It looks to me like reguritated info from the document dumps. Most people would not take the time to read all of those documents to have seen the info released in those emails.
I can also tell you from personal experience that not every crime story in People or elsewhere cooperated, wanted coverage, or was paid. My MIL's death was in there and it was photos that were already published elsewhere and pieced together info from the newspapers. We did not cooperate, did not want coverage, and certainly didn't get paid. They do not need your permission.
The first article in people, that one I will say Cindy got paid for because it had exclusive photos. This one just seems pieced together from already released info. I wouldn't convict Rick of profiting just yet.
