St. Louis Teen Found Guilty of Double Homicide

2 years 5 months ago
A 19-year-old's second murder trial in three months ended this afternoon with him being found guilty of double homicide. After a two-day trial, a jury determined that Prinshun McClain murdered Terri Bankhead, 27, and her 8-year-old daughter, Da'Nilya Edwards, in August 2021 in the Fairgrounds neighborhood. In closing arguments, Assistant Circuit Attorney Natalia Ogurkiewicz referred to the case as a "nightmare story” for the two victims, but “an intricate production” for McClain, who went about the murders as if they were happening in a horror film of which he was the director.

Greenfinch Theater & Dive To Open in the Former Way Out Club Space

St. Louisans have been mourning the loss of the Way Out Club deeply this month. Though the club announced its closure in 2021, it wasn’t until last week that the public was let inside for an epic estate sale of all things kitsch. But all of this attention to the space had people wondering what would come of it once the Way Out had been cleaned out.

With ‘All Things New’ plan looming, St. Louis Catholics keep the faith

2 years 5 months ago
The Catholic community in the St. Louis region is at a crossroads. A sweeping plan from the Archdiocese, known as the All Things New initiative, is considering how to close schools and consolidate parishes. Among those preparing for the change is Fr. Andrew Auer, an associate pastor at St. Clare of Assisi in Ellisville. Fr. Auer discusses the reaction to All Things New, why St. Louis’ Catholic community may be “over-planted,” and the impending announcement May 28, on Pentecost, of the final model for parish consolidation.
