you can do a date-limited search and see if the story was picked up by any other newspapers; the site is here. Genealogybank (pay site) also has archives of some newspapers that newspapers.com does not (that was the only place I could find the Washington Evening Star, which was the major newspaper of Washington DC before the Post).
