The first chapter of "Tears of a Tiger" doesn't feature a newspaper article, but rather the aftermath of a car crash involving the main characters, Andy and his best friend, Robert. The article you're referring to likely appears later in the book, possibly in a chapter that describes the fallout of the tragedy and the investigation surrounding it.
If you'd like to know more about the events in the book, please tell me which chapter you're referring to, or provide me with some details from the article you remember, and I can help you understand it better.
