When Aleisha Goodwin, an estate coordinator at the Clark County Public Administrator’s Office, reached out to Las Vegas Review-Journal investigative reporter Jeff German in March 2022 to describe the problems she and her co-workers said they were experiencing with their boss, she said they were at their breaking point.
“We were desperate,” Goodwin told “48 Hours” correspondent Peter Van Sant in “The Assassination of Jeff German” an all-new “48 Hours” to be broadcast Saturday, Feb. 17 at 10/9c on CBS and streaming on Paramount +.
After German spoke with Goodwin and her colleagues Rita Reid, Jessica Coleman and Noraine Pagdanganan, they were relieved to find out that German would take on their story. “He did something, and he fought for us,” Goodwin said. “And he is 100 percent our hero.”
The women could have never imagined that just five months after meeting him, their hero Jeff German would be dead.
