Kansas City authorities are still trying to unravel the murder of state Auditor Claire McCaskill's ex-husband, who was shot Monday and apparently dumped from his car in a decaying neighborhood.

David Exposito, 64, was found lying on the street, in front of a child-care center. The neighborhood has been the scene of several murders in recent years.

Police on Tuesday recovered his vehicle, a 1979 Thunderbird, which was found minus its decorative gold rims. Some speculated that the assailants may have shot Exposito to get the rims.

2. Agreed.

And there is plenty of "family" in Kansas City.

6. It was probably a drug deal gone bad

He was arrested for smoking pot on the deck of a gambling boat in KC about 10 years ago. Claire divorced him shortly after that. Word here is that he was 'involved' in the drug trade.
