Murder in Hollister

Charges are now filed in a weekend murder in Hollister.


A spokesperson for the Hollister Police Department says 53-year-old John Ingram was found dead in his mobile home early Saturday morning. Prosecutors say the autopsy shows Ingram died of a heart attack brought on by a severe beating.


Officers later arrested and charged two men in the murder, 25-year-old Joshua Brokaw of Branson and 27-year-old Daniel Pease of Hollister. Both are charged with second degree murder.

Our condolences to the family.

Branson Adoration Parade

 
 
 
 
Cold as expected with a solid 3 inch layer of snow blanketing the landscape set the scene for Branson's annual Adoration Parade. This years theme "Keeping Christ in Christmas" moved to the Branson Landing for the first time. Religious and Non-Religious participants met spectators lining the street through Historic Downtown Branson before arriving Center Stages where judges viewed and eventually tallied scores.

Branson Landing View - What it looks like now

 
 
 
 

These pictures of the Branson Landing are posted to give you a snapphot of current development. 500,000 dollars from the recently implemented tourism tax are going to be spent promoting the convention center which is the broad 2 story building you see above. The other shots are of the Hilton, boardwalk and floating restaurant which apparently is without a roof.
