Size and some other details would help, but...
1. MOST of Missouri's turtles are basically brown with yellow bits.
2. The Eastern or Carolinian Box turtle IS NOT found in Missouri, but you DO have both the Ornate Box and the Three-toed Box.
3. The site below shows a photo of the turtles of Missouri. Check it out for additional help.

it's probably not a turtle but a tortoise, did you find it on the land? Does it have a flat shell of a domed shell? It may be an Eastern Box Tortoise or Western Box Tortoise. I would do a google search in images using the word "tortoise"

Could be an Eastern Box Turtle. Did you find it on land or in a lake?

I don't think turtles have scales, but the slider turtle has yellow streaks on it.
