Crime

I have some good news that sadly borders on the almost unbelievable. There's data that shows that the crime rate in Illinois is not only drastically falling, but actually below the national average. Can this miraculous news really be true? Let's dig for facts.

If you've watched enough police shows on TV, you likely know that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. But, there are some notorious fugitives in Missouri that are more wanted than others. These 7 are still on the run and US Marshals would appreciate any help they can get to apprehend all of them.

I am genuinely surprised. If you had told me that the most dangerous city in Illinois wasn't Chicago, I would have guessed it would have been a different place than the actual #1 most perilous place you can live in the Land of Lincoln.

This is a dangerous situation and I'm not making light of it, but I have to wonder what the argument was that led to a Missouri woman allegedly driving miles down the highway with her husband on the hood of her vehicle.

I don't know if he planned to run to the border, but a St. Louis, Missouri man allegedly did something very unusual. He stole a taco that wasn't his and he used (allegedly) a BB gun to do it.

A rash of thefts in numerous stores has led Target to announce it will be closing 9 different stores in 4 different states. The good news is that it does not appear that Illinois locations are affected - yet.

It's one of the most common ways to get ripped off, but also easy to avoid if you know what to look for. Next time you're gassing up your vehicle in Missouri, here are some signs you can look for that indicate a card skimmer is gonna try to rip you off.

Before I found the statistics, I had a perception of where I thought you'd be most likely to have your vehicle stolen in Missouri. I was very wrong and there's a good chance that the city in the Show Me State you think would have the highest percentage of vehicle thefts is not where you think, too.

The crime rates for this city in Missouri are staggering. Imagine a place that's relatively small yet has a higher violent crime rate than even New York City. It's sadly true and just so you know, it's not St. Louis or Kansas City.

The Missouri Highway Patrol has issued a bulletin Thursday night alerting the public that an officer had been shot during an investigation in Troy, Missouri and a suspect was on the run.
