Recast and reclaimed: A stolen Jackie Robinson statue’s return to Wichita

Surveillance footage captured an unfathomable winter morning crime that shook Wichita, Kansas and the country, leaving more questions than answers: Who would steal a statue of Jackie Robinson, the barrier-breaking hall of famer?
