As the next segment began on the news, a heartbreaking scene unfolded. One of the anchors, Lindsay Liepman, could not hold back her tears as she shared some devastating news. It was something that no broadcaster ever wants to report on.
Appearing on NBC affiliate KCEN 6 News, Liepman's emotions were palpable as she delivered the tragic news of her co-anchor and dear friend's passing. Kris Radcliffe, who had been a part of the TV station for an impressive 22 years, had passed away unexpectedly at the young age of 51. Liepman, who had worked alongside Radcliffe since 2002, was clearly shaken as she shared the news with viewers.
With a heavy heart, Liepman paid tribute to her late colleague, recalling their time together and the fun they had while working on the news together. "This is an incredibly sad day for our KCEN family," she began, her voice trembling with emotion. She apologized to viewers for not being able to hold back her tears, but she couldn't help it. "My co-anchor Kris Radcliffe died unexpectedly, and we received the news today," she shared, her voice cracking.
Liepman went on to describe Radcliffe as a "funny, genuine, and smart" person who she looked forward to working with every single night. She also mentioned how much he loved the community and how he never took his job for granted. "If I had known yesterday was going to be our last newscast together, I would have ignored the cues to wrap from our producers and just laughed a little longer at all of his jokes," Liepman fondly reminisced.
Radcliffe, who is survived by his wife and two daughters, had recently become a grandfather as well. "He always had a new story every time he came into the newsroom about his grandkids," Liepman shared. Overwhelmed with grief, she apologized once again to viewers for not being able to finish the broadcast.
Liepman concluded her tribute to Radcliffe by expressing her gratitude for having the honor of working with him. "This is a true loss for our community, his family, and I know that he touched so many of your lives in a positive way," she said tearfully. As the news continued, KCEN's sister station in Austin took over the telecast while KCEN aired a highlights reel of Radcliffe's career to pay their respects.
Following his untimely death, Radcliffe's wife, Eden, expressed her gratitude for the overwhelming support they received. Liepman's sister, Libby, shared a message from Eden, thanking everyone for their love and support during this difficult time. "She's receiving and reading your texts and posts, but it's simply too difficult to respond at this time," Libby wrote on Eden's behalf.
