A Wyandotte County judge is considering whether state records involving the death of a young girl should be released to the public.
Several media outlets have sought the records in the death of Olivia Jansen, 3, whose body was found in a shallow grave in July. They are seeking information on how much contact the state's family and children's agency had with Olivia's family before she died.
In a hearing on Wednesday, Wyandotte County officials argued the investigation into the girl's death would be hindered if the records are released. Judge Michael Russell took the case under advisement and said he hoped to rule within two weeks.
