Cass county sheriff's deputies nab runner following high speed chase
The driver failed to yield to the deputy’s emergency equipment and a pursuit ensued.
He fled northbound on I-49 at a high rate of speed.
The suspect crashed his vehicle in a field near SE Outer Rd. and 283rd St. in Harrisonville, then fled on foot.
With assistance from a K9 Unit, he was found near the 283rd St. overpass and placed into custody.
The suspect has been identified as 29-year-old Michael Cox.
Cox has been charged with Aggravated Fleeing A Stop Or Detention (D Felony), Operation A Motor Vehicle In A Careless And Imprudent Manner (A Misdemeanor) and Unlawful Possession of Drug Paraphernalia (D Misdemeanor).
He’s currently at the Cass County Jail with a $50,000 cash only bond.
***NOTE***
This incident is completely separate from the multi-vehicle crash in Harrisonville just north of State Route 291 around the same time.
The Harrisonville Police Department and Missouri State Highway Patrol were the primary call takers for that incident.
However, a Cass County deputy did render aid to one of the individuals involved.

I am incredibly proud of all of our competitors. The competition is steep, and the qualifications for nationals are very rigorous. Each student showed dedication, growth, and commitment throughout the year.
As this was my first year as an advisor, I learned a great deal. I am already thinking about ways to refine and strengthen our chapter to create a more immersive and co curricular experience moving forward.
Thank you everyone for your continued support of our students! Big things are happening!

Obituary - Michael Beeman
Mike grew up in Nevada, graduating from Nevada High School in 1971. After graduation Mike went to work for the Railroad as well as raising pigs with his father. In 1985 Mike started work at 3M, retiring in 2013. Shortly after his retirement he decided to take up baking and smoking meat for several friends and fellow co-workers. His rolls, cheesecakes, sourdough bread and healthy muffins were some of his specialties. He also did an excellent job smoking pulled pork, brisket, ribs, and tri-tips. He started doing some catering and enjoyed that up until last year when his health wouldn’t allow him to continue.
Mike is survived by his wife, Susan, two sons, Jeremy Ogle and wife Tara of Baroda, MI and Joseph Beeman, Chicago, IL; four grandchildren, Addie, Luke, Taylor, and Eli; one sister, Claudia Martindale and husband Rick, Spring Branch, TX; and several nieces and nephews. Mike was preceded in death by his parents, a brother, Craig Beeman and sister-in-law, Jan Beeman.
Following cremation, a committal service of Mike’s ashes will be held in the Courtyard at All Saint’s Episcopal Church on Sunday, March 22, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. with Father Jim Lile officiating.
For those who wish to contribute memorials are suggested in Mike’s memory to All Saint’s Episcopal Church c/o Ferry Funeral Home.

Obituary - Elaine Boden
Elaine was a woman whose life was defined by love, faith, and quiet strength. A devoted woman of God, she lived her life as a reflection of her beliefs - loving deeply, serving others, and welcoming everyone she met. She truly never knew a stranger, offering kindness, conversation, and a warm smile to anyone lucky enough to cross her path.
Elaine was a proud farmer’s wife who embraced the hard work and simple beauty of farm life. Whether she was helping tend to the pigs or making sure everyone who walked through her door had a hearty, home cooked meal, she showed her love through service. No one ever left her table hungry, and the care she put into feeding her family was just one of the many ways she nurtured those around her.
She was a proud and devoted mother, and later an even prouder grandmother. Her grandchildren were truly the light of her life, and she treasured every moment spent with them. Her love for her family was constant, steady, and unconditional.
Elaine was an incredible cook, known for meals that brought people together, but she was especially admired for her extraordinary talent as an embroiderer. Her work was nothing short of remarkable, with each piece reflecting her patience, creativity, and attention to detail. Many in the community cherish the beautiful pieces she created, which now serve as lasting reminders of her gifted hands and loving heart.
Her faith remained central throughout her life as a dedicated member of the Catholic church and Altar Sodality. After moving into town following many years on the farm, Elaine found new joy in quilting and building connections within her community. She especially loved spending time with school children, whose hugs and smiles brought her endless happiness. She found such simple but profound joy in their laughter and affection.
Elaine found so much joy in the simple things. One of her favorite simple joys was going for rides in her golf cart with her dear neighbor and friend, Jackie. Those rides were filled with laughter, conversation, and the kind of friendship that meant so much to her. She truly treasured that time and the special bond they shared.
Above all, Elaine will be remembered for how she made people feel - loved, welcomed, and cared for. Her legacy is one of faith, family, hard work, and a heart big enough to hold everyone she met.
Elaine was preceded in death by her parents Elam and Ethel Buller; her husband Harold; one infant son David Boden; three siblings: James Buller, David Buller and Jane Stewart.
MEMORIALS to St. Mary's School
Survivors include her three children Wayne (Susan) Boden, Michelle (Norman) Bellinghausen and Edward (Jennifer) Boden; her grandchildren: Hannah (Logan) Enderle, Harrison Boden, Zach Lane, Andrew (Amber) Bellinghausen, and Kristin (Dalton) Lindsay; her siblings: Robert (Barbara) Buller, Marvin Buller, and Rodney (Jennifer) Buller; two great-grandchildren, Declan Bellinghausen and Ashton Lindsay.
