NOTW reporters ‘hacked, lied and harassed’ for Dowler scoop

News of the World journalists used phone hacking, harassment and lies to secure scoops on missing British schoolgirl Milly Dowler, police reported, detailing a litany of abusive press practices.

In one incident, someone impersonated the teen’s mother and called a potential witness to ask for information about the 13-year-old, who was found dead months later in September 2002.

British police did not specify who made the call.
