KBI Cuts Travel and Training Amid Terrorism Work
Kansas Bureau of Investigation aims to curb travel to 1000 miles a month and scale back training while aiding federal leads from the September 11 attacks. Director Larry Welch says focus remains on serious crimes, with about two dozen interviews of foreign men and reviews of terror-related leads. Budget pressures across the state prompt calls to reduce spending, though the governor’s office cautions against harming investigations. The KBI projects a $371,000 cut from a $19.4 million budget, risking reallocations if laboratory funds are not provided. The agency employs 84 agents with 7 vacancies, most based outside Topeka. Highway Patrol plans no travel cuts.

Testimony details killings and suspect statements in Franklin County case
Fuller testifies Hayden entered a mobile home, a head wound was observed on Howard Johnson, and a later exchange included the line We’re old, we’re old. Fuller recounts driving away, fearing arrest, and a claim that a Black man committed the beatings. He faces sentencing in a deal tied to his testimony as prosecutors weigh full versus concurrent time. In cross examination investigators note no extra fingerprints or blood at the Johnson home, though Fuller’s footprint was found inside the trailer. Johnson recalls waking to a intruder and being struck in the head.
