Two years ago, a little girl was killed by a police sniper during a hostage situation, and the case has since attracted international attention. In addition river to river, Host Ben Kieffer speaks with Sam Zeff, whose investigative reporting uncovered key facts about the March 2022 Kansas hostage crisis.

Kieffer then reports on more stories from NPR’s Midwest Newsroom. He speaks with Aaron Bonderson about the challenges facing rural nursing homes and with Kavahn Mansouri about the rise in evictions in Missouri and across the country.
