February 2007 ArchivesWith all the sturm und drang surrounding the St. Louis public schools lately, it's pretty easy to lose focus on the nuts and bolts issues that effect school kids on a daily basis. Issues like the safety of the food those kids are eating. So we ordered up three years worth of health inspection reports for...
Scott Costa, our executive producer of special projects, is giving up diet Coke for the next 40 days. This should make him only slightly more agitated than usual. Photographer Bill McCormac usually swears off peanut butter ...
The company is called U'SAgain. Its CEO told me labels that identify collection bins as belonging to a "commercial company" adequately inform peopl...
This has been our experience over the last six months or so with Roger Walker, Jr., >> Continue reading: News 4 Investigates: Captive Victims From the Associated Press: Oft-injured Kerry Wood is out again -- this time because of a flub in a hot tub. The Chicago Cubs pitcher is not expected to throw off the mound for a few days after he slipped this week getting out of a hot tub at home. Wood landed on his stomach and chest.... For today's DB, here's a blantant copy-and-paste from the e-newsletter "Al's Morning Meeting" written by friend of the DB, Al Tompkins. But this is just too good to ignore. Private investigators joke Feb. 14 is their Super Bowl of Surveillance. "Eighty percent of che...
The boxes make U'SAgain one of the largest collectors of used clothing and shoes in the area. But are they being honest? News 4 Investigates has talked with dono... Here is yet another reason not to envy those of us who routinely travel for business. Last Thurdsay, photographer Bill McCormac and I hopped a last-minute flight to Chicago so we could shoot an interview first thing Friday morning. Our flight landed at Midway airport around 8:30 p.m., so we didn't make it to our hotel in the far-western suburbs until 10. We had been up since early that morning... and neither of us had e... N4I producer Steve Perron starts his day in the office with a cup of coffee and by listening to the tipline calls that came in since we left the office the night before. On an average day he has two or three calls to listen to and type up, most of them about things we can't investigate. This morning was different, and it showed in the subject line of his e-mail listing who called and why. It read: "Wow! 14 calls on the ...
Instead of the black and white form and postcards the state has used in the past, the renewal notice is printed in full color and stuffed inside an envelope w... We Three Steves were on the road to Springfield, Ill. and back for most of the day. I can't tell you why we were there... yet... but it's going to be a heck of a story when it airs. What I can tell you is how enjoyable it is to pack up the SUV and hit the road for a day. Especially when your day goes as well as today did. I returned from the trip to find a bunch of new comments on the message board. Thanks for writing i...
Senator and presidential hopeful Barack Obama has a nasty habit he's trying to kick. Seems the orator has another oral fixation -- inv... If not for the railroad, St. Louis wouldn't be the city it is today. But security experts say a single rail car could kill a third of the city's residents within minutes. They also say security around those rail cars is nonexistent. After News 4 Investigates checked out their claims, we tend to agree. Over the past couple weeks, we went undercover into two of the area's largest rail yards -- the >> Continue reading: News 4 Investigates: Risk on the Rails
The charges were the first time authorities have openly accused Michael Devlin of molesting the children. Devlin was >> Continue reading: Devlin charged with 71 crimes in St. Louis County
This morning, he tried to get out on bail for the third time. And for the third time, a judge told him no. Things are also heating up in the St. Louis county case against Krupp. A number of women have told police >> Continue reading: No bail for Krupp. Earlier today, every member of the St. Louis board of aldermen was ready to vote on Lyda Krewson's bill calling for tougher regulation of scrap metal dealers. Every member except Lyda Krewson. Krewson said she needs a little more time to fine tune part of her legislation. The board will try again next Friday. ...In the last year, metro-area thieves have torn copper wire from power lines, yanked catalytic converters and aluminum wheels from cars, ripped the copper roofing off an old church, and taken more copper pipe than we can count. Thieves steal that metal so they can turn right around and sell it to scrap yards. Tonight, we exposed why toothless laws and careless scrap dealers may be fueling a crime that can really hit you where yo... I learned a very important lesson from yesterday's panic in Boston. A terrorist doesn't need a bomb to bring a city to a panic-filled standstill. All he needs is an old VCR or a clock radio or, heck, how about an empty box. Yes, the Aqua Teen Hunger Force promotion was not a smart idea. Sticking signs on private property is inviting trouble. But could the police... From the Washington Examiner: Former Sen. Jim Talent's back in town, and he was spotted grabbing dinner at Armand's pizzeria on Capitol Hill Tuesday night, wearing a blazer Obama-style (i.e. no tie, unbuttoned white shirt). The Missouri Republican lost his seat to Claire McCaskill last fall. |
