Public pressure builds around embattled Pierce County Sheriff Ed Troyer. What happens now?
Over the past month, Pierce County Sheriff Ed Troyer has amassed misdemeanor criminal charges, increased calls for him to resign, and a scathing report from a former U.S. attorney that found he endangered a civilian’s life.

Death investigation in Washington
Death investigation in Washington
The system used to investigate sudden or unusual deaths in Washington state is a patchwork. Only six counties rely on medical examiners — doctors who are highly trained. The rest rely on elected coroners, who come from a variety of backgrounds. And the problems that result run deep. For months, KNKX’s Kari Plog has been investigating the system in a three-part series, poring over documents and talking to people in the industry and those affected by their work.
