Susan El Khoury
Investigative Reporter
KMOV
Susan is an investigative reporter known for her relentless pursuit of the truth. Her work has been recognized with multiple regional Emmy awards, a regional Edward R. Murrow award, and a Missouri Broadcasters Association award.
Notably Susan's reporting on a deadly tornado that struck an Amazon warehouse uncovered questions about the building's structural integrity, prompted changes in city building inspections, and led to calls for safety improvements at state and national levels. This, in turn, resulted in the passage of state legislation aimed at enhancing warehouse safety.
Her in-depth reporting on crime and corruption has resulted in changes to city, county, and state policies.
Prior to joining KMOV, Susan was the lead investigative reporter at KARK-TV in Little Rock, Arkansas. Her investigation exposed the increasing use of PIT maneuvers by Arkansas State Police, which sometimes ended in deadly wrecks. Her work received international attention and instigated changes within the department, so the maneuvers now conform with deadly use of force policies.
Susan's career started in Lansing, Michigan, where she was an anchor and reporter at WILX-TV. She holds a bachelor's degree from Boston College's communication honors program and a master's degree in journalism from Northwestern University.
