This story took many months and the dogged work of dozens of reporters. I’m so glad to have been a part of it. Whether it was filing foias or fielding early morning calls from an Idaho sheriff, I learned so much. Congrats to all of the reporters from The Howard Center for Investigative Journalism and The Associated Press!
