The Consumer Price Index has risen eight percent in the year, through September. U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt (R) predicts Republicans will retake control of the U.S. House in November. Senator Blunt tells 939 the Eagle’s “Wake Up Mid-Missouri” that election decisions are quickly turning back to what people see daily: gas and grocery prices. Senator Blunt also discussed Alzheimer’s in-detail, including September’s dedication ceremony at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for the Roy Blunt Center for Alzheimer’s and Related Dementias Building:
UPDATE: Columbia murder victim has still not been positively identified
(This story includes a correction about the murder victim’s age and prior condition)
Graphic court documents say a claw hammer was used to kill a woman at a home on High Quest drive in north Columbia. It’s still unclear from the court documents when the victim was killed.
Boone County prosecutors have charged 37-year-old Adam Conner of Columbia with second degree murder, and he was arraigned via video from the Boone County jail on Wednesday afternoon. The charges were read to him in open court, by Boone County Judge Stephanie Morrell. Conner is jailed without bond.
Conner has numerous prior convictions.
The Columbia Police Department’s probable cause statement says CPD investigators found multiple trash bags in the back yard of the High Quest home this week, including one with a pair of blood soaked sweat pants. Another trash bag contained a bloody claw hammer and bloody towels, according to court documents.
The victim was beaten to death with a claw hammer, and the injuries were so severe that police have still not been able to make a positive identification. She is being referred to as Jane Doe, for now. It’s unclear how old the victim was. The Columbia Police Department’s probable cause statement says the victim’s body was found under a rug inside a closet of a home on High Quest drive, with a wheelchair on top of it.
The court documents also indicate the victim pushed three medical alarms early Saturday morning.
Big turnout expected for next week’s grand opening for new COU terminal
Columbia’s mayor is encouraging you to attend Wednesday’s grand opening and ribbon-cutting for the $23-million new terminal at Columbia Regional Airport (COU).
Mayor Barbara Buffaloe briefed area business leaders at Wednesday’s Regional Economic Development Incorporated (REDI) board meeting. She tells 939 the Eagle that she’s excited about the new terminal.
“Because we know it’s used as a recruitment tool. You know the University (of Missouri) right now with their Mizzou Forward Campaign that they have, trying to recruit like over 100 scientists and researchers and their teams to central Missouri, that’s the first thing they’re going to see. And so I want that to be a welcoming, forward-thinking environment,” Buffaloe says.
Wednesday afternoon’s ceremony begins at 3, and you’re asked to arrive by 2:45.
Columbia-area business leaders are excited about the new terminal, saying it represents the front door to our community and that it’s been 15 years in the making.
“Governor (Mike) Parson will be there welcoming everybody (on Wednesday). We’ll obviously have the Columbia mayor, myself, and the mayor from Jefferson City (Carrie Tergin) will be there. As well as individuals from the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and American Airlines. So really all the partners in this region coming together,” says Buffaloe.
You’ll be able to tour the new terminal, after the ceremony.
Jefferson City Mayor Tergin tells 939 the Eagle that many Jefferson City-area residents use COU, adding that the new terminal will boost economic development across the region.
The terminal’s main funding source is a hotel tax approved by Columbia voters in 2016.
