Time clock starts now. In a town where answers vanish faster than hydrant pressure, The Falmouth Whisper isn’t waiting around for polite responses or staged PR smiles. We filed a series of official Open Records Requests tonight and we’re letting you, the public, know exactly what we’re asking for. No secrets. No red tape games. Just raw accountability.
You ready?
THE WHISPER RECORDS BLITZ — WEEK ONE:
THE BEDFORD HOUSE INCIDENT
Full 911 Call
CAD Report #2025-148791
Body cam and all police footage involving Officer Brody Schmeing
Reported victim: Chris Webber
They thought this would disappear into silence. We disagree.
HYDRANT MAINTENANCE RECORDS (2000–Present)
Complete documentation of repairs, inspections, replacements, failures
Service logs, maintenance schedules, and cost breakdowns
Two decades of water pressure lies. Let’s crack the pipe open.
ALL MENTIONS OF “The Falmouth Whisper”
Every email, text, memo, or pigeon note that mentions us by name
Who’s talking? Who’s scheming? Who’s scared?
We’re not just in their heads, we’re probably in their inbox.
CITY HALL FOOTAGE
Security footage from the Mayor’s office and surrounding halls
Timeframe: during and around the “THC incident”
Because if the smoke alarms aren’t working, the cameras better be.
ALL OPEN RECORDS REQUEST SINCE 2020
We want a full list of every ORR made since 2020
Names, subjects, outcomes
We want to know who else is poking around and what the city tried to bury.
FALMOUTH FIRE INCIDENT REPORTS
All structural fire calls from 2009 to now
Note if a hydrant in the area was broken or malfunctioning
If someone’s home burned and the water failed, this matters.
WATER INFRASTRUCTURE REPORTS FROM THE WATER COMPANY
All documents related to underground lines, maintenance, breaks, and replacement schedules connected to fire hydrants
Because we’re tired of hearing “not our department” when people’s lives are at stake.
OFFICER PERSONAL JACKETS
For Officer Brody Schmeing and Police Chief Marty Hart
Full employment history, discipline records, complaints, commendations
If these are the men protecting the city, let’s see the receipts.
WHY THIS MATTERS:
Because it’s your tax money. Your safety. Your truth.
Because when journalists get targeted instead of criminals, we go louder and we do it in public.
Because if the city wants to play hardball, we brought a damn sledgehammer.
THE COUNTDOWN STARTS NOW:
Under Kentucky law, they’ve got 7 business days to respond.
We’ll report who answers, who hides, and who suddenly develops amnesia.
This isn’t a witch hunt. This is accountability.
You’re either with the truth or hiding from it.
Stay tuned.
We’re just getting warmed up. We are also happy to break down those request into eatable junks if they need it.
