Shreveport Louisiana. Ktal tv, the local nbc affiliate. I was photog for that one so it woulda been summer of 99 or 2000. The reporters name was lane stone. Don't remember the guys name offhand though. Only met him twice. Used to see him in his spot every now and then after the story ran, but never paid that much attention to him afterwards.
The story should still be in their video archive since they kept everything. Hell, they still had stuff from the 60's in the vault. Feel free to bring your snide ass on down and root through the vault for the story all you like. The archives are open to the public.
