Cleo, a 4-year-old Labrador retriever mix who disappeared from her home in Kansas earlier this month and turned up a few days later at her old home in Missouri.

When a yellow Labrador named Cleo went missing from Olathe, Kansas, her owners were very surprised to hear she had been found in Lawson, Missouri.

Cleo had somehow traveled to her owner's former home, more than 50 miles away.

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.

Whether it’s something happening right now or something that happened 100 years ago, some stories don’t fit in the short few minutes of a newscast. As a podcast producer and reporter at KCUR Studios, I help investigate questions and local curiosities in a way that brings listeners along for adventures with plot twists and thought-provoking ideas. Sometimes there isn’t an easy answer in the end – but my hope is that we all leave with a greater understanding of the city we live in. Reach me at mackenzie@kcur.org.
