After reading a Wall Street Journal article about the Southern Ute Tribe of Colorado, a Houston businessman thought he may have found the expensive diamond bracelet his wife lost in the area.

The article described tribal elder Annabelle Eagle, 79, as wearing a diamond bracelet. But it turns out the item was a knock-off that her son bought at Wal-Mart for 99 cents.
