An anonymous tip to a radio station is not verified nor is it scrutinized in the same way a tip to crime stoppers is.

If she was being truthful, she would have nothing to hide and especially not call in anonymous to a radio station of all places.

I'm not really talking about the police, It just comes across when I read your reaction that your discounting it because of either its source, or because it doesn't fit your theory of what happened. You said yourself that you stopped reading it as soon as you saw the name and that its a radio tip. Is there the possibility that your doing some self filtering?
I don't know if I would be so willing to step forward in a town where there is a ton of violence and rioting going on, especially if my witness statement could be somewhat unpopular. Whichever side my witness statement goes to is probably the wrong side. I would be tempted to phone the press and let them disseminate it.
And what's with your snark towards T99, you seem to take little shots at every poster who goes against you. Its interesting.
