On 16 May 2017, TheLastLineOfDefense.org published two articles appearing to report that Monica Lewinsky's son, David, had been reported missing in New York, and subsequently found dead in Central Park: These stories are entirely fabricated. We could find no evidence that Lewinsky, who is 43 years old, has a 28-year-old son named David, or a son of any name or age.
