Well, different.  Not very different.  She just didn't have all of the information as *surprise* the police don't tell it to you.  And they didn't until people started to question.

A very teachable moment about searching from your work computer and your computer activities being monitored at a place of work.  On such specious evidence, it seems strange that his former workplace called the police, however...
