Ex-official cites multiple missed chances in Evan Brewer case
Former Kansas DCF deputy director Dianne Keech says the agency ignored a critical incident report about Evan Brewer, a 3-year-old Wichita boy found dead in concrete. Keech notes six abuse reports between 2016 and 2017, failures to gather information, and a six day hold before actions were taken, while Evan’s mother Miranda Miller and live-in boyfriend Stephen Bodine face murder charges.
