Trexler interview in Cleveland Scene

The Cleveland Scene magazine has an interesting interview of former BJ crime and courts reporter Phil Trexler.

After 16 years at 44 E. Exchange Street, Phil is executive producer with Tom Meyer’s investigative team at WKYC-Channel 3 in Cleveland. He began the Cleveland TV gig on May 4.

Best quote from Phil: “My goal is to be a reporter and I’m doing that here” at WKYC.

Trexler is no stranger to television. He discussed the Painesville murder case on CNN’s “Nancy Grace Show.” Kevin Knoefel, 43, was convicted of guilty having sex with his foster daughter, Sabina Zunich, and convincing her to kill his wife, Lisa Knoefel, for nearly $785,000 in insurance money while Knoefel was elsewhere.

Phil also keeps busy writing books about baseball, such as “Ballparks, Yesterday & Today” and “Cleveland Indians, Yesterday and Today.”
