BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. — Former Credit Union Times Special Assignments Reporter Carol Anne Burger, age 57, has died from an apparent suicide.
Burger, who shared a home with her former longtime partner Jessica Kalish, was found by police just hours after having learned that Kalish had been murdered. Both cases are currently under investigation.
Known for her investigative reporting, Burger's in-depth series of stories such as the events surrounding the Oklahoma City bombing and the recovery of Federal Employees Credit Union, the campaign to pass the Credit Union Membership Access Act and coverage of consumer financial privacy issues earned her recognition from the Florida Magazine Association and the American Association of Business Press Editors.

A veteran in the credit union movement, Burger also previously did public relations work for NASCUS and the National Association of CUSOs.
At the time of her death Burger was writing for the Huffington Post Web site, contributing to the 'Off the Bus' presidential election campaign coverage.
"Carol Anne was a tenacious reporter and a decent human being," Credit Union Times Editor-in-Chief Sarah Snell Cooke said. "She was passionate about credit unions, scuba diving, and her rescued greyhounds. She will be missed."
