Panhandle Scanner News

Five years and still no answers, and very little information released to the public. Where IS this investigation? Is it a Missing Persons case, or is it indeed like investigators told his mother, 'no longer a missing persons case'. We feel it's time for a Grand Jury Investigation. Further broadcasts on this subject will appear. Meanwhile, listen in to what led us to this decision. We have a long road to haul together with the 50,000+ people that want answers. Will YOU be willing to join the cause when called upon? #grandjury #citizenledgrandjury #justiceforchance https://www.justiceforchance.org (coming soon, if not already there)

If you're listening to the scanner tonight, you can hear there's a lot of crazy stuff going on. First of all, we have the assault victim now in Minatare on Avenue B. The NSP responded to the situation. Eye-witnesses are telling us they're hearing lots of sirens there, but they have the situation under control. It started out as a drunk disturbance at a house that they are familiar with. There was another call at the same time that came in. A female at the steel grill that was feeling very ill that needed to rescue. With the incident at McDonald's yesterday with the gas leak, we always want to be careful when it comes to situations like that. We're hoping and praying that everything is going to turn out okay there. That's just a quick update from the Panhandle Scanner.  Thanks again for listening. I'm Brian Hale.
