reason
Original custom development: radio_interview. Exact subject: Laurie Prax and Andy Smith. Exact retained stage: reported. A radio interview has no exact event. Do not turn interview publication into investigation, delivered support, hearing/listening, or a statistical assertion not selected in this row. Own-source rationale: The own description reports the interview, preserving the source spelling wtih. Retained limits: No audio listened to, new episode facts, audience effect, individual case or crime date.
These labels describe the available reporting. “Not reported” does not mean a harm did not happen. A theme's stage applies to that statement, not every claim in the article.
practical supportgeneral warningStage: not applicable

Connected reporting
Only direct reviewed connections are shown. Shared wording is weaker evidence than a supported case connection. A connection through a third article does not establish that two reports concern the same case.
No direct connection is recorded. This does not establish that the story is unique.
A page can change after it first appears. Observation dates record when its URL was seen; they do not prove that the wording assessed here was present on every date.
