Look, if you want me to parallel park cars, there is an hourly fee. But I can drive a stick.

If you, or someone you know needs support, call or text 988.

The data does include justifiable homicides, as well as when police shoot and kill someone. So the numbers do not match what police departments report to the FBI as homicide figures. Tracking crime can be more complex than people expect.

And then there are the deaths that we typically don't include: Children who find drugs and overdose; DUI crashes that are fatal; some types of abuse deaths. Sometimes the decision is based on the severity of the charges.

The tracker is based on Post-Dispatch reporting, and likely doesn't include all homicides. Reporters do their best to check court filings, police reports, etc. Editors then fill out the database information based on that reporting.

Sure, but certain tours of the area that are supposed to highlight the haunted history are full of fake stories.
