Levi Henning, who is now 21, was charged with Doss' murder almost a year later.

In a motion filed in court yesterday, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey says that he now has a stronger case against Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner than he did three weeks ago when he filed the quo warranto petition to begin proceedings to remove her from office. Bailey's most recent filing requested that his office be given an extra week to file an updated, amended petition. The filing says this is necessary because since the original quo warranto filing on February 23, "a number of witnesses have come forward with additional, significant information that supports the petition."
In his seven years running Sam's Steakhouse (10205 Gravois Road, 314-849-3033), Mark Erney has learned a lot about why guests regularly flock to the iconic south county restaurant.

In the early hours of Tuesday morning, two individuals in dark clothes smashed the front door of Diego's Cantina (630 North and South Road, University City) and stormed in to rob the place.

Some babies just know how to make an entrance. There are babies born just seconds after midnight on December 31 to make sure they're the first baby of the new year. There are other kids who come into the world as the St. Louis Blues win the Stanley Cup or the Cardinals win the World Series.
