5. As for the url saying one thing and the article saying another, probably both were set up

as incomplete/templates as the story was developing in anticipation of an arrest, but improperly edited prior to publication. In the race to be first to post stories, news orgs often fuck up with their pre-written articles. Every so often a "Famous person X has died" article goes live by mistake.

15. I don't think they've tracked him down yet.

Seems like he’s in hiding or they’d already be speaking to him.

Thank god he was so inept or this could have been much, much worse.
