Jackson County Executive Frank White was driving to Branson for a golf tournament last year when his phone rang.
“Your house is going to be sold on the courthouse steps tomorrow,” the caller said.

The point of the meeting — which The Star confirmed through multiple sources — was to discuss the Whites’ delinquent mortgage payments.
