Award-winning journalist Bob Segall joined Eyewitness News as the chief 13 Investigates reporter in February 2006.  He came to WTHR from WITI, the Fox affiliate in Milwaukee, where his stories significantly impacted local and state laws and earned numerous regional and national awards.  Milwaukee magazine named Bob "Best TV Investigative Reporter" in Milwaukee.

Bob received the prestigious Peabody award for "The Bully Project," a series of investigative stories that spawned an on-going public service campaign benefiting hundreds of thousands of Wisconsin children.  The state senate passed anti-bullying legislation prescribing policies for schools around the state following his reports.

While in Milwaukee, Bob also received nine Emmy awards for his investigations such as  "Roughed Up at Recess," an in-depth profile on playground violence, and "Still Drunk Still Driving," which exposed loopholes in Wisconsin’s drunk driving laws. Bob's first Emmy came in 1997 when he teamed up with his twin brother, Rick, for a feature story on the International Twins Day Festival in Twinsburg, Ohio.

Prior to his stint as investigative reporter, Bob was a general assignment reporter at WITI.  He also worked as a reporter at WJRT in Flint, WZZM in Grand Rapids and WGEM in Quincy, Illinois.  Over the years he has specialized in various beats including education, crime, transportation and the environment.
