Was she or wasn't she?

The online version of the Northwest Herald has retracted a portion of its earlier online version of the Kurt Milliman shooting death. A footnote now appears in the online article. This following correction was online at 6:04PM

*A previous version of this article contained incorrect information about a 1999 incident that led to the conviction of ex-Holiday Hills police officer Troy G. Hetz for having sex on the hood of his squad car during a traffic stop. Kimberly Smith was not involved in that incident.

Well, she must have been, because Undersheriff Andy Zinke said so. Here is what reporter Hilary Gowins had to say earlier:

"... Zinke said that Kimberly Smith was the woman in question during a 1999 incident that led to the conviction of ex-Holiday Hills police officer Troy G. Hetz for having sex with Smith on the hood of his squad car durng a traffic stop."

So, if the previous version was incorrect, what part of it was wrong? Did the Northwest Herald make up that part and just happen to include it (not likely)? Because reporters listen carefully and take accurate notes, it's very likely that Zinke said exactly what the reporter published.

Why would Zinke say such a thing? Were things going too fast at the Sheriff's Department yesterday? Sorry, but command officers aren't supposed to make mistakes like that. Some employee in the sheriff's department most likely told Zinke that, although he was with the department in 1999 and could have remembered the case. My guess is somebody's neck is already on the chopping block. Will we ever learn whose?

"Kimberly Smith" is not be an uncommon name. Did anyone try to match dates of birth? When did "this" Kimberly Smith change her name from Holian, a name in McHenry County Circuit Court records with a lot of history, to Smith?

It's interesting that there is no Kimberly Smith in the Circuit Court records for a December 1, 1999 traffic stop.

Let's see; there ought to be a CALEA standard here for MCSD to follow. Was Kimberly Smith (this Kimberly Smith) libeled in the original Northwest Herald article? Is there a lawyer already licking his lips over that "slip"?
