Statement on coverage of Seth Rich murder investigation
Published May 23, 2017 Fox News
On May 16, a story was posted on the Fox News website on the investigation into the 2016 murder of DNC Staffer Seth Rich. The article was not initially subjected to the high degree of editorial scrutiny we require for all our reporting. Upon appropriate review, the article was found not to meet those standards and has since been removed.
We will continue to investigate this story and will provide updates as warranted.

I'm surprised it took a whole week for them to retract. The investigator changed his story within a day.
For people still into the story, a Seth Rich Reddit account was supposedly discovered, with some posts edited soon after discovery, and a gmail account supposedly linked to Seth was found.

I didn't see the video of the story, only a textual version of it which didn't mention Reddit or Gmail.

Was it said that Mr. Rich's Reddit account was being used after his death?
I made a journal entry about the story, before the retraction. The Fox station in Washington had made an "important clarification".
