Nationwide, America's police departments solved almost 62 percent of all reported homicide.

That figure varies widely from state-to-state and city-to-city, however. While more than 90 percent of all murders are solved in 36 states, there are some parts of the country where more murders go unsolved than solved and in 22 cities, the homicide clearance rate is below 40 percent.

Using Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Report data from 2005 to 2015, 24/7 Wall Street determined where the homicide closure rate is the lowest - in other words, the places where it's easiest to get away with murder.

At number 11 on the list was the Birmingham/Hoover area. From 2005-2015, there were 1,140 reported murders in the metro area with a homicide clearance rate of only 34 percent.

While Birmingham's clearance rate is low, it's almost double that of Flint, Michigan, the city ranked as the number one place in America to get away with murder. From 2005 to 2015, there were 577 homicides in Flint, Michigan but police only solved 17.5 percent of those cases.

Welcome to Wednesday's Wake Up Call. Let's see what's going on:

Couple pleads guilty to hoarding 170 dogs

A San Diego County couple has pleaded guilty to hoarding more than 170 Yorkshire terriers and Yorkies in what officials describe as filthy conditions.

Christine Calvert and Mark Vattimo pleaded guilty to animal neglect after dozens of dogs were found in a dark room in their house. The floors and walls of the room were covered in excrement and the dogs had a variety of health problems.

The couple faces probation and counseling and can't own pets for a decade.

The dogs were treated and later put up for adoption.

Legionnaires' disease traced to Florida gyms

Four cases of Legionnaires' disease have been traced to two LA Fitness gyms in Florida's Orange County, health officials said. Health officials said inspections at two of the chain's gyms found conditions in its showers were favorable for the bacteria.

Legionnaires' disease is spread by the Legionella bacteria, which can grow and multiply in various parts of a building's water system. The bacterial infection can spread when someone inhales mist from contaminated water.

Painting found in garage may be worth millions

A painting found in a cluttered Arizona garage - believed to be the work of Jackson Pollock - could fetch up to $15 million at an auction next week.

The painting belonged a Sun City, Arizona retiree who was related to a New York art collector. It measures 22 by 32 inches and is being sold "as is" with damage from by moisture, heat and smoke.

The painting has not been confirmed as a Pollock, though experts believe it is. A private investigator hired by auctioneers said they believe the painting is one of Pollock's missing gouaches produced in the period of 1945-1949.

Until tomorrow.
