On your second part its a possibility, but its still something that needs to be looked at, you can't discredit something because it doesn't fit into your theory.
If its wild and doesn't fit with the forensics fine, but it has to be looked at as a possible theory.
Just like all of the other statements.

Really, Crime Stoppers? What a terrible example. A tip is still a tip until the police investigate and verify the tip.
An anonymous tip to a radio station is not verified nor is it scrutinized in the same way a tip to crime stoppers is.
As for your last statement, do you really think the police weren't looking at every possible theory and this chick made them investigate another theory that wasn't already being looked at? Of course one of the first theories you investigate is whether he was charging the officer. This lady's theory didn't help anything but fulfil her fantasy and desired air time. If she was being truthful, she would have nothing to hide and especially not call in anonymous to a radio station of all places.
