Ozark County

An investigation by the Missouri Highway Patrol and other law enforcement agencies has led to charges of terrible crimes against a Missouri man that allegedly began 25 years ago.

This is one of those stories where you fear it will have a tragic ending. Thanks to the efforts of an entire Missouri community, it didn't. Many residents rallied together and collectively helped find a 2-year-old Missouri boy who had gotten lost in the woods.

According to reports, it took a dozen hours to accomplish, but nearly 30 dogs were rescued from a Missouri breeder with many of the animals showing terrible injuries.
