jcso 2 children dead 5-28-24

Investigators search a Mazda SUV that was driven this morning to Festus City Hall and Police Station on Tuesday morning by a woman who allegedly told officers she killed two of her children.

Eureka Police are investigating damage to Genesis Church. It looked like someone threw a wooden block through a window in the office door on the back of the building but the door was still locked, and it didn’t appear that someone had gotten into the building, police reported.

The incident happened during the overnight hours between Aug. 6 and Aug. 7, and officers were called to the church, 102 Wengler Road, at about 8 a.m. Aug. 7. The block was found just inside the door, but nothing appeared to be tampered with in the building and nothing appeared to have been stolen, the report said.

The cost to repair the window was estimated at about $400, according to the report.

As of Aug. 15, no suspects had been identified, Lt. Michael Tapp said. He asks anyone with information about the incident to call Eureka Police at 636-938-6600.
