Residential school deniers tried to dig up suspected unmarked grave sites at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School, not believing a May 2021 announcement from the Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc that as many as 215 Indigenous children had been buried there, according to a new report.

You're right about using "suspected" too often, but this type of denialism isn't caused by that. Strengthened perhaps, but these types would always find excuses to deny

Yes, there will always be extremist denialists, but there will also always be those swayed by actual physical evidence. I think the latter is where our focus should be.
