Murder in the Heartland is traveling to Caulfield, Missouri, in rural Howell County to investigate the murder of Joy Dishneau in a savage home invasion in 2012.
On January 1, 2012, Dennis Woodward and his girlfriend Elisabeth Gunter broke into Dishneau’s house, intending to rob her.
At some point during the home invasion, Woodward stabbed the 63-year-old businesswoman to death. Dishneau was a local store owner who specialized in selling synthetic marijuana, and she was known to keep large amounts of cash.

New vaccines are on the horizon but is it too late to blunt the pandemic’s winter surge? Might Houston fare better than the rest of Texas? And why could a traditional-method vaccine be better for kids?
To answer these questions, we once again check in with vaccine researcher Peter Hotez, one of the country’s best explainers of COVID-19 science. He’s a professor and dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, and he co-directs the Texas Children’s Hospital Center for Vaccine Development, where his lab team is developing COVID-19 vaccines.
