Hancock, Lee
As a journalist for the Dallas Morning News, Lee Hancock reported about the Branch Davidian standoff near Waco, Texas from the first day of the siege on February 28, 1993 until the fire on April 19, 1993. She continued to follow the story for the next ten years, including covering the subsequent investigations and trials. Through her sources, Hancock was able to retrieve documents from government agencies and release important information to the public, including the 1999 revelation that pyrotechnic CS gas was used on the last day of the siege before the fire.
