Here's a comment I found in response to this post:

Has anyone else checked out the SHES web address that is shown in these two e-mails on the Wayback Machine? I did, and if I am reading it correctly, the first time that web page was crawled by the Wayback Machine, was on April 6, 2012. From 1996 to that date, the page had never been crawled, and it was not crawled even once for the rest of 2012. It begins to be on January 11, 2013 and continues to be crawled regularly, the last recorded one on July 8, 2015. There are 56 crawls for the page altogether. So where was that webpage before 2012? Was it created to add legitimacy for the event, taken down until a short time before December 14, 2012, and then put back up in January 2013?
Also, on a previous post, someone other there mentioned that this Monte attorney guy got a recent promotion (maybe now head of CT Bar Association--or something like that), and maybe someone who was involved w/the fake funerals (perhaps an embalmer or something) also got a promotion. So, I guess if you do well in helping to pull off these hoaxes, you can get some career advancement out of it.
Interesting. I wonder how the wayback machine works. Does it crawl web sites like spiders do? If so it is possible that the site was configured to be not crawl-able. It is possible to set a web site so that it is not crawl-able by things like search engine sites. They use what is euphemistically called spiders or web crawlers to index web sites into their search engines.
