Dilemma

When is artistic license allowed to take over an idea, or a story?
I was told a story about a man who discovered his mother wasn't who he thought she was. She had done atrocious monstrous things, and she passed on not too long ago. The son is a friend of a friend.
I haven't met this man, and apparently she was rather famous, and was supposed to have died after the war.
Do I take it upon myself to tell this story, or should I just let it rest in peace. And if I do that, who's memory am I disgracing by not telling this story? Hers? The son's? Or the people she killed?
