Farrance was a patriotic American with the utmost respect for the police, a member of the National Rifle Association and a physical fitness buff who took care of his body, colleagues say. In his death, however, friends and family say he was falsely identified as a possible drug user or dealer. And they say they're outraged that this longtime editor with a solid reputation as a scrupulous fact-checker was tarred by the police, and subsequently the news media, in what they feel was an erroneous rush to judgment."
