Nope. The story identifying SS came out after the press conference on Friday at which Cathy Lanier identified SS. THe other article you cite does not identify him. I lived this real time. There was an active, very concerned, discussion about who the victims were. As of a few hours after the fire, they had not been identified.
I'm just saying that the people with whom you were actively involved in the discussion, including MSM, may not have been as informed as LE during the first few hours after the fire. Unless of course, LE had a reason to discuss the evolving details of the case with you. If so, nevermind...
