In this week’s edition, Richland Source City Editor Carl Hunnell focuses his discussion of U.S. Army MSgt. Matthew Livelsberger, a 2005 Bucyrus High School graduate, who killed himself and blew up a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Las Vegas Trump International Hotel on New Year's Day.

Hunnell is also joined by Executive Producer Zac Hiser, videographer Grant Ritchey and Shelby/North County reporter Hayden Gray to sift through details of the incident, trying to separate fact from conspiracy rumors.
