Holy crap. If that theory is correct, the "anonymous tip" was to give the newspaper a reason to pull up everything they could find on Newell, and then make this digging look like identity theft. They may have even committed actual identity theft as part of this plan, hoping to pin the crime on the journalists at the paper. If Newell is not playing a role in this, they could have been trying to destroy two careers with one stone and winded up pitting these parties against each other.
That's a shitload of speculation.
I didn't pass it off as anything else, not sure what your point is. The comment section is to discuss thoughts and ideas on the article. It's a theory regarding why an entire police force could have come after a newspaper with what appear to be illegal and extreme tactics that resulted in the traumatization and death of its co-owner. Good thing this is being investigated so we can find out if something so immoral was behind their actions.
