The Associated Press reports:
Oregon's chief medical examiner said Tuesday that an infant born to members of a church that practices faith healing died from complications of prematurity as authorities conducted a criminal investigation into the child's death. The baby, Gennifer, was probably "a couple of months" premature and her lungs were too underdeveloped to allow her to breath unassisted for long, Dr. Karen Gunson, the chief medical examiner, said in a phone interview.
Clackamas County sheriff's investigators will present the case to prosecutors but have not finished interviewing witnesses, Sgt. Brian Jensen told The Associated Press in a phone interview.
She died a few hours after her birth at her grandparents' home on March 5 in Oregon City, where the Followers of Christ Church is based. Her birth was attended by three traditional midwives, family members and other church members, authorities have said. No one called 911 when the baby began to have trouble breathing, Jensen said. A deputy medical examiner responding to a call about Gennifer's death noticed the surviving twin, Evelyn, was also struggling and called law enforcement, who persuaded the parents to get her medical treatment. That baby girl is doing well in the neonatal intensive care unit at Oregon Health & Science University, Gunson said.

Thanks for the insight!
It sure puzzled me a lot, as I did the Google thing, clicked on the link Google gave me, got the story, then copied the link, pasted it to my post, saw the ?stuff, trimmed it off, previewed the post, clicked the link in the preview again just to make sure, got the story again, hit submit, got the story again, and got the nice warm feeling I had done something useful and saved everybody else from having to do the same.
Later, I revisited and saw the post from AC saying he got the map.
How could he? I had carefully checked to make sure I was posting a good link. I always do. I clicked the link in my own post and got the map too.
Yet, I know good and well I had got the story before.
The more I was digging into it, I was really getting the idea I was going crazy. Both the original story and my post had identical links.
It wasn't until I stepped away from it that I realized I had got the story once, using the Google referrer link, and now it was in my cache, and subsequent queries as I checked the validity of my post were coming from my local cache, not the internet.
This combined with your insight now makes perfect sense to explain the magic show I just encountered.
