Colorado Times Recorder: Five news outlets have quietly removed a years-old news story from their websites about the 2019 arrest of a prominent former Colorado Springs City Council member, who ran in a Republican primary for a state House seat in 2023.

The removal of the stories was discovered after the alleged perpetrator of the crime, Lisa Czelatdko, wrote multiple threatening emails to the Colorado Times Recorder starting about a month ago demanding the removal of a reference to Czelatdko’s arrest in a 2023 CTR story about her primary race against state Rep. Rebecca Keltie (R-CO Springs).

The Colorado Times Recorder did not delete the sentence from our story, as Czelatdko requested. It appears that the other five news outlets removed entire stories about her sometime between the beginning of March 2024 and just after Czelatdko started emailing the Colorado Times Recorder.
