When Las Vegas Review-Journal investigative reporter Jeff German was murdered in September 2022, he became the ninth U.S. journalist to be murdered in connection with their work in 30 years.

Jeff German, host of “Mobbed Up,” poses with Planet Hollywood, formerly the Aladdin, in the background on the Strip in Las Vegas, Wednesday, June 2, 2021. Authorities say German, a Las Vegas investigative reporter has been stabbed to death outside his home and police are searching for a suspect. The Las Vegas Review-Journal says officers found journalist German dead with stab wounds around 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 3, 2022, after authorities received a 911 call.

His arrest soon after the murder shocked many of German’s colleagues since the articles weren’t among the journalist’s most forceful or impactful. They didn’t expect any serious fallout from what he wrote about Telles, a low-level government official. Kane doesn’t gloss over the negative moments of German’s career, either; he describes some questionable ethical decisions and calls out some of his colleague’s more arrogant moments. “I try and paint the most accurate picture of his life, what happened and what kind of city Las Vegas is away from the Strip, this level of conflict that lived through for 40 years of his life here,” said Kane. “Jeff’s life mirrored a lot of really interesting times in Vegas.

Review-Journal employees recently finished reviewing those gadgets and logging what they consider to be privileged information not relevant to the case; they’re expected to turn over more than 1,000 items to prosecutors.Kane said he and German used to joke to one another about watching their backs after sensitive stories were published. They’d ask the other journalist to investigate and write about it if a source did come after them. It was, Kane said, “gallows humor.
