I took him to say they have no evidence their were friends in high school and that seems like it would be easy to determine.
Has any students from their high school spoken to the press about them being friends in high school? If so I havent seen it. In fact the articles I have read about HS students commenting I had already noticed there was no mention of them being friends at all.
IMO
Well, People magazine refers to Woodward as Bernstein's "high school friend," but of course they could be wrong. Other main stream media reports have said that they "knew each other" in high school. I'm sure we'll hear more about this in the future.

"During a press conference Friday evening, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department named Bernstein’s high school friend Samuel Lincoln Woodward, 20, as the suspect in the case."
