Twentyfive year old young mother kidnapped as she just got done work at retail job, here at the busy Port Richmond village huge Super Shopping center, it is right off 95, right at the girard avenue exit.

Dollar stores, kidnapping doesnt get any dumber than this one.

But someone else new about the crime. And new their next crime, this kidnapping with about to take place, they tipoff the undercover detectives, down to the license plate of the red Jeep Cherokee, kidnapper crew was showing up in. Four people, maybe five, including the woman driving t and just like the informant told them, red jeep showed up two, guys get out of the back seat, force the 25 year old retail work r into her own back seat, then they may take off, the both of them, vehicles take off, and the detectives follow them, and they get them, not too far away from there, as the kidnappers crash the camry right under 95, and police may soon find the rest of this kidnap crew, because they did find the jeep abandoned nearby, as women. Solving both this crime, and some other home invasions, and so this kidnapping meant to hide their previous crimes, will ends up revealing them as this now takes the lead suddenly for stupid crime of the month already on february 1st, just hours in. My god. Thats a close call. Okay, we got your peaches song now.

President trump tapped neil gorsuch to fill the vac anti on the Supreme Court. Prizing this nomination, but Senate Democrats are pledge to go fight this. Lauren johnson all over it in the news room. Lauren . Reporter the youngest Supreme Court nominee in a quarter century, 49 year old from denver known for clear writing, defense of religious freedom, last night President Trump nominated the fast rising conservative judge, some democrats have vowed to vigorously challenge any nominee, because Senate Republicans refuse to consider obamas pick saying the seat should only be filled after the november election. On the other side of the aisle, tuesday nights nomination was cheered by conservatives, if confirmed by the senate, gorsuch would fill the seat left vacant by the death of antoine scalia. He calls scalia a lion of the law. Mr. President , mr. Vice president , you and your team have shown me great courtesy in this process. You have even fostered me with most solemn assignment. Standing here, in a house of history, and accute willing zeroly aware every my own imperfections, i pledge if i am confirm i will do all my powers permit to be a fateful servant of the constitution laws of this great country. As this process now moves to the senate, i look forward with speaking with members from both sides of the aisle. To answering their questions, and to hearing their concerns. I consider the United States senate the greatest deliberate tiff body in the world. And i respect the Important Role the constitution affords it and the confirmation of our judges. Some republicans are thrilled that at this chance to fill one of the High Court Seats to balance out political experience, if confirmed, gorsuch would restore the court to the conservative tilt it held with scalia on the bench, he like the other eight justices on the court have Ivy League Law degree, his mother was the first woman to lead the Environmental Protection agency, yes, mike and alex. People are saying he probably spent a lot of time in d. C. As a younger person, he get into government and politics back then. Yes. And the fact that he was a clerk. A clerk. To the Supreme Court. Hes familiar. Some people in the Trump Administration not thrilled with the epa to begin with. Interesting. A brutal attack by a group of men leads a man hospitalized in south philadelphia. What police say those suspect were after. And he was forced to lever a sick mother in iraq. Now this u. S. Citizen will never see her alive again. Why this man is blaming the president S Immigration travel ban for the death of his mom. It is 6 11. According to police, group picked a victim at random. They knock him to the grounds, then continue to punch and kick him. As you can see in this video. It happened last month along the 1200 block every south broad street. But this video was just released. Police say the attackers tried to steel the mans phone, but they ended up running off without it. They may have seen him walking down the street at some point in time. Maybe thought that he was an easy target. Because his cell phone being in his hand, or he was distract in the some way. The victim ended up in the hospital. If you recognize any of the men in this video, youre asked to call police. You will recognize this guy, his name is bob kelly.

What we dont have is precipitation. Not expecting any today. 49 degrees, a lot of cloud cover, but still, close to 50, 42 for groundhog day tomorrow. And a lot of sunshine. Then the coal air settles in on friday. Stays with us saturday, sunday. Possibility of rain and or snow afternoon and evening, is what it looks like right now, for superbowl sunday.

So, south 95, there is no access to the blue route, this morning, heading northbound out of delaware county. So couple of options, as you get ready to head out the front door. You can think ahead, jump off here at ridley, exit eight. That will work your way up fairview avenue, than runs parallel to the blue route. Or folks are bypassing the closure point, the next exit is the exit number six here, for route 320. It is the exit for widener university. Basically up the top of the ramp, make a left, and another lefter, and right back onto 95. Basically, the classic uturn, than will put you back onto 95 and access to the blue route. Hot mess here in delco. This morning, because they have to handoff load the peaches from the truck before they can upright the tractortrailer. And another tractortrailer accident, this one here, at least it is standing on its wheels, not overturned. This is the vine expressway, westbound, approaching the schuylkill expressway.
