The man in the surveillance footage has a duffel bag slung over his shoulder and a straw hat shielding his face as he saunters along a Las Vegas sidewalk. It’s late last Friday morning and he’s heading west toward the home of one of the city’s most renowned investigative journalists.
Hours later, authorities responding to a 911 call found Jeff German — a veteran reporter who covered organized crime and political corruption for the Las Vegas Review-Journal — slumped lifeless outside his home. He’d been stabbed to death.
