  • High times foiled near Cameron

    A federal judge sentenced a Kansas City man today to 11 years and three months in federal prison for running a marijuana-growing operation in Daviess County, which is holy land but I don't think Joseph Smith was growing weed. In July, a federal jury found 30-year-old Jhanmay Molina-Perez guilty of conspiracy to manufacture marijuana between May 1 to October 31, 2006, on a 22-acre property that he was renting near Cameron. The operation went south after a neighbor heard gunshots and found a coupl

  • Crazy gibberish scrawled on van fails to spark religious conversion

    Following a tip about a van covered in apocalyptic prophecy, I traveled to Independence in search of some good crazy. I wasn't able to find the mind behind the mystic van of prophecy, but I was able to find the vehicle itself. And, as promised, it's pretty wacky. The van covered with dire warnings of God's wrath has been parked at the corner of Lexington and River in Independence for months now.

  • What is the Community of Christ?

    Burrell Mohler Sr.​The sickening allegations against Burrell Mohler Sr. and four of his sons have brought unwelcome attention to the Community of Christ, a church that's headquartered in Independence. Mohler and two of his sons, David Mohler and Jared Mohler, are lay ministers in the church.
