S19 Ep85: The Last Story: The Murder of an Investigative Journalist in Las Vegas w/Arthur Kane
True Crime Tuesday presents: The Last Story: The Murder of an Investigative Journalist in Las Vegas with Journalist/Author, Arthur Kane!
Jeff German, a veteran Las Vegas Review-Journal investigative reporter, was no stranger to controversy or the danger of his work. For more than four decades, he wrote stories relentlessly confronting the mob, corrupt politicians, and greedy bureaucrats. As a result, he was often threatened—enough that he and his friend and fellow investigative reporter, Arthur Kane, sometimes joked about reporting on these threats if they were ever acted upon.
Then, in the spring of 2022, German received a tip about abuses at a little-known county office. His subsequent investigation unearthed a scandalous, sexually incriminating video of a rising politician. The resulting stories in the Review-Journal ended the man’s political aspirations.
Less than six months later, on September 3, German’s lifeless body was discovered outside his home with multiple stab wounds. His dedicated newsroom colleagues, including Kane, vowed to find the killer. In doing so, they exposed the true depths of corruption and malice in Sin City.
On today's TCT, Arthur Kane, the author of "The Last Story..." joins the show to talk about his unique relationship with Jeff, who Jeff German really was, the circumstances that got an extremely tough mob beat reporter killed, and how this reporter even transcended the print game to make his bones in another medium posthumously, winning national awards!
