    KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A 40-year-old Olathe man has been charged with first-degree murder after a 72-year-old woman was found dead in a home Saturday evening.

    According to court documents filed Tuesday, Brian Christopher Thode is facing three counts of criminal charges — one count of first-degree murder and two counts of cruelty to animals.
