SUMMARY: In Salem, Illinois, efforts to exhume a 1971 train wreck victim revealed multiple bodies in a single grave, complicating a 54-year-old mystery. The train derailment originally reported 11 deaths, but the Marion County coroner found remains of at least two people—a child and an adult—and possibly a third. A student and city workers uncovered these findings while preparing for DNA testing to identify one victim. Authorities are now reviewing death certificates to verify if more victims died than initially reported. DNA results are expected to take several months, potentially rewriting the historical account of the train tragedy in Salem.

In an effort to identify an unknown train wreck victim, Salem, Illinois, has instead uncovered a new mystery. 

For 54 years, an unidentified victim of a 1971 train wreck lay at rest in a Salem cemetery.

SUMMARY: A St. Louis couple, Roshonda Hagens and Joshua Riley, face charges of first-degree child endangerment resulting in the December 2022 death of their five-month-old son. The infant was hospitalized in Springfield, Missouri, with severe injuries including brain bleeds, rib fractures, and spinal hemorrhaging, later ruled a homicide. Investigators uncovered deleted texts and internet searches suggesting the child was injured days earlier, contradicting the parents’ accounts. GPS data also showed inconsistencies in their stories. Riley, previously convicted in 2012 for child endangerment and assault, researched shaken baby syndrome and extradition laws after dropping Hagens and the unresponsive baby at the hospital.

SUMMARY: Stormy weather looms for the region, with forecast uncertainty driven by shifting atmospheric systems. A fading rain complex may bring morning sprinkles, but the main concern is a new wave of storms forming in the Plains later today.

Winds may reach severe levels, as seen in overnight gusts of 101 mph in Kansas. Kansas City sits in a moderate risk zone for severe weather. Heaviest rain and storm impacts remain dependent on storm path and development tonight.
