TV anchor quits after getting death threats

Fox News Deleted The Story!!



An award-winning reporter quit her job at a Denver TV station after being warned of death threats allegedly from a businessman she covered in a story.

Heidi Hemmat, an investigative reporter at KDVR Fox 31, penned a post on her website on Thursday confirming details of her departure from the news station saying she felt her life was in danger.

Hemmat, who has won six Emmy awards, claims to have received 'downright terrifying' threats from a businessman she investigated at length in 2015 over his alleged dumping of customers' documents.

During a four-part investigative story for KDVR, Hemmat literally went dumpster diving to retrieve some of the receipts the owner had allegedly thrown away.

'We're looking at all the receipts you threw away,' she told the business owner when he confronted her and threatened to call the sheriff.

'You probably should. They asked you not to throw these receipts away,' she hit back.

Hemmat's story also covered that the business owner was accused of fraud.

'I worked very hard to expose this guy - and in the end, I paid a very high price. There's a reason why I'm not saying his name - it's because I'm still scared of him,' Hemmat wrote on her website.
