Jon, why would you expect the guy to share information with you? Unless he's already done so and you've set up a trust fund for him that lasts 200 years, he has no reason to.

I used to live in the Seattle area and I can tell you that the story is ridiculous. There is just NO WAY 12 people would ever go swimming in that cold nasty water.

I was sort of wondering if there was a glitch in their software, that it picked up a story from a Supermaket Tabloid newspaper. |

It appears to be quite deliberate, as they've also got stories from the Inquirer and Star. |

Some of them are real newspapers, they just report on things that the regular newpapers do not report on. That is why they call them gossip sheets.
Others just make up stories and are fiction, usually to be funny or for entertainment. It is pretty easy to tell the difference between the two. But there are a few of them out there that try to pass lies off as truth. | |
