New details outlining what led police to close in on Telles as their prime suspect five days after German, 69, was fatally stabbed outside his home Saturday were revealed at a Thursday news conference.
“Telles was upset about articles being written by German as an investigative journalist that exposed potential wrongdoing,” Las Vegas police Capt. Dori Koren said, adding at the time of the attack, Telles had recently discovered “there was additional reporting that was pending.”
Authorities initially suspected the slaying might have been carried out by a person casing German’s neighborhood “to commit other crimes.” A security camera photo showed the killer carrying a duffel bag and wearing an orange work shirt with reflective stripes, gloves and a wide-brimmed straw hat.
