Crime

There was a time in my life that I thought I wanted to be a police officer, but I decided I didn't have the heart for it. Perhaps that was a mistake as I've just learned there's a Missouri police force that now drives sweet muscle cars and I want one.

No one could find Kayla. She had been reported missing 6 years ago with her mother allegedly abducting her. Now, after being featured on "Unsolved Mysteries" on Netflix, she's been found safe and returned to her family in Illinois.

The details of this case are so grizzly and complicated it's hard to believe that it really happened and wasn't just some awful plot for a made-for-TV horror movie. What has become known as the Gypsy Rose murder plot has just been recognized as the most notorious crime in Missouri history and it would be hard to argue otherwise.

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.
