CBSN
When investigative reporter Jeff German was murdered in Las Vegas, there was an extraordinary twist. Police made the shocking arrest of a sitting public official who had been accused of wrongdoing in reports written by German.
The staff at the Las Vegas Review-Journal, where German worked, covered the huge story while grieving the loss of one of their coworkers.
"Sheriff tells me, 'Jeff's dead.' And it's just a punch in the face," said executive editor Glenn Cook. "As distraught as I am, I'm not even remotely considering the possibility he had been murdered."
