- When authorities from the United States (U.S.) began scouring the globe looking for the location of Osama bin Laden following the September 11 attacks in 2001, there were a number of alleged sightings of Bin Laden in the U.S. Although some scholars believe that bin Laden took his new wife to visit the cities of Indianapolis and Los Angeles in 1978, all later suggestions of bin Laden entering the U.S. were typically treated by authorities with skepticism, but were followed up at least cursorily. In actuality, although many analysts believed he was hiding in Pakistan, there were no confirmed sightings of bin Laden from December 2001 to May 2011. Lt. Charles Illsley of the West Valley City Police said that "When, day after day, media reports focus on a single person like Bundy or bin Laden, it is not too big a leap for somebody to go outside and think they see him. Images stick." All of these sightings were dismissed when bin Laden was confirmed dead after a U.S. raid in Pakistan on May 1, 2011. (en)
