ST. LOUIS (AP) — A St. Louis woman who recently reunited with a daughter who she says she thought was dead has filed a lawsuit seeking records that could shed light on what happened at the hospital where she gave birth in 1965

The suit was filed Monday on behalf of Zella Jackson Price and her daughter, Melanie Diane Gilmore.

Price gave birth on Nov. 25, 1965. But she says she was told by a nurse that the girl had died.

In February, Price was contacted by Gilmore’s granddaughter, who had Price’s name because Gilmore, as a child, had found a birth certificate showing the name of her birth mother.

DNA testing confirmed with near certainty that Price was Gilmore’s mother.

HILLSBORO, Mo. (AP) — An autopsy is planned for a 17-year-old St. Louis-area girl who authorities say died after being found unconscious during a weekend party at a supposed haunted house.

Jefferson County authorities don’t suspect foul play in the death of the girl, who died Saturday night on arrival at a hospital.

Her name hasn’t yet been publicly released.

Authorities say the teenager was found unconscious and not breathing behind the Morse Hill Hotel near Hillsboro, south of St. Louis. The hotel is a 19th-century farmhouse now marketed as a haunted house with guided “paranormal investigation” tours.

Saturday night’s party included a disc jockey and was attended by hundreds of people. Sheriff’s Capt. Ron Arnhart says the crowd dispersed when deputies tried to resuscitate the girl.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — General Motors officials visited the Fairfax plant in Kansas City, Kansas, to celebrate a production milestone and announce new investments to support production of the 2016 Malibu.

They announced Monday the company will invest $174 million in the plant for new equipment and technology for production of the midsize sedan, which will begin later this year.

CEO Mary Barra and GM North America and Global Chevrolet President Alan Batey also celebrated as the company noted production of 500 million vehicles in its history, about 12 million at the Fairfax plant.

Barra says the company plans to build 10 million vehicles this year.

The company surprised Iraqi war veteran Trent Brining with the symbolic key to a 2016 Chevrolet Malibu, which will be built later this year at the plant.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas legislators are preparing to debate a measure to make fantasy sports leagues legal in the state.

Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce says he expects his chamber to debate the measure Monday.

If senators approved the bill as expected, the House would consider it. Passage in the House would send the measure to Gov. Sam Brownback.

The bill is a response to the state Racing and Gaming Commission’s announcement in August that it views fantasy sports leagues as illegal lotteries.

Under Kansas law, lottery results are determined by chance. The bill declares that the results of fantasy sports contests are determined by the skill and knowledge of the players.

Fantasy sports players make up digital teams from a pool of real athletes and track how well they play.

PORTAGE DES SIOUX, Mo. (AP) — A suburban St. Louis volunteer firefighter who was responding to a weekend blaze was found dead in his vehicle in a field.

KMOV-TV reports that the body of 60-year-old Larry Lawhorn of the Orchard Farm Fire Protection District was found early Sunday. Attempts by emergency responders to revive him at the scene were unsuccessful.

Authorities say Lawhorn was driving to a reported structure fire in St. Charles County’s Portage Des Sioux when the vehicle owned by the fire district left the road and ended up in a field. It wasn’t immediately clear Monday why the vehicle left the road.

The district’s chief, Jeremey Hollrah, says Lawhorn was a hardworking, dedicated member of the district, and his death will be mourned by his colleagues and the community.

NEW YORK (AP) — Families of at least 97 people killed in crashes caused by defective General Motors ignition switches will get compensated by the automaker.

Attorney Kenneth Feinberg, who was hired by GM to compensate victims, updated the total on Monday. It stood at 90 deaths last week.

An additional 179 people who were injured will also receive compensation.

The fund received 4,342 claims by the Jan. 31 deadline, and about 15 percent of the claims are still under review. More than two-thirds were found ineligible or deficient.

GM knew about problem switches in Chevrolet Cobalts and other small cars for more than a decade butrecalled them only last year. They can slip out of the “on” position, causing the cars to stall.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Genetic disorders in children are being explored at the University of Kansas Medical Center with a pairing of next-generation and century-old research methods.

The Lawrence Journal World reports that the new method is a roughly $1 million machine that can sequence a person’s DNA in as fast as two days. The findings are used to create mouse embryos with genetic mutations matching the human profiles being studied. Once the special mice are born and mature, researchers observe them for symptoms that match those reported in the sick child.

Another technique that is used is the old-school maze. A healthy mouse would explore all the arms, while one with cognitive loss would not.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A plan to use bonds for repairs to the Missouri Capitol, universities and other state-owned buildings is moving forward.

A House committee this week outlined how to spend more than $300 million in bonds for building maintenance and new construction.

Projects include about $160 million for colleges and universities. Another $140 million would pay for state building repairs, including $40 million for the Capitol.

But a proposed $15 million cut in general revenue for state parks construction and renovation threatens to derail the plan.

Republican Sen. Mike Parson drafted a list of how senators would like to spend the money, and said he plans to push to keep park funding.

The legislation still needs full House and Senate approval, and lawmakers are short on time. They have until May 8.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Legislative negotiators are close to a consensus on how to fix issues with Missouri’s flawed student transfer system.

The current system requires failing districts to pay for students who choose to attend better-performing schools. That policy has meant financial hardship for some districts.

The heart of the bill is a measure to require students to first switch to better buildings within their district, which might perform well even if the district as a whole struggles.

That’s aimed at keeping students and tuition dollars in their home district.

The tentative agreement reached Thursday would delay implementing the full-scale plan as the State Board of Education works out how to gauge school quality by building.

A final agreement is expected Monday. That proposal will need approval from the full House and Senate.
