Cody's departure comes after recently obtained body camera video from the search of the newspaper shows that an officer rifled through a desk drawer of a reporter who was investigating its chief. The video then shows the officer beckoning Cody over to look at the documents he’d found. The AP obtained the body camera video Monday through an open records request.
“This was all about finding out who our sources were,” Bernie Rhodes, the newspaper's attorney, said Monday. The Associated Press obtained copies of the police department's body camera video through an open records request from a Wichita law firm representing Cody in the federal lawsuit. It was filed by Deb Gruver, the Record reporter who'd been looking into Cody's past, who recently left the newspaper.
