PEDRO COUNTY RESULT County: Kansas City | MO: Jackson, Clay, Platte, Cass, Lafayette, Ray; KS: Wyandotte, Johnson, Leavenworth Generated At: 2026-10-12T11:10:25Z Window Start: 2026-10-11 06:00:00 Window End: 2026-10-12 06:00:00 Coverage Level: moderate Validated incident count: 1 Validated tier count: 1 Provisional tier count: 0 Search Summary: 9 county broad queries, 9 county direct-source queries, 8 alias queries, 5 category passes, 11 candidate pages opened, 2 blocked-source recovery attempts, 1 validated-tier incidents, 0 provisional incidents, and 0 unvalidated leads. A second recovery pass was completed where fewer than three incidents were accepted. Coverage Notes: Every assigned county received state-qualified broad and direct-source checks. All named aliases and required source families were checked. Coverage is moderate; lower-count results reflect the evidence found after the mandatory recovery gate, not an assertion that no other incidents occurred. Known Gaps: - Fewer than three accepted incidents remained after the required second recovery pass; current indexed official/local reporting was limited in several outer counties.
