• Judge refuses to reduce Sanders' bail

    COLUMBIA — Daniel Sanders’ request for a reduction in his $250,000 bond was denied Wednesday by Circuit Judge Gene Hamilton, according to Missouri CaseNet.
    Sanders, 19, is charged with tampering with physical evidence in a felony prosecution after Columbia police pulled him over on Aug. 14 and found his mother’s body in the trunk of the car he was driving. Police are now investigating the possibility that his mother, 53-year-old Helen Sanders, drowned in a tub in her home. Future court dates for Daniel Sanders’ trial will be set on Monday at 9 a.m.

Jesse Hall mural now fully uncovered after asbestos removal

MU workers uncovered this mural on the fourth floor of Jesse Hall during general renovations on Wednesday. The mural is now believed to be painted by former MU art department treasurer James Hatfield.
The mystery mural discovered last week in MU's Jesse Hall is fully visible now that the asbestos removal efforts obstructing it are finished.

The mural depicts a male model posing for art students who are surrounded by persons sculpting, print-making and drawing.

On Aug. 20, workers remodeling KBIA/91.3 FM's fourth-floor offices found the mural underneath pegboard panels. Asbestos was also discovered during the remodel, and the process of removing the asbestos delayed closer inspection of the mural by several days.

The mural is likely to decorate the KBIA offices after the remodel is complete, though it's unclear what, if anything, will be done to restore or enhance the mural, John Murray, the building coordinator for Jesse Hall, said on Monday.

Alex Barker, director of MU's Museum of Art and Archaeology, plans to take a closer look at the mural with members of the museum's curatorial staff as early as Wednesday.
