These bitter colds claimed half dozen lives across the area. A few were found on the streets, like an 86yearold man in allentown that died just steps from his door, and dr. Walter hoffman did the autopsy on five of the bodies. These are the folks that fall through the cracks and it is very frustrating to have preventible deaths and no one does anything about it. Dr. Hoffman says that hypothermia can set in within an hour and more quickly in water earlier this week an elderly couple lost heat to their home. And they stayed in a hotel and he got concerned that the house was empty and someone may break in so he moved back into the house and she stayed one night and came back to the hotel, and came back again and he was founded.

Murder charges have been filed against the man that allegedly killed his coworker at the plant yesterday, peter adam stabbed Danny Vazquez to Death Outside of the facility yesterday the conflict was sparked by a prank when vazquez tried to pull a chair out from underneath him.

Ten years is too long to wait for justice for two people that did nothing wrong and did not deserve this. Her son richard and his friend danielle disappeared. They left a bar and headed to his pickup truck and simply vanished. Investigators say it was not an accident, and no crime of opportunity. They say they were the victims of a professional hit job. This just didnt happen we feel it was an orchestrated act. Two people and a truck do not simply go missing. But who would want them dead. No one is ruled out as a suspect at this time. We are going back and looking at the leads we have covered in the past. The fbi is dedicating new resources to reexamine the evidence collected so far with fresh eyes but they admit the key is help from the public from someone that knows who was involved. Whoever comes forward could collect a 50,000 reward. You come down and we got the cash.
