Is there some succinct explanation for why Murray's reporting facilitated 'jigsaw identification' while other reports did not?

I don't want a link to a 50 page court ruling, I want someone to explain it in a couple of sentences. Something like:

Murray did not name Victim X but he specified the occupation of their spouse, the department they worked in, and their level of seniority. Given this information, a simple query of public records would be sufficient to identify this individual.

That is the point: other media reports gave more information about the accusers than Murray's reporting.
