State Repository Case: The Hidden Truth
Verified State Repository Results When verification was completed through proper state repository channels with full access:
Kansas State Criminal Record Status: Record Found — NOT REPORTABLE Case Date: January 14, 2002
Offense: Murder Plea: Guilty
Same Applicant Jeffrey L. Thompson
Critical Issue: Kansas is one of the states with time-based reporting restrictions. Despite the severity of the conviction (murder with a guilty plea), the record could not be reported due to state limitations on how far back criminal records can be disclosed in employment screening.
This case demonstrates how state reporting restrictions can prevent disclosure of even the most serious violent felonies when they fall outside the allowable reporting window—creating significant risk for employers who rely solely on standard background screening reports.
