The "conflicting reports" things and changing stories are going to be the mainstay of all events that cause a media feeding frenzy from now on, so get used to it. If that's enough to convince people of conspiracies, then the masses will live in paranoia for the rest of their lives. Twenty-four hour news, social media, blogs, and the thirst to be "first" to scoop a story instead of being accurate are going to lead to information being disseminated in a confusing morass. Knowing how badly the media mangles other types of reporting, I'd be willing to throw a lot of the blame at their feet here.
