Jim Milchick is an 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. Daria sent an email request to Jim Milchick on Monday, November 12th to pursue publishing a story about the Lexington Letter, but was unfortunately denied by Jim, who was apprehensive that the Lexington Letter appeared to be the writings of a “disgruntled employee making stuff up”.

Jim Milchick wrote to Daria that he placed a call to a trusted source at Lumon. Said source conveyed to Jim that 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, a writer for obituaries of the Topeka Star shortly notified Jim that Margaret “Peg” Kincaid had recently passed away from a car accident on Sunday, November 11th in Tacoma, WA.
