Yeah, the source is the undercover cop who bought the drugs. Its outlined in the arrest report (posted upthread and in the media thread). I was also struck by the part about CB's demeanor.
ETA: Here is the arrest report

So heartbreaking little Lonzie still has been found and these scumbags were carrying on with life as if he never even existed. I am relieved to hear they are now off the streets and where they belong. Let's just hope LE have some good solid evidence against these creeps to keep them in prison for a long time to come. Poor little Lonzie, I fear he may have suffered many times in his short life at the hands of his own mother. So disgusting. RIP sweet, innocent, little one. No one can harm you any more. If it hadn't been stated so strongly by LE they believe Lonzie is deceased, I would have guessed LL sold or exchanged her baby boy for money or drugs. Those seem to be the most important things in her life, not the love of a innocent baby. JMO.
It may be peanuts to some but according to this video, the reporter said it was a criminal informant who met with the three charged in the motel room, not an undercover cop. There is a huge difference between the two IMO. HTH.

Undercover work may involve one or more of: informants, who are usually suspects who have "flipped" and are exchanging information for consideration in terms of charges or at sentencing; paid agents, who are insiders receiving cash for information; or, undercover officers, who are police officers trying to infiltrate criminal organizations or obtain information about their operations.

Criminal Informant
Quite frequently, confidential informants (or criminal informants) will provide information in order to obtain lenient treatment for themselves and provide information, over an extended period of time, in return for money or for police to overlook their own criminal activities. Quite often, someone will become an informant following their arrest.
