Gov. Eric Greitens faces a criminal charges as well as a House investigation.

Segment 1: Reporters sort through multiple issues threatening governor's hold on office.

Between a felony indictment, a closed-door House committee investigation and talk of dark money, there is lots to keep up with when it comes to Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens. We sorted out details of the controversies swirling around the state's most prominent office-holder and what it could mean down the road for Missouri politics.

Segment 2, beginning at 34:39: What happens after you call 911.

Earlier this week, a Clinton, Missouri, police officer was dispatched to a residence where he was fatally shot upon entering the house — a house he wasn't supposed to be at in the first place. The Henry County Emergency 911 Center sent the officer to the wrong location. How does that happen? We learned about various technologies used to determine from where a 911 call is placed.
