Crime

If you look at the top of the FBI's most wanted list, you'll see a Missouri guy. He's an accused bank robber who's believed to be armed and dangerous and on the run from the law.

I've never seen this Illinois city in such a notorious list, but there are numbers that seem to prove not only that it's a top 7 most violent city in the United States, but even worse than Chicago.

If I said that I had found numbers to show you how likely you are to get murdered in Missouri, you would probably assume that's a bad thing. It really isn't. I'll try to show you that despite the bad rap the Show Me State gets for violent crime, it might not be as bad as you thought.

Have you ever seen something that is stated as a fact that just doesn't sound right? That was my reflex when I saw a new "safest city" named in Missouri and it was a suburb of St. Louis.

A huge brawl broke out at Worlds of Fun in Kansas City, Missouri last weekend involving more than 100 teens according to a report from a law enforcement agency.

A Missouri woman was trying to sell their family home when she learned something shocking. Someone else had already sold it. The home they lived in had been sold right out from under them.

A trucker shared a list of truck stops he's been asked not to stop at by a client. Here is the truck stops he was asked to avoid in Missouri and Illinois.

I am about to stake my claim in a likely very unpopular opinion. I have no doubt you've heard St. Louis included in many articles about "murder capitals" and "most dangerous places", but are they really true? I think I can prove that many of these are wildly unfair and try to paint the Gateway City with far too broad a brush.

I would love 5 minutes alone with all the scammers of the world. I get so many spam calls on my phone every single day. If you live in Missouri, there are 5 area codes in particular that you should absolutely never answer.

If I would have had to guess this, I would have gotten it completely wrong. Did you know that the worst city in Missouri for auto theft isn't Kansas City or St. Louis. It's not Springfield either. No, the most likely place to have your vehicle stolen also happens to be one of the worst in America.
