LAS VEGAS — Hours before Las Vegas Review-Journal investigative reporter Jeff German was killed, then-Clark County Public Administrator Robert Telles was told that the county was preparing to release copies of his emails to the news organization.
According to copies of search warrants released to the Review-Journal on Thursday by Clark County District Court, homicide detectives investigating German’s death interviewed Roberta Lee-Kennett on Sept. 7, the day Telles was arrested on a murder charge.
German previously had reported on Telles’ conduct and allegations that he was having an “inappropriate relationship” with Lee-Kennett. The reporter was working on a possible follow-up story about Telles before he was killed on Sept. 2.
