His reporting uncovered political corruption and three decades of organized crime in Las Vegas. He broke the story on the mass shooting in Las Vegas that killed more than 60 people and left hundreds more wounded in 2017. He also wrote a true-crime novel about a mob connection in this area. He also broke the story in 1998 of Ted Binion’s murder. He was also a CNN analyst for the Binion story.
