It's another Timmy's lost in the well, thanks, Lassie! kind of story. But at the end of the MSN story in the original post, it states &quot Reporting by Brendan O'Brien in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Dan Whitcomb in Los Angeles; Editing by David Gregorio and Chris Reese)".

If the reporting came from the Beckley WV Register-Herald, I would expect MSN to credit that newspaper. But they gave story credit to a couple of guys thousands of miles away. It just seems weird!
