Crime Victim Week Breakfast

It’s Crime Victim’s Rights Week, and Melissa Bench is the guest of honor at the 3rd annual breakfast. Bench was attacked by two men she’d to testify against in a criminal trial in Camden County. One of the males forced his way into her house, ordered her to lie on the floor then shot her in the head.
Bench has endured a long recovery, but testified against both at their trials. Both men are currently in the Missouri Department of Corrections This year’s theme of the breakfast is Reshaping the Future, Honoring the Past. The breakfast is Friday, at 7am at the Church at Osage Hills, 5237 Highway 54, Osage Beach. Tickets are $5 per person.
