Maybe not a lie per se, just a failed attempt at mental telepathy.
My wife was a reporter for 20 years or so.
I believe that they did make an attempt to contact the person if that is what they said.
But, I have witnessed my wife track people down who could not be reached. If the reporter REALLY wants to get a comment...they will get hold of the person.

Chances are good that it's 99% of the time.
