Unnamed sources are more common than named ones. No one is risking a case being thrown out. Cases don't get thrown out because someone leaked information before the case was even solved. This is the way the news is written. Go to any news site now and read the crime pages, you'll see.

As for cops, I have, or had, a lot of friends who were cops. They love to talk about their work. I had a homocide detective who told me stories that would give you nightmares. There's one about Henry Lee Lucas and Odis Toole that almost made me support the death penalty. He told me about finding a raped and murdered ten year old once... It's just not unusual. Some of these friends were telling me stuff about active cases that I know they weren't allowed to tell. They do it all the time. They're just regular people. And anyway, the unnammed sources could have been file clerks, for all you know.
