An emerging threat in the Midwestern area of Springfield, Mo is aimed at remote estates, ranches and farms. Several factors make them easy targets. Many of these locations are far from emergency services and assistance, are widely traversed and have multiple access points, all factors that make it difficult to protect and secure.
