Illinois State Police just completed a two day sting operation in the Columbia area of Illinois which resulted in the arrest of 5 Missouri men who are accused of trafficking children.
It's been a lively season for bears in southern Illinois and that point was proven yet again over the weekend as one of these apex predators was spotted making cameos on security camera photos and even ringing doorbells in Monroe County.
For once, I am completely on board with something the internet has decided. A national survey of favorite treat brands has resulted in a decision which just so happens to have 20 sweet locations in Missouri and yes, I am a fan.
It's a real Missouri treasure hunt and someone will walk away with $32,000 in gems including a diamond that are hidden somewhere in Boone County thanks to the historical society there.
You can't see this, but I'm rolling my eyes and haven't stopped since I first learned what the internet thinks is Missouri's loneliest place. It is beyond ridiculous and I can prove it with personal experience and some science, too.
Flying can be a stressful experience and O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, Illinois is one of the worst. Kansas City's airport isn't far behind.
Stop me if you've heard this before. The worst place for crime in Missouri is St. Louis or Kansas City. For some types of crime, yes that's accurate, but not for this one. The worst place for property crime in the Show Me State isn't either of those metros. Oh, and it's not Springfield either in case you guessed that, too.
I've heard my share of Missouri Bigfoot stories, but never one quite like this. A Missouri man claims he had one of these mythical creatures drawn to him possibly because of the awesome music he was playing on his car stereo.
Well, this is totally unexpected. If you had to guess where the next great hub of technology and innovation were to be, would you guess in the heart of Missouri? That's exactly what has just been predicted.
It will forever be remembered as the day when the sky tried to pound Missouri into the ground. The worst hailstorm in history that began in the Kansas City area continued across Missouri until it relented just past St. Louis nearly 23 years ago.
