ALT Statement from Special Agent in Charge Chris Crocker of the FBI St. Louis Division: “The shame should only be borne by George Pace and no one else. He stole from a locally owned non-profit circus that has been creating fun memories for families and children for decades. Like a typical embezzler, Pace was a wolf in sheep’s clothing and exploited the trust that was given him.”

ALT Quote from FBI St. Louis Special Agent in Charge Chris Crocker: “William Murphy’s abhorrent crimes were uncovered because a vigilant mother trusted her instincts and took action to protect her child. Child predators often rely on fear and manipulation to silence their victims. Parents must remain engaged; set clear expectations and monitor your child’s online activity to help keep them safe.”

ALT “A federal jury unanimously agreed the evidence proved Brandon Bosley committed fraud. He initiated the scheme to bilk his auto insurance company. He directed the auto shop owner to inflate the cost to repair his car,” said Special Agent in Charge Chris Crocker of the FBI St. Louis Division. “In addition, Bosley used his position and made it clear to the insurance company that he is an elected official.”
