I haven't seen any hard news acccount of the existence of a tape. The most recent report on Fr is about Sheriff Mees who commented on how there were two reports because they considered and discussed and argued over not making the antisemitic remarks public. Mees sounds like a standup guy, even mentioned Gibson's past efforts to raise money for the police.
If there was a tape, there's no need for debate.
My bet--there is no tape, or it is not definitive.
