YOUR STORIES“The biggest scoop I've landed was through
MySpace - A graduate, then moved to Kansas for school, went missing and her sister posted a bulletin about it. I was able to interview her and pick up the Kansas TV news coverage of the story to break it in our market. Turns out the girl was brutally murdered. We followed
the story from her going missing to the conviction and sentencing of the murderer.”
