Covering the death of 18 year old Emily Egan

One of the things I dread the most in my job is the phone call to the home of a murder victim.

It never gets easier. I cringe at the thought. Even typing those words feels intrusive and abrupt and out of place.

I ignore that it rated a two on a scale of 100 for safety.
That the west side approach is built on a slide.

By David Krough, kgw.com Producer

Made a trip to my hometown this weekend for a family reunion. Just happens to also be the site of the biggest news story in the country right now, the Minneapolis 35W bridge collapse.
