Earlier in the day, Las Vegas police revealed that Telles’ DNA was found at the crime scene. …

Telles, a Democrat, lost his re-election bid in the June primary after German’s findings were published.

German also had recently filed public records requests for emails and text messages between Telles and three other county officials: Assistant Public Administrator Rita Reid, estate coordinator Roberta Lee-Kennett and consultant Michael Murphy. Lee-Kennett was identified in previous stories as a subordinate staffer allegedly involved in an “inappropriate relationship” with Telles.
