New insights into the mystery surrounding the Clyde cancer cluster.
The parents of kids who died stepping up to find out what's wrong.
Investigator Scott Taylor is tracking the new information tonight.
One set of families have already
filed a $750 million dollar lawsuit against the Whirlpool Corporation.
Another set of families right here in Clyde just tested their homes and they
tell me, Scott
we found something significant. A group of families have tested
6 homes on their own and have found something significant enough to turn it
over to the EPA.
We've asked to be involved because we want to move the process along
as private citizens we've been denied that right. The families include Warren and
Wendy Brown, parents of Alexa Brown,
and Kole Keller's grandfather, Steve Keller. Both Alexa and Kole
died in the cancer cluster. Bottom line is kids are still getting sick
it'll be six years ago tomorrow that Kole
Joseph Keller passed away. The test results come after a second group of families
filed a lawsuit against Whirlpool after the EPA discovered PCB's
at the company's former outdoor water park.
We want to know why, who
and what caused a "statistical anomaly"
as proffered by the Ohio Department of Health. We want
the truth! The family's are now going to ask the EPA to
come back to Clyde and do more testing in victims homes.
