Steve, as far as I know, the identity of the tipster remains a mystery to this day.
Roger,
I never heard of James A. McDevitt before today. The only reason I know him at all now is because of this link

There is mention of McDevitt giving testimony, which I've never seen. Did he reveal his informant there?
