Here’s an example, though it’s weird that a “journalist” would include the below sentence without mentioning the mystery passenger elsewhere in the article. The author also brushes over the fact that the husband was with her in the Uber, to me the centerpiece of the story, as if that’s not important.
“It is unclear why her husband, Michael, and the other passenger in the Uber were not with her when she was struck on the highway.”
It’s all very strange. Hard to know if it’s just really lousy reporting, or something else going on.
