September 7, 2018 – Angela Kennecke, an investigative reporter for CBS affiliate KELO, chose to share her story about daughter Emily Groth in hopes of raising awareness about the opioid crisis. “Because if just one person hears me, if just one person does one thing to save a life, then I don’t care about a million naysayers or people who don’t understand,” Kennecke said in a special segment that aired on the network Wednesday. “I just care about that one mother that I can stop from experiencing the pain that I have.” In the weeks leading up to Groth’s death on May 16, Kennecke said red flags kept going up about her daughter’s addiction.
