This evening the St. Louis Circuit Attorney's Office announced that a jury found 58-year-old Tommie Coffer Jr. guilty of first degree murder for killing Geneva Richardson, 94, at her home in Florissant, Missouri. The murder happened in December 2017 when Coffer was working in Richardson's home providing night-shift elder care. Over the course of that month, Coffer wrote $7,000 in Richardson's personal checks to himself.

In an update Thursday afternoon, police identified the victim as 25-year-old Arriell Dixon, a St. Louis resident.

So, the first High School Student Job Fair was born. “This event concept came together in about 30 minutes,” said Dawn Mushill, Executive Director, Troy/Maryville/St. Jacob/Marine Chamber of Commerce. “I think we all knew there was a need and it was just a matter of figuring out the logistics”.

They were asked to preregister online for the event and submit their general information into the portal provided. Mr. Grigg and his staff worked with the students to put together
