Look up the gristly murders of Gary and Jan Tyrrell (2014). I don't remember the address, (Edit: They lived on Greenbriar) but their lovely home was on the SE side of town. I suppose someone else lives there now.

Yes, it’s still there. But it’s also just a regular neighborhood and the neighbors get frustrated when people play tourist (can’t blame them). Keep that in mind if you go, it’s easy enough to find the address though.
ETA: it’s also a private residence of someone now, from what I can tell. Probably best to skip it.

Tutt is buried in Maple Park Cemetery, I think. Corner of Campbell and Grand. The history museum does have an exhibit on it.

Could go to where the Blanchard homicide occurred, just north of Springfield.

The family justice center will work to either place her and her child in a DV shelter or if there is no space available help her with the cost of a hotel room. They can also help with Orders of Protection, child support, and legal concerns related to custody, divorce, and leases.

Winona lodge isn't where the three scouts were murdered, that is down near Mayes County in OK. It is often mistakenly claimed to have happened at Winoka, but no verified murders too place at the lodge

Just travel north of Chestnut.
It's basically a mass grave of the ruin of the 1940s.

There are the Jordan Creek Tunnels, aka the Vampire Tunnels. You can schedule a tour with The Watershed Committee, I believe.
Then there's Winoka Lodge aka the Girl Scout camp where three girls were raped and murdered. I don't know much about that one, but maybe someone else does. Probably not something you should go poking around.

The shootout was on the square between Wild Bill Hickok and Davis Tutt over a pocket watch lost in a poker game. There is a marker showing where Wild Bill stood and it has a diagram of the shootout.
As far as I know it's the only historical case of a movie-style stand-and-draw type duel, it's fairly famous.

there was, and the museum on the square might have info about it, but the only notable thing on the square itself is the plaque about the lynchings of Fred Coker and Horace Duncan
