Why was the cameraman found guilty of the director’s murder in the desert?

Why did the police suspect the newspaper boy in the case of the old man's murder?

The police suspected the newspaper boy because Tuesday and Wednesday’s newspapers were missing, implying the newspaper boy hadn’t delivered them because the murder likely occurred on one of those days.
