Media reports anout the Empire incident being a hoax are unconfirmed by case detectives. Supt Eddie Johnson has contacted @ABC7Chicago to state on the record that we have no evidence to support their reporting and their supposed CPD sources are uninformed and inaccurate. https://t.co/iSO5YFv452

It would be against the instincts of ABC and CBS to go with the hoax story, so I wonder why they trusted their sources?
