Police search county official’s home in connection with reporter’s killing

Authorities served search warrants Wednesday morning in connection with the slaying of Las Vegas Review-Journal investigative reporter Jeff German, Las Vegas police said. Around 7 a.m., reporters observed uniformed officers and police vehicles outside the home of Clark County Public Administrator Robert Telles, who had been the focus of recent reporting by German. Authorities also had taped off a section around Telles’ home.

German spent months reporting on the turmoil surrounding Robert Telles’ oversight of the office. The 45-year-old Democrat lost his re-election bid in June’s primary after German’s findings were published. German also had recently filed public records requests for emails and text messages between Telles and three other county officials: Assistant Public Administrator Rita Reid, estate coordinator Roberta Lee-Kennett and consultant Michael Murphy. Lee-Kennett was identified in previous stories as a subordinate staffer allegedly involved in an “inappropriate relationship” with Telles. German, 69, was found dead outside his northwest Las Vegas home on Sept. 3, the Metropolitan Police Department reported. Officials believe he was fatally stabbed during an altercation the day before. *** Two pieces of surveillance footage in the investigation have been made public.

The first shows an unidentified suspect wearing a wide straw hat, gloves and a bright orange long-sleeved shirt. The other captures a vehicle police say was tied to the suspect: a 2007 to 2014 red or maroon GMC Yukon Denali with chrome handles and a sunroof. Hours after the vehicle’s image was released on Tuesday, Review-Journal reporters spotted Telles in the driveway of his home with a vehicle matching that description. They also observed the vehicle at his home Wednesday morning. ***

I used to follow German. He has a long history in Las Vegas, and has reported on the mob and wrote this book on the death of Ted Binion.

Ted Binion is another poor soul who was just too high strung.

Telles must be lower on the Democrat food chain.

Otherwise, he would have been able to have Democrat national Legal operatives at the Department of Justice and Democrat state Legal operatives charge Jeff German with "felonies", kind of like they're doing with Steve Bannon.

Instead, Telles himself had to get his hands dirty, doing what the DemoNazi Party really wants to do to its enemies.

Come to think of it, Joe #PedoHitler's "Kill Magats!!" speech was on last Thursday, and Jeff German was killed on Saturday.

Perhaps Biden incited this murder.

Binion was no daisy. The strain was more than he could bear.

That's putting it mildly. Didn't his Friendgirl and her side piece conspire to poison him? IIRC, the boyfriend had just constructed an underground vault in which Binion stored his huge collection of silver dollars.

Yeah once his wife’s boyfriend heard about all that silver buried out in the desert, why, Teddy’s luck really took a turn for the worse.

In 2017, German broke news that the Mandalay Bay mass shooter targeted jet fuel tanks before spraying bullets from his hotel room on a country music festival crowd on the Las Vegas Strip, killing dozens of people, according to the Review-Journal.

Times change. In the old days the body wouldn’t be found.

Global warming. Lake Meade does not have enough water in it to hide a body.
