Missouri couple charged in infant’s death in Springfield
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.

Joe’s Blog: Monitoring heavy rain/wind threats (TUE-6/17)
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. These could produce 1–3 inches of rain overnight, especially if they stall or repeat over the same areas, increasing the risk of flooding. 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.
