Nebraska judges in 18 counties entrusted a for-profit guardian to manage the finances of dozens of vulnerable adults.
Most judges left her in power for more than a month after she was charged with theft abuse.
My first story for @flatwaterfreep:

In early December, @flatwaterfreep reported on a disturbing problem: millions promised to domestic violence providers by the state hadn’t been released. Today, state leaders say the money will finally be distributed: flatwaterfreepress.org/after…

Why does this matter? 2025 was a deadly year for domestic violence in Nebraska — dozens lost their lives, and providers shouldered heavier burdens with fewer resources: flatwaterfreepress.org/gunne…

In April 2024, a teenage worker died on an industrial hog farm, one of nearly 100 run by the family of Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen. The coroner’s office and the federal workplace safety agency investigated but did not determine a cause of death.

New at Flatwater: A Lincoln Diocese parishioner alleged misconduct by a priest. The diocese barred the priest from being alone with kids. But church officials have never publicized the allegations or looked for other victims, the priest’s accuser says. 🔗 buff.ly/MKT6z5G

New at Flatwater: Nebraska lawmakers earmarked millions to help domestic violence survivors and pilot a new juvenile justice program. There’s not enough money in the account to go around. 🔗 buff.ly/AlWr51J

With general funds in short supply, NE lawmakers turned to a little-known cash fund to support things like domestic violence services and postpartum nurse visits. But that fund is now stretched too thin — and the money may never come: flatwaterfreepress.org/nebra…

New at FFP: When Lincoln Public Schools’ superintendent stepped aside in December, the district kept paying him through June to act as an on-call adviser. But records indicate he wasn’t asked to do any work. 🔗 buff.ly/yHovZnp

This story is largely based on records we aren’t allowed to copy. It meant days in a Tecumseh courthouse, sifting through documents, 90 pages of notes, bringing a talented illustrator to make sure readers can feel the full impact of the documents they’ll likely never see.

The prison in Tecumseh had long been a tinderbox when inmates started fires in their cells in 2023. This time, an inmate died. Months later, so did a deputy warden facing discipline. An investigation by the @flatwaterfreep and @JournalStarNews 🔗 buff.ly/GlaKC78

A few months ago, I reported that Lincoln landlords were mulling a 2-pronged approach to challenging the city’s SOI protections. Last week, they took the first step by filing a lawsuit alleging the protections are unconstitutional. Catch up here: flatwaterfreepress.org/landl…

One landlord in the lawsuit alleges they’ve already had a complaint filed against them for SOI discrimination. @andrewwegley has a story on the suit, and advocates’ response: journalstar.com/news/state-r…

He helped the Feds bust up a huge human trafficking ring.
They arrested him anyway. Now he’s likely to be deported.
An important one from FFP’s Jeremy Turley and Emily Wolf, complete with a jailhouse interview.

Eudis Cuéllar Martinez came to the U.S. to build a better life for his family in Venezuela. When police started asking questions about his employer — now criminally charged for labor trafficking — he answered. Then ICE came knocking. W/ @jeremyjturley : flatwaterfreepress.org/he-ai…

This was a tricky story to report. It included a roadtrip to Sioux City, where we spoke to Cuéllar Martinez through the jail equivalent of a pay phone. It included myriad messages through a digital jail system that charged 25 cents for each text. And it included translation.

None of this would’ve been possible without the time and resources @flatwaterfreep let us pour into this story. It’s the second in-depth follow up we’ve done since the federal operation targeting trafficking in Omaha hotels. Read the first one here: flatwaterfreepress.org/lawye…
