At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."

"A police force has issued an apology to the family of a woman found dead at a convicted sex offender's residence, following a watchdog's findings of failings in their initial investigation Kelly Faiers, 61, died at the address of Richard Scatchard, 70, in Minehead, Somerset, on October 15, 2023. Officers attended the property and engaged with Scatchard, who possessed a history of sexual offence convictions in which he administered drugs to his victims."
"An Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) inquiry revealed that despite officers' concerns over Scatchard's conduct and their consideration of an arrest, they were ultimately advised against it by CID. The following day, a decision was made to treat Ms Faiers' death as murder, prompting officers to revisit the address, only to find Scatchard had absconded. His body was later found in a caravan near Cleeve Hill in Watchet on April 4 2024."
A news organisation seeks donations to fund on-the-ground reporting and keep content free of paywalls, citing investigations into reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech. The appeal references probes such as Elon Musk's pro‑Trump PAC and a documentary about American women fighting for reproductive rights.

Officers engaged Scatchard, noted concerns and considered arrest but were advised against it by CID. Scatchard later absconded and his body was found near Watchet on 4 April 2024. Faiers' family lodged multiple complaints.
