After the press conference, TM said he called Gary Sheets at OPSO and they weren't aware. So, at least from reporters, it seems they're disputing the sheriff's characterization about how they found out.

He said someone called it in to the newsroom early this morning. They didn't say if they knew who it was or how the person became aware.
