniel Brandt was able to trace back the IP address to a specific corporation whereupon the perpetrator was identified.<ref>http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2005-12-11-wikipedia-apology_x.htm </ref>
