Crime

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.

One of the most cruel killers in American history is now connected to unsolved murders in Missouri. The self-named 'BTK Killer' Dennis Rader is being investigated for several previously unsolved crimes that now include the Show Me State.

You might want to look the other way if you're a Razorbacks fan. There's a new study that says the least safe city in America is no longer in Missouri. Nope. That honor now goes to a small town in Arkansas.

Well, there's bad news about violence in Missouri, but some consolation also. A brand new ranking has Missouri ranked among the most violent states for crimes against persons. The good news? At least Missouri isn't Arkansas.

This is as intense as it gets. New dashcam and bodycam video shows a carjacking suspect from Illinois get captured in Wisconsin.

There are so many ways to look at crime data, but when it comes right down to it the one aspect of life people fear the most is violent crime. If that's the measuring tape alone, there's one Missouri place that surprisingly is ranked as the 3rd most violent in America and it's not St. Louis.

I tend to be naïve and I really would prefer to stay that way. However, the truth must be faced and there's one Missouri town that has sadly become known a one of the most likely places to be raped in America.

Someone (or possibly many some ones) had too much time on their hands and used it to cause extensive damage to a Missouri farmer's corn crop. Your help is needed in helping locate those that are accused of this needless crime.
