rtmclaug 43 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Various media outlets have reported that CBS 3 anchor Larry Mendte is under investigation by the FBI for allegedly snooping in the e-mails of former co-anchor Alycia Lane. Larry's personal computer was seized by the FBI. Snooping in another's e-mails w/o their consent is a federal offense, as well as considered an invasion of privacy. I just saw the report on Channel 6 Action News, and I am at a loss for words. I'm stunned. Just when things started to be going so well for KYW-TV again...

Sam Horn 78 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Not saying you're lying, but if "various media outlets" are reporting this, why do you not provide any links? This makes for an interesting story, but I'm not out to do your leg work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angeloventi 0 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 The Federal Bureau of Investigation has time to worry about Larry's computers? Â How about the investigators' time be devoted to building strong federal cases against the drug dealers and gun runners who are ruining our city? Â The FBI has now become the E-Mail Police? No wonder they missed the hijackers getting their aviation training. Â Or are they really hoping that the Alycia bikini pictures show up on his computers, and they need to look at the evidence?

rtmclaug 43 Posted June 1, 2008 Author Share Posted June 1, 2008 Philly.com has reported that Larry showed up for work on Friday, but he didn't appear at 6 or 11. They also said that it's not clear if he will return to work, but his bio is still on the station's website at cbs3.com. That's the latest info that I could find.

rtmclaug 43 Posted June 1, 2008 Author Share Posted June 1, 2008 I'm not sure. I didn't see it, but if I had to guess, I'd say Chris filled in. Either him or Pat, since I've seen Pat fill-in for Chris/Larry a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColumbusNewsFan 217 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Way to go, Larry for giving CBS a reason to fire you and helping the bottom line. We got to give that money to Katie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtmclaug 43 Posted June 1, 2008 Author Share Posted June 1, 2008 KYW Newsradio 1060 has a story about this on their website, kyw1060.com. It doesn't go into much detail, just the basic facts of the story. But, I just checked on cbs3.com, and the story made the main page. His bio hasn't been removed from the "bios" section.

Jess 1110 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 The CBS 3 Statement: Â "Late last week, CBS 3 became aware of an investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office regarding anchor Larry Mendte. CBS 3 is cooperating fully with that office in this matter. Mr. Mendte will not be on CBS 3's broadcasts pending further investigation."

FJ2000 2 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 This is just speculation on my part, but I bet Alycia Lane claimed that he was the one who leaked the bikini photo story. I don't know if the source of the New York Post story was ever identified, but it's quite possible that she alleged that he looked through her emails to find dirt on her.
