Got too close to the Lake Mead bodies story?

Lake Mead is too low to accept more bodies in 55 gal drums....

“Las Vegas police said Sunday morning the homicide investigation is a top priority for the department.”

How’s the LV country music shooter investigation going?

Did he do any reporting in or about Washington District of Corruption? Especially between 1993 & 2001? Or between 2009 & 2017? Did he maybe write something positive about President Trump or a MAGA politician?

Just curious.

Maybe one.

I doubt it for anything beyond 1997-2000.

The outfit was pretty well done for by 1990s in Vegas.

But, I guess in the Family Secrets trial they identified about 30 plus murders if I remember-about 20 major member murders. Two being Tony the Ant and his brother Mikey.

So..you never know.

“Anyone got any thoughts on this murder? This guy looks like he had been doing good work for years..”.

I’d say you answered your own question. He sounds like a good journalist that stepped on the wrong toes.

I agree. They need to find out what story he was working on.

Las Vegas investigative reporter and Coast to Coast AM host, George Knapp, will be finding out what happened.

I wonder if he worked on the Las Vegas shooting where the 57 or so people were killed.

Good question. I bet a lot of reporters worked on that case. They might have been told to stand down.

Why “journalists” don’t practice journalism. It can be dangerous if you’re doing it right.

I guess there’s not enough water left to stuff him in a drum and dump him in the lake.

Sounds like he might have made at least one enemy.

Wonder if he said “I’m going to link Biden and Hunter to the biggest scandal since Nixon. I have the evidence at my place.
Thanks, I don’t need a ride. I’ll walk back. It’s nice out tonight.”
