FBI Special Agent Isaac McPheeters led the investigation into Bryan Parry and Jonathan O’Dell, co-founders of the “2nd American Militia,” who planned to kill border agents and immigrants. O’Dell escaped jail in 2023 but was recaptured within 48 hours.

SUMMARY: Beneath St. Louis’s Forest Park lies a critical wastewater tunnel system connected to the River Des Peres, which runs over four miles under the city. Created in the 1890s, the river originally carried untreated wastewater, causing unpleasant conditions by the early 1900s. A combined sewer system channels both stormwater and wastewater through these tunnels to the Lemay Wastewater Treatment Plant. The complex network, recognized as a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark, was built using manual labor and early technology. Ongoing maintenance ensures structural integrity, and a new 15- to 16-mile tunnel system, planned for completion in the late 2030s, will increase capacity by 300 million gallons. Residents are warned to avoid the hazardous tunnels and river waters.
