Did “Inches-a-Weigh” really weigh out? Earlier this week three “Inches-A-Weigh” businesses/gyms had their doors locked and weren’t letting anyone in. Was there a reason behind it?
Seems the note on the door just said they were working hard to reopen. Reopen, why? Why did they close in the first place? Weren’t they making enough with all those memberships?
The Lees Summit Blue Ridge Bank was robbed around 11 a.m. this morning by a man that has yet to be stopped. The man apparently came in and held up the tellers at gun point. On him was a black handgun and he left in a black Hyundai heading west on US 50.
If you see this suspect or hear of someone that stole money from the bank contact the TIPS hotline. Do not approach him as he is considered armed and dangerous. Thankfully no one was hurt during the robbery.
Lafayette County Missouri has turned up a badly burned headless and handless body. They believe it to be a man, but currently have no way of identifying him/her. The body turned up near a road northeast of Concordia in a grassy area near trees about 10 feet from Davis Road.
Todd Barkau and his roommate helped train her (roommate) daughter, which was only 12-years-old how to become a dominatrix and they sold her for rough sex for years. Finally after 8 years, this little girl, now 20-years-old may finally see justice to what her own mother and Todd did to her for all those years.
Someone dropped me an email asking who Debra Skodack of Kansas City is? I thought I knew the name and looked it up, sure enough it’s columnist for The Kansas City Star. It seems to be a daily column and not a weekly, so if you like her writing you can tune into KansasCity.com every day.
Her most recent article is “Extraordinary outpouring’ for baby with Rare Condition.” Which is a very sad story about a little baby that needs our help. 7-month-old Granton Bayless has a rare condition and needs a bone-marrow. So far 1,792 people came to see if their marrow would match up. If you’d like to take part the Bone Marrow Program is waiving the $52 fee to encourage more to do this.
Someone in Missouri has a winning ticket worth $2.2 Million and they haven’t yet realized it or cashed it in. The ticket dates back from April 26 and was bought at Deer Run Quick Mart in O’Fallon. If you ever buy your tickets there you might want to go back through them and look very carefully, after all you could be a millionaire without even knowing it.
Marco M. Lugo, age 29, was shot dead while he sat in the backseat of his friends vehicle after leaving a club. He was in a white, GMC Yukon, when the blue Ford Taurus came up shooting. The only lead they have is the blue Ford Taurus had a gray roof and the paint was peeling off. No one knows why this car was targeted or who had the rage that did such a horrific crime.
It has been almost a year since the killing and the police still have no leads. The parents of Marco have put up a $8500 reward for any information that leads to an arrest. Help bring a parents worst nightmare a little justice. If you know something call 816 474 TIPS.
The newborn baby boy that was found in the trash bin earlier this week is doing well and actually has no issues. For those that don’t know, a man went to take out his trash only to discover a newborn baby boy, with his umbilical cord still attached was inside the trash and alive.
The baby was found in a dumpster near 5700 of Waterman, so if you know of anyone that was pregnant and is no longer this could be her baby. Police are looking for the mother of this infant. Had she simply given the baby over to the police or hospital there would’ve been no questions asked, she’d be fine, but by trying to kill him now she has some questions to answer.
The little infant is in state custody at the Children’s Hospital. I do wish him the best of luck in life.
Besides the fact that this weekend is Mother’s Day and everyone will be taking out their Mother it’ll be busy with lots of local events. Check them out, oh and don’t forget, Speed Racer comes out too. Have a great weekend and try to stay dry. It’s only suppose to rain this morning and then once more this weekend. But it should be perfect weather for Mother’s Day, so no excuses.

After 10 suspicious fires have popped up in St.Louis police have decided to investigate to find out whether or not they are linked. So far all the fires were started on empty/vacant buildings and no one was injured. Five of the fires were all on this past Saturday and all within 5 blocks of North St. Louis. No news yet on that.
Lena White, may only be in 7th grade but she’s made it a habit to visit the library 3 times a week and read up to 10 books during this time. When she competed in the state essay contest, “Inaugural Carter G. Woodson” for Middle School, she won.
The speech was on “The Mis-Eduacation of the Negro” to which she nailed. She won a laptop, to which she is very happy about.
“It will be a lot easier for me to do homework because I will not need to compete for the one at home with family members.”
Congratulations Lena, I hope you continue to read those books.

You may remember the post about Katherine Cook, a 5-year-old little girl, that had been shot in the head in her own yard by a stray bullet. I have good and bad news for ya’ll. The good news is Katherine did survive, in fact she went home this past week. The bad news is they never were able to catch her shooter.
oh bWondering how bad the Kansas City’s GM Strike will be for the plant itself? Well normally they have 2,700 workers an hour and now that they’ve went on strike they’ve got no one doing anything.
Will that hurt Chevrolet Malibu sales? I’m sure it will and as of right now there are actually 1000+ on strike. While this may not be all of the employees, it is definitely over half of them and I don’t see the other half working double shifts to make up for the loss.
I guess we’ll just wait and see who breaks first, the
The GM Fairfax Plant is about to go on strike according to late breaking news on KCTV5. Last week it lost $3billion and now the people want answers and they are doing it by having a strike.
The strike began at 9 a.m. when they didn’t reach an agreement. They want rules reached and a contract. With no one working there is definitely no money being made, so the question remains who will end the strike first. Will it be the owners or the workers? Something tells me it may last a while.
What a way to end your high school years then to have the President of the United States actually attend your Graduation and then he actually gives the speech. That’s what happened over the weekend in Greensburg, Kansas where a town that was totally destroyed just a year ago by a tornado.
