   ST. CHARLES COUNTY, Mo. — A longtime employee with the St. Charles County   
   Ambulance District was charged Tuesday with possession of child sexual   
   abuse material.   
      
   Craig Meckfessel, of Moscow Mills, was charged with three counts of   
   possession of child sexual abuse material by the Lincoln County   
   Prosecuting Attorney's Office. The ambulance district said Meckfessel was   
   a director of facilities until his retirement on Aug. 31, 2025, and had no   
   contact with patients.   
      
   According to the probable cause statement, the investigation started when   
   police received a tip from the National Center For Missing and Exploited   
   Children about suspected child sexual abuse material uploaded to a Google   
   account. Google located 25 additional tips about the same account with   
   approximately 10,000 files of child sexual abuse material.   
      
   Police said the account was registered to a "Craig Fessel" with two email   
   addresses and two phone numbers.   
      
   Police linked the addresses and phone numbers to Meckfessel and conducted   
   a search warrant at his home on Tuesday. During the search, police found a   
   password list that included the email address connected to the Google   
   account.   
      
   In arguing for an increased bond, the probable cause statement said   
   officers found three checks written to Meckfessel from his own retirement   
   account. The checks totalled approximately $2 million, which officers said   
   could be used to flee the area. A judge ordered Meckfessel to be held   
   without bond.
