Joplin

There's enough serious news in the world that I think this video moment can provide some welcome relief. It's the moment when a border collie in Missouri saw a frozen lake as a challenger and decided to take on the non-moving water source head on. Literally.

25 years ago, he was convicted of a brutal murder at in Joplin, Missouri. Now, he's being featured on season 4 of the Netflix show "I Am a Killer" revealing that his blood still runs icy cold after all this time behind bars.

I prefer to not pass judgment on things I find, but in this case I believe it's safe to say that some not very nice things happened in the Missouri woods where explorers found an old 'adult' drive-in. They also found out they were not alone in this abandoned place.

It's now been more than a decade since a tragic EF5 tornado devasted Joplin, Missouri. Did you know that there is a rainbow within that tragedy? It's the mystery of the "butterfly people" that children saw during that awful weather event.

A fire broke out in the middle of the night in a Missouri home. The woman in the house was still asleep when her dog came to her rescue and she's alive to tell about it today.

It's been 11 years now, but it still seems like yesterday. It was the afternoon of May 22, 2011 when a monster EF5 tornado cut a tragic swath through Joplin, Missouri and there are many that will never forget that day.

It began when native Americans saw the light in the early 1800's and continues to this day. It's a Missouri road that has been haunted by what locals call the "Spook Light" and there's no explanation for the phenomenon that is still visible now.

It's funny what some people consider a "vacation". For some, that apparently includes visiting a haunted Missouri cemetery where there's a decent chance you'll leave with scratches and scars from the experience.

If only animals could talk. A new video shows a Missouri service dog who loves to help his owner and appears to really want to be a cashier.

I've found one of the fanciest estates I've ever seen in Missouri and it's not even near St. Louis or Lake of the Ozarks. No, this drop-dead gorgeous estate that just breathes luxury is found in Joplin and I've got the pics to prove it.
