I'm sorry, I misspoke. The story I posted doesn't contain the information about the little girl pretending she was asleep, but it does show the police changing their initial characterization of what the little sister said, and stating that the little girl hasn't changed her story. But information about her pretending to be asleep and overhearing what was said to her sister came out on the broadcast media locally before this printed story.

Doesn't that strike you as very strange?

What? You mean the media didn't do this all by themselves? Oh my! Yes, the media will report what the police say. And that is where the mischaracterizations came from.
