The Worst Part of the Job
We had a murder and a plane crash today. The plane crash wasn't that big of a deal. The pilot is going to be fine.
The murder on the other hand is very strange. A pregnant, 23-year-old woman, found dead in a truck from a gunshot to the head. A man found her, after hearing the truck crash in front of his house. How did she manage to drive after being shot in the head with a shot gun? The killer is still on the loose.
I had to make a phone call to the family. That is the worst thing you'll ever do as a reporter. Picking up that phone and calling someone who's just lost a loved one. You never know what the reaction will be. Some people want to talk. I think it must be like therapy for them. They just want to get it out. Others are very offended by your calling. I understand both sides. I hate having to call at all.
