“My clients were told there was nothing on the site at the very point in time this site had nothing but bad materials in it,” McClain explained.

Investigative reports conducted by the Missouri Department of Natural Resource found that BFI began dumping hazardous chemical waste at a landfill next to the Spences’ home after leasing the property in 1972. The report warned that the chemicals could damage the “central nervous system, kidneys, lungs, gingival tissue and skin,” KSHB reported.

Records showed that BFI shut down the landfill after state and government regulations were strengthened in 1983, but the government did not require the company to clean up the site.
