If you've followed the story of the (probably illegal) small town Kansas police raid on the Marion County Record newspaper, it's owner, publisher, and reporters — it gets worse. The 98 year old owner of the paper died yesterday, the day after the raid on her home.

The Guardian · Kansas newspaper police raid: co-owner dies after becoming ‘stressed beyond her limits’By Ramon Antonio Vargas

Really good interview with Eric Meyer, publisher of the Marion County Record from the Handbasket blog.

"So the backstory that we haven't told, because we don't wanna get in trouble, is that we've been investigating the police chief [Gideon Cody]. When he was named Chief just two months ago, we got an outpouring of calls from his former co-workers making a wide array of allegations against him saying that he was about to be demoted at his previous job and that he retired to avoid demotion and punishment over sexual misconduct charges and other things.”
