Ashley Fantz Career, Leaving CNN
Fantz serves as an Investigative Reporter and Writer at Campside Media. Before she joined Campside Media, she worked for CNN as a Reporter for CNN Investigates. She joined CNN in September 2006 and departed in April 2021. Although her profile remains on CNN’s staff website, she says on her social media pages; LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter, that she is a former worker at CNN.
At CNN, she covered a wide range of high-profile stories. In the year 2018, she conducted an investigative series, “Destroyed,” where she exposed the destruction of rape kits and mishandling of rape cases by dozens of law enforcement agencies across the country — many never tested for DNA — in unsolved cases. For the investigation, she earned an Eppy award and was nominated for an Emmy Award. In not less than 400 cases, prosecutions could have been made.
The investigation caused change: several police departments halted destroying rape kits, revised their investigative practices, and launched internal reviews. RAINN, a leading non-profit that is responsible for advocating for sexual violence survivors, developed model legislation that encourages the same action in other nations.
Fantz has reported on a story about a longtime charity leader’s criminal charge in Asheville, North Carolina. The story involved a sex crime that was committed against a teenage girl. The Fantz’s revelations as well as her reporting on the charity leader’s dubious awards eventually led to the man leaving the charity and other organizations stripping him of several honors.
Fantz’s multimedia investigation “The Uncounted” exposed the contemplating and committing suicide of military family members just as veterans and service members are committing suicide as well. This story showed the failure of the military to track their family members’ suicides.
