We appreciate everyone's feedback on this. We see that people would like for the info to be shared, but others are concerned about the sensitivity of the family. We want to offer the information but do so respectfully, so we will include any Excelsior Springs accidents with the Police reports each Wednesday. Again, thanks for your feedback and helping us make a decision.
