Mo Lic Private Investigator & Reporter/Blogger
I am having to believe this is some more bad reporting. Why would only one out of town newspaper be the ONLY one reporting this info? Doesn't make any kind of sense. Isn't this also the same paper that mistakenly stated that he stayed there? No other paper has reported this. Not local. Not national.
As a former news reporter, I can answer this for you with certainty. Many out of town news media rewrite other people's stories and the accuracy suffers. Instead of giving credit to the reporter and their organization, they want to make it look like they got the information. KSPR in Springfield, MO and a TV station in Florida (NBC affiliate) comes to mind in this case most prominently.
