Today's riddle: What do you call somebody who crosses the ocean twice and doesn't take a bath? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. KCMO police searching for missing 64-year-old man (kshb.com) — Kansas City police are asking residents to help find 64-year-old Daniel Corrie, last seen late Saturday morning near the 3500 block of East 51st Street. He is bald with a long gray goatee, uses a red walker, and was wearing a brown hat, army green jacket, tan khakis and gray and yellow Nike shoes. Because he has medical issues and cognitive impairment, anyone who spots him should call 911 or KCPD immediately.
2. Brutal Kansas City Saturday Stabbing Leaves Victim Dead (tonyskansascity.com) — A man died after being stabbed Saturday morning, with Kansas City police investigating the killing as a homicide and asking anyone with information to contact detectives or the TIPS Hotline. The report contrasts the mayor's recent comments about falling homicide numbers with residents' ongoing safety concerns. Neighbors near the 4600 block of Chestnut Avenue may notice an active investigation and are urged to share any tips.
3. Union Station's 'Holiday Reflections' returning for the 2026 season (fox4kc.com) — Union Station's popular Holiday Reflections walk-through village is returning to Kansas City this season, running Nov. 20 through Jan. 4 with extended daily hours.

4. Kansas City Crime Scene: Ghillie Suit Hijinks & Deputy Super Dad (tonyskansascity.com) — A grab-bag Kansas City crime roundup highlights a fugitive caught hiding in a tree in camouflage, a 2025 murder case ending with an Alford plea, and a Gladstone carjacker heading to prison. It also notes an ongoing search for a missing 64-year-old Kansas City man, a warrant sweep that found two missing teens safe, and a Jackson County deputy up for a national "Super Dad" honor.
5. Daughter of Kansas City firefighter turns loss into fight against occupational cancer with fundraiser (kctv5.com) — A Kansas City firefighter's daughter is turning her father's death from occupational cancer into a push to protect local crews, using an annual pickleball fundraiser to buy specialized extractor washers for fire stations. Her nonprofit, Byrne Out Cancer, focuses on removing carcinogens from gear and skin, aiming to reduce cancer risks for Kansas City firefighters long after the flames are out.
