RG:  "But Tuesday, Eugene police confirmed a new detail that wasn’t mentioned the previous day — the man found was dead." - kinda a big detail to not update. 
                       WHY ARE THERE NO UPDATES FOR SO MANY STORIES? 
rg:  "Attempts to reach Kucinski’s family were not successful. ) - Some how they never are for the RG..even when family members are posting in comments. Sounds rarely that the RG reaches out to anyone in the news - they just repeat some release. if you read carefully, the RG will give the source in kinda a back door way - the source may be at the end of the story. The whole article is quotes from a 3rd party  like the cops, hospital, u of o..
 when they say the party was unavailable, is there more than one phone call?

the RG used to be a much, much  better paper.  there is very little actual reporting these days...
