This story began with a teenage boy's death. Kenny Suttner shot and killed himself after being bullied at work and school. In a unique turn, the coroner changed his official cause and manner of death from a suicide by gunshot - to a homicide by bullying. I worked with two students on a three-part series on the responsibility of schools and workplaces to prevent bullying. Tragically, while working on one story with a mother concerned about her daughter's treatment at school, her daughter took her own life. Her death became yet another example in our reports of the widespread issue of bullying in schools and the destructive consequences. I built an accompanying interactive site to showcase the stories and more information about the issue.

I produced, edited and anchored this Target 8 Year in Review special highlighting the work of the investigative team in 2016. We uncovered consumer issues like customers not getting what they paid for from a local business operating without a license, found multiple sex offenders living too close to schools and discovered a public school project that didn't go out to bid as legally required.

This year in review special includes some of the best work of the Target 8 team in 2015. Stories included uncovering school cafeterias not being inspected as often as recommended, a shortage in ICU nurses at a local hospital, problems arising from lawmaker emails not being included in the open records laws and conflicting accounts over who was talking about the St. Louis Rams relocating to L.A.
