Episode Description

A TV reporter from Kansas City hears about the newspaper raids over in Marion. Her interest is piqued by the fact that the police chief who oversaw the raids had recently left Kansas City PD. So she heads to Marion to see what she can find out. And what she finds…is basically a Bravo reality series, small-town midwestern style. 

Part One of this story aired last week. Listen to it first if you haven’t already.

We’re now on Substack! You can weigh in on what we’re doing at Question Everything – make your pleasure or displeasure known – and really talk to us about our reporting, the stories we’re working on. This week, Brian will share an outtake from the Mystery in Marion series – a moment of police bodycam footage that makes his skin crawl.
