S.F. Chronicle article , Fri, Oct 17, 1969 by Keith Power.

Maybe also read this thread;

Unfortunately, the rather preposterous suggestion is made in there that a reporter stole
Paul Stine’s cab waybill (record of past and current fare journeys) from the cab. A simpler
explanation is that a newspaper reporter made calls and talked to people at S.F.P.D. or
Yellow Cab company, and they told a reporter what the last journey on that waybill was,
subsequently Keith Power bylined that article.
We’ve become recently aware that there’s a probability that Leroy Sweet, Assistant traffic
manager of Yellow Cab, was actually on site that night after the murder,

so detectives may have, at that time or in later days, shown and discussed the waybill with
Leroy Sweet or other people at the Yellow Cab company – so possibly that information may
have ended up being later leaked to a reporter at the S.F. Chronicle by someone from
S.F.P.D. or the Yellow Cab company.

Thanks Buyerninety.

I see. It’s sort of like an accepted, historical answer.

Of course it may be true, and a reporter calling and getting that info is the most reasonable answer.

But I’ve dealt with journalists and editors myself, and it’s not only possible, but common, that they change actual content, actual facts.
It’s really alarming to write an essay and get it back and find that content has changed.
Journalists, too often, see themselves as needing to "pull in" a reader.
This is an unfortunate consequence of how capitalism has destroyed journalism.
You may say they were not good at their job, but that’s not the issue. The issue is that it does happen more than we like to think.
Not only that, but throw police in the mix?
