American journalist
Wayne Thomas Satz (January 10, 1945 – December 24, 1992) was a reporter who first reported on the McMartin preschool trial. His first McMartin broadcast aired on KABC-TV in Los Angeles on February 2, 1984.[1][2]
Satz presented an unchallenged view of the children’s and parents’ claims.[1] During the case, Satz became personally involved when he entered into a romantic relationship with Kee MacFarlane, the social worker at the Children’s Institute International, who was interviewing the children.[1] Satz did not reveal the relationship, and continued reporting the unchallenged claims.
Satz died in 1992, at age 47, from a heart attack due to a deformed valve in his heart.[3] He was found dead in his Studio City, Los Angeles home.[2]
