SUMMARY: Officer Nathan Spiess of the St. Louis City Police, critically injured in a hit-and-run incident last week, will be discharged from the hospital this morning. The 31-year-old officer has been at Barnes-Jewish Hospital since suffering serious injuries, including the amputation of one leg, while attempting to arrest a teenage carjacking suspect. Spiess underwent three surgeries and will be transported to a private facility for further recovery. The vehicle that struck him was allegedly driven by 62-year-old Frank Car, who has been arrested and is set to appear in court today. The discharge will involve a police escort and a tribute with an American flag.

Spiess, a 31-year-old St. Louis City police officer, has been hospitalized since the incident on I-70 near Shreve on March 17, where he was struck by a car while attempting to arrest a teenage carjacking suspect.

SUMMARY: A true crime podcast, *Morbid*, revisits the unsolved 1981 killing of Ken McElroy in Skidmore, Missouri. Known as “the town bully,” McElroy was accused of numerous crimes but avoided conviction through intimidation. On July 10, 1981, he was shot in broad daylight in front of around 50 people, yet no one came forward. The community, fed up with his reign of terror, allegedly took justice into their own hands.

Severe storms are more likely late Tuesday night into early Wednesday, but flooding poses the greatest risk due to moisture-rich conditions and possible training storms. There’s also a chance for strong “wake low” winds Tuesday. The first 90° day could arrive later this week or weekend as the pattern shifts.
