Was kind of thinking it would have been connected to one of the bodies Lake Mead coughed up recently that German may have written about at some point. Maybe in the Law and Order version.

The suspect was not only a lousy public servant but terrible at covering up a murder. The media caught up to him at his house and he's wearing a hazmat suit!

And he apparently drove his own car to do the murder and was seen

It’s Vegas. He couldn’t get somebody else to do it?

My first thought of this was "Damn, how tragic. Must've been random, a burglary."

Then I thought, he's an investigative guy. A knife is quiet, other than the yelling (no gunshots). Maybe it was a hit.

But this twist? Damn.

Imagine dozens of investigative reporters - still employed or retired - eager to go through German's files to see what they find, and knowing they have the bandwidth to track down every lead adn kick over as many rocks as they find "interesting."

I always thought an IRE class should have been a requirement for graduation.

Not a navel-gazing piece (like, say, CJR would write) in any way, shape or form.
