Law agencies throughout central Missouri are looking for the white male suspect in three murders at 3682 County Road 488 near Holts Summit in Callaway county MO Wednesday morning.

And- according to The COLUMBIA (MO) TRIBUNE- the University Hospital in Columbia has been "locked-down" as a precaution "on the remote possibility" Maylee would show up there to confront the female victim of the morning shooting.



This reportedly caused confusion on the M.U. campus with the bogus e-media reports of a shooting on-campus.



Joshua Maylee is on-the-loose as of 6:30 p.m's last report ...


He is possibly located in Cole, Callaway or Morgan counties- and is being sought by the Missouri Highway Patrol (MOHP) as well as the sheriff's and municipal police departments in those counties and throughout the state...

Included in the design that would be implemented over four phases of construction is a drive-in theater configuration that would include "a collapsible (movie) screen."

Republicrat Roy Blunt Tries To Dodge K.C. TV News Reporters

Republicrat Roy Blunt wants to continue his reign so he and his entourage came to Lee's Summit MO this Wednesday morning.


According to KSHB-41 Action News- "Twenty years ago, Blunt wrote letters to the INS to help an immigrant woman. The Democratic Party says he was “pulling strings” for her despite his current tough talk against immigration."

KSHB reporter Chris Hernandez and KMBC's Michael Mahoney attempted to ask Blunt about that.

Blunt bluntly (heh) told the reporters as he was walking away with a scowl on Blunt's face to "read the statement" that Blunt's political handlers put out about the immigrant woman incident.



Vote for Roy Blunt November 2nd and let's CONTINUE the lies- bullshit and business as usual in Washington D.C.!
