Spiders force family from of upscale Missouri home
October 10, 2014
(WELDON SPRING, Mo., AP) — Thousands of venomous brown recluse spiders forced a suburban St. Louis family from their nearly half-million-dollar home.
The Trosts sued the home’s former owners and their insurance company in 2008 and were awarded more than $472,000 in a 2011 civil trial, but they never collected.
The former owners declared bankruptcy and the insurance company refused to pay. The Trosts eventually abandoned the home, which overlooks a country club golf course and now is in foreclosure.
