Profile of Action Man Glen Loyd in Dallas, Texas
Several years after Glen was hired away from Green Bay by KDFW, the CBS TV affiliate in Dallas, Texas, his old station--WLUK-TV 11 sent a reporter to Texas to see how he was doing. Jan Stager reports.

In 1990, a Green Bay a woman asked Glen Loyd for help after her sister disappeared. After Glen helped her document that her brother-in-law had killed two men before marrying her sister, another reporter at WFRV-TV made invaluable contributions. Patrick Doris discovered that state parole officers had lost track of Ron Rickman after he was released from confinement.
"The detectives told me my reports played a key role in nailing Rickman," says Doris, now a reporter at KGW-TV in Portland, Oregon. "They generated news tips from people who never put two and two together until they saw stories on the air and then remembering some interaction with Richman, a comment about his wife, or asking them to hold on to a gun, for example."
Rickman was arrested for parole violations and made an incriminating admission to a fellow inmate. This led District Attorney John Zakowski to charge Rickman with first degree murder and then successfully prosecute him.
