Jim Milchick is the Editor of the The Topeka Star who works with a reporter known as Daria Thorne. In a correspondence between Margaret “Peg” Kincaid and Daria Thorne a document known as the Lexington Letter and Lumon's Employee Handbook was sent to Daria Thorne via Email on Saturday, November 10th. The request to pursue publishing a story about the Lexington Letter was unfortunately denied by Jim Milchick, who was apprehensive that the Lexington Letter appeared to be the writing's of a “disgruntled employee making stuff up”.

Jim Milchick adhered to his due diligence and placed a call to a source he trusted implicitly at Lumon, who conveyed Margaret “Peg” Kincaid was let go because of too many absences. Despite sincerely wanting to help Daria's pursuit in publicizing Peg's story, it was unfortunately too late. Carolyn, the writer of obituaries for the Topeka Star shortly notified Jim that Margaret “Peg” Kincaid had recently passed away from a car accident on November 11th in Tacoma, WA.
