That’s even grosser. How should the newspaper know or anyone care if a person is female, have they interviewed her doctor or taken a dna sample?

What I meant was I think the writer was quoting the police or other similar department from a press conference. It sounds like police press conference legalese. I don't see it in the article anywhere though so I'm not sure where the quote - if it is a quote - came from.
