Have you ever wondered what it takes to incinerate drugs? Hint: It's not exactly a walk in the park! Dig into the world of drug disposal with me in part 4 of The Weight of Evidence on @KBIA:

The Weight of Evidence Part Three is out now! In this installment, I took a trip to @SLULAW to learn what Missouri laws say about drug evidence disposal.

[Anna Spidel @SpidelAnna]

Part Two looks deeper into the process of evidence handling and disposal - why it matters, how large agencies do it, and what can happen when it's not done safely.

What do law enforcement agencies do with the drugs they sieze?

My new investigative series "The Weight of Evidence" on @KBIA dives deep into this question - starting with an incident where drug evidence turned up in a dumpster.

Parts 1+2 out now!

[Anna Spidel @SpidelAnna]

In Part One, we take a trip to where our story begins - a small town of roughly 2800 people in North Central Missouri called Fayette.

Being a journalist is just contacting one agency and then getting referred to a different agency, who you then contact only to be referred back to the first agency that told you to contact the second one 😃👍

Doing my journalist duty today and informing everyone on my 3 hour delayed flight about their legal right to be compensated instead of having a violent meltdown and screaming at an innocent desk agent
