I don't know about this story in particular, but such freelancers are often locals who have covered the story from the beginning and hope it will be their ticket to national exposure in print or broadcast. Instead, the best they get is an offer to buy their research. They may not be happy campers, giving them a motive to be less than 100% accurate.
