Rep. Billy Long launches Missouri Senate campaign after meeting with Trump

 

08/03/2021 09:16 PM EDT

 

The 65-year-old Long, who is running to replace retiring GOP Sen. Roy Blunt, joins a Republican primary field that includes state Attorney General Eric Schmitt, attorney Mark McCloskey, Rep. Vicky Hartzler, and former Gov. Eric Greitens. Earlier Tuesday, Rep. Ann Wagner announced that she would not be joining the primary, instead running for reelection in her district. But with so many candidates already in the race, the competition for donors is on: Long is sending out invitations to next week’s fundraiser showcasing a host committee of nearly 100 major givers, including Bass Pro Shops executive Johnny Morris and trucking company owner Robert Low.

 

Trump has yet to endorse a candidate in the race, though he has been in regular contact with Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley about how to engage in the contest. Hawley, who has received outreach from all the major Republican candidates, has so far given no indication of who he may support.

Long is the latest entrant in a crowded GOP primary for retiring Sen. Roy Blunt's seat.

Police Believe Missing Pennsylvania Woman Actually Crashed Her Car, Was Ejected Through Sunroof

Alberto Luperon 1 day ago

 

Unidentified remains have still to be identified. Nonetheless, Lower Southampton Township Chief of Police Ted Krimmel said these seem to match her description, according to KYW.

 

Casey, a Bucks County resident, went missing July 10 after she hung out with friends, going out to bars and clubs in Philadelphia. She was last seen driving off. Family described her disappearance as out of character.

 

The key development arrived on Saturday, with investigators finding her silver 2016 Ford Focus in Northeast Philadelphia on Saturday. Now police say they found Johnston half-mile away on Sunday afternoon. The theory is that she got into a crash and was ejected from the vehicle through the sunroof.

 

“It appears she didn’t negotiate the curve properly,” Krimmel reportedly said. “She went down to the culvert went airborne up and over the guardrail and she crashed into a tree about 30 feet into the air.”

 

Flooding on July 12 might have contributed to her body getting to a nearby creek, the chief said.

 

“We had some flooding in the area we think that culvert filled with water and probably moved her into that creek,” said Krimmel.

Complicating the search was Johnston losing her phone before she disappeared, so investigators could not use it to track her. No foul play is currently suspected.This is consider a tragic accident.

 

Johnston’s family asked for privacy but thanked those who shared photos and information during the search for her, according to KYW-TV.

 

Casey was a counselor at the Neshaminy Kids Club afterschool and summer program, her mother has said.

 

“She has a lot of responsibilities that she wouldn’t step away from,” Carolann Johnston told Dateline in a July 26 report. “She loves, loves her job and the children she works with. Those kids love her and miss her. Now they’re asking about her and no one knows what to tell them.”

A rare EF3 tornado that swept through Northeast Philadelphia on Thursday might have played a role in locating a body that matches the description of Cassandra "Casey" Johnston, a 26-year-old Bucks County woman who had been missing for three weeks, police said at a press conference on Sunday.

 

The body was discovered near the Byberry Creek off Townsend Road in Philadelphia. The identity of the body has not been released, but “it appears to match her description,” Lower Southampton Chief of Police Ted Krimmel told reporters.

 

Casey, who was featured in Dateline NBC’s “Missing in America” on July 26, was reported missing after she didn’t return home from a friend’s house in Philadelphia.

 

Her parents told Dateline Casey had lost her cell phone earlier in the evening before she went missing.

 

Chief Krimmel noted on Sunday that if Casey had the phone with her, they would have found her sooner.

 

Police spent weeks searching for Casey and her car, a silver 2016 Ford Focus with Pennsylvania plates, which she was last seen on video driving.

 

On Saturday, Casey’s car was located by investigators in a wooded area off Woodhaven Road, near Roosevelt Boulevard in Northeast Philadelphia.

 

Kevin Ryan, a private investigator hired by the family, had been tracing Casey’s path home by helicopter when he spotted the silver gleam of her Ford Focus in the wooded area.

 

It's still unclear how the car ended up in the woods, but Chief Krimmel said Sunday that it's possible Casey had trouble maneuvering around a curve.

 

A preliminary investigation shows Johnston, while driving on Woodhaven Road, crashed the car.
