Thanks for the personal reply. It is true that a police investigation occurred regarding Ball. It is also true that "damage control" occurred regarding Adams.

You deserve credit for putting "unsubstantiated" right there in the subhead and twice in the story. I didn't feel like storm clouds were darkening the page as we were treated to A Night on Bald Mountain.

But it was a closed investigation that not only found no evidence for the rumor but more than likely disproved the rumor. I don't know whether most journalists would find it newsworthy to then tell everyone about the rumor and its lack of substantiation.
