ST. LOUIS - Tammie Anderson details her documentation on the hood of FOX 2's news car. Her paper trail tells the tale of a nearly five-month search for housing. Her saga starts at the Santa Ana Apartments in St. Ann, Missouri.“The walls was all molded up. The carpet was all wet. Streams of water was coming from the ceiling," Anderson said.She moved out in early December and thought she had found a new home less than two miles away at the Parc Chalet Apartments. She applied and paid the $412.50 security deposit with two money orders. Around the same time, the Parc Chalet Apartments experienced major plumbing issues that led the City of St. Ann to condemn several units. Anderson said it made her think twice about moving in. ‘Rudderless ship of chaos,’ judge says after Gardner’s court absence “That’s when I said no; I just want my money back.

ST. LOUIS – A veterinary drug used to sedate horses is being mixed into drugs sold illegally on the streets across St. Louis. A FOX Files investigation reveals an alarming spike in the last month of a new drug mixture that is literally rotting people's skin. The video from this story may be difficult to view because the wounds are so graphic, but the issue is important to understand.FOX 2 spoke with a man who wanted to remain anonymous. He showed us the open wounds he has on his arms that won’t heal. They're caused by injecting fentanyl mixed with xylazine, a sedation drug used by veterinarians on large animals. In humans, the drug causes the skin to form large, open sores. Drug dealers are cutting fentanyl with xylazine to extend the high and make more money by adding a less expensive, easy to get drug. ‘Rudderless ship of chaos,’ judge says after Gardner’s court absence The addict we spoke with says xylazine is all over south St. Louis.

The dumpsters were hidden by thick brush, with filth piling up on the ground around them.By noon Thursday, the brush was gone, the dumpsters were exposed, and the alleys were passable again behind the 4400 block of Anderson. About two dozen city forestry workers, armed with a variety of chainsaws, completely changed the landscape.“When I heard them out here this morning, I was like, ‘Oh my God,'" said Allison Miller, a resident. ‘Rudderless ship of chaos,’ judge says after Gardner’s court absence “It feels like you can breathe a little better when it’s clear.
