Stigmatized former boot camp could be 'light industrial' park

Brady Folkens died in state custody after a botched diagnosis at the now-shuttered STAR Academy on December 21, 2013.
During a public auction Thursday morning at the Custer County Courthouse, the sprawling STAR Academy property south of Custer sold for the minimum bid of $2.34 million. The buyers were a group of investors represented at the auction by real estate agent Jared Carson of Custer. The sale is contingent on the approval of Governor Dennis Daugaard.

After the meeting, Carson said there are plans to turn the campus into an ecologically minded, clean-air light industrial project that will not only provide an opportunity to bring new technology to South Dakota, but also provide a place for economic development in Custer County.

Retired Yankton surgeon Lars Aanning says, "We believe that besides Jeff Haier, the other participants in this cover-up include Denny Kaemingk, head of Corrections, and John Porter, CEO of Avera Health."

Lt. Governor Matt Michels, a former Avera lawyer, and the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation have also been implicated in a conspiracy to hide evidence.
