The tip got here in 2017 from Alma, Kansas, from a stay-at-home mom. Eileen Umbehr requested whether or not Joe Sexton, a veteran investigative journalist who labored at The New York Instances and ProPublica, needed to know the reality a few double murder in Topeka. Karen Harkness, daughter of a bigtime Topeka businessman, and her boyfriend Mike Sisco, a divorced father of two youngsters, had been murdered on July 7, 2002, in the midst of the evening, and authorities had been satisfied that Sisco’s ex-wife Dana Chandler was the killer. She was arrested, tried, and convicted of first-degree homicide. Sexton, who thought the case was closed, emailed Umbehr again a well mannered “thanks, however no thanks.”
