Marc Conklin’s widow and Rod Turner sue Kansas Bureau of Investigation agent

The widow of a Board of Public Utilities executive and Wyandotte County attorney are suing a Kansas Bureau of Investigation detective for allegedly making statements to a grand jury that linked them to the 1987 murder-for-hire killing of a political boss.

The Kansas City Star reported that Jill Conklin, the widow of ex-BPU chief administrative officer Marc Conklin, and Rod Turner, a former Wyandotte County counselor who did work for the utility, claim that KBI special agent Bill Delaney falsely implicated the two men in the killing of Wyandotte County Democratic Party Chairman Chuck Thompson.
