Lori Hinz Shares Dunseith Declassified background and new show Injustice insights

Host Gary Emineth sits down with investigative journalist Lori Hinz of BEKTV to unpack one of North Dakota's most gripping stories: a Christmas Eve murder in Minot, a survivor who played dead to stay alive, and a media organization now fighting to protect its First Amendment rights. It started with Dunseith Declassified — a series uncovering a web of corruption tied to a small border town, a building full of secrets, and an HSI agent named Daniel Breho, accused of murdering fellow law enforcement officer Nick Van Pelt on Christmas Eve 2023. The sole eyewitness, Jenny Babcock, was shot four times, watched her boyfriend killed in front of her, and survived by playing dead. Now, the story has a new chapter — Injustice. BEKTV was subpoenaed by the prosecuting attorney for unaired interview footage of Jenny Babcock, raising serious First Amendment concerns. The North Dakota Supreme Court recently weighed in, and while the ruling was complex, the bottom line is this: the district court must take a second look before any footage is disclosed — a critical win for press freedom. Lori and Gary break down what the ruling really means, why it matters beyond North Dakota, and how the chilling effect of forcing news organizations to hand over confidential source material could threaten journalism everywhere. Daniel Breho remains in jail awaiting trial, now scheduled for October.
