I consider myself a lucky reporter when I get to do light feature stories. I’m usually assigned to murder, mayhem, scams or schemes. It’s always been that way. But not today. My story was entitled, Lost Camera Mystery, and it took me to the home of Larry and Jane Conklin of Travelers Rest.
I’ll save the nuts & bolts of this story for WYFF4.com. In short, the Conklins found a mystery camera in their luggage after returning from a trip. After excellent sleuth work, they traced it to a man in Winston-Salem, North Carolina who is none other than former USC basketball star Danny Traylor.
Conklin found Traylor with help from a television station in Winston-Salem that agreed to broadcast his picture. A local viewer identified the “7 foot tall” man as his daughter’s school teacher.
I’d love to do more stories just like this one.
