Two Men Charged with Multiple Offenses in Connection to Berkeley Shooting Death Investigation – RLS Media

Berkeley Township

Ocean County officials have announced that Craig Dillard, 56, of Berkeley Township, has been charged with Possession of a Firearm while Engaged in Drug Activity, Possession of Marijuana with Intent to Distribute, Possession of Marijuana, Receiving Stolen Property and Tampering with Physical Evidence.

County officials have also announced that George Burke, IV, 40, of Freehold Borough, has been charged with Robbery, Conspiracy to Commit Robbery, Possession of a Firearm for an Unlawful Purpose, Unlawful Possession of a Firearm, Certain Person Not to Possess a Firearm, Burglary and Tampering with Physical Evidence.

All charges arise from the same investigation into the shooting death of Jimmy Mosley, 36, of South Toms River, in Berkeley Township on March 9.

According to officials, on March 9, at approximately 10:15 p.m., Officers from the Toms River Township Police Department responded to Community Medical Center for a report of an unresponsive male with a gunshot wound.

The male, subsequently identified as a Jimmy Mosley, was pronounced deceased by the attending physician at 10:28 p.m.

Officials said that on March 10, the Ocean County Medical Examiner performed a post-mortem examination of Mr. Mosley and determined the cause of his death to be a gunshot wound to the back, piercing the lung and lodging in the nasal cavity, and the manner of death to be homicide.

A subsequent investigation by the Ocean County Prosecutors Office Major Crime Unit, Berkeley Township Police Department, and Ocean County Sheriffs Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit determined that Mosley and George Burke went to the residence of Craig Dillard to commit a robbery; both Mosley and Burke were armed with firearms at the time.

The investigation further revealed that Mosley entered Dillards residence while armed with a firearm.

The investigation found that Dillard and Mosley became engaged in a physical altercation upon Mosley entering the residence.

During the course of the altercation, Dillard, who was also armed with a firearm, fired three rounds at Mosley.

Mosley and Burke fled the scene; Mosley was subsequently dropped off at Community Medical Center, where he ultimately succumbed to his injuries.

The previously referenced post-mortem examination revealed that Mosley was shot in the knee, hand, and back.

A subsequent search of Dillards residence revealed that Dillard was in possession of approximately one half-pound of marijuana for distribution purposes.

Additionally, during the course of the investigation, it was learned that Dillard destroyed evidence left at his residence, and Burke destroyed evidence of his involvement with the robbery.

On April 6, Burke was taken into custody without incident at his home in Freehold Borough by the United States Marshals Service.

On April 11, Dillard was taken into custody in Beverly, New Jersey, by Officers from the Edgewater Park Township Police Department.

Both men were transported to the Ocean County Jail, where they will remain lodged pending a detention hearing.

This was truly a team effort in terms of the depth and comprehensiveness of this investigation. These detectives combed through the evidence and were ultimately able to piece together what transpired in Berkeley Township on the night of March 9, 2022, Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer said.

Law enforcement was able to establish very early on in the investigation that there was no immediate danger to the public. From there, these Detectives went to work doing their absolute best to solve these crimes. Every law enforcement officer involved in this investigation has my profound gratitude, Prosecutor Billhimer concluded.

University of Bradford students practice CSI skills – Telegraph and Argus

UNIVERSITY of Bradford postgraduate students practised real crime scene investigation skills during a dig on campus.

Students from the MSc in Forensic Archaeology and Crime Scene Investigation programme, were set a task to unearth a series of buried objects, and record their activities using skills commensurate with police CSI practice.

Associate Professor Robert Janaway, a forensic archaeologist with over 35 years experience, who has worked with a number of police forces and delivered training both here and abroad, said: We run a mixture of simulated crime scene experience days. On this occasion, students were involved in an early excavation to recover a number of buried objects.

"The techniques they use are the same that would be used in a police investigation, both in terms of recording and recovering material. They also have to carry out and record things like witness statements."

He added: Students from this course go on to a variety of things - some undertake PhDs, others go on to work as professional archaeologists and the police.

Student Emily Dobson, who was on the dig, said: Its really interesting to be able to get hands-on experience, especially with things we have learned about in the classroom.

Fellow student Marie-Clare Gilbertson added: These exercises enable us to gain practical skills and things like that are valuable when you come to apply for a job.

Chloe-Jade Carr, also on the course, said: "The lecturers make the practicals and content of the lectures so relevant and engaging that the skills I have learned can help me when I apply to become a detective after I have completed my masters."

Manchester Man Gets 6 Years In Fatal Hit-And-Run In Whiting – Patch

MANCHESTER, NJ A Manchester man has been sentenced to six years in prison in a fatal hit-and-run in April 2021, the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office announced Friday.

Kevin Noonan, 63, of Manchester, was sentenced to prison on the charge of knowingly leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident resulting in death by Superior Court Judge Lisa A. Puglisi. Puglisi also suspended Noonan's driving privileges for two years on that charge, and for an additional year on a charge of leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident resulting in injury or death, along with a $2,500 fine, Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer said.

Noonan had pleaded guilty on Feb. 14 to the charges in connection with the April 13, 2021, death of Jack Gotfried, 69, of Whiting.

Noonan had stopped at Gotfried's home on Yorktowne Parkway in Whiting to pick up furniture Gotfried was giving away, authorities said.

In the process of loading the furniture onto Noonan's vehicle, Noonan backed up at what authorities said was "a high rate of speed" and hit Gotfried, pinning him between the back of Noonan's vehicle and a truck that was parked in front of Gotfried's house. Noonan then took off, leaving Gotfried lying in the road with traumatic injuries. Gotfried was taken to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune but succumbed to his injuries, authorities said.

Authorities later found Noonan walking along Western Boulevard in Lacey, and he was arrested by a detective from the prosecutor's office, Billhimer said. He has been held at the Ocean County Jail since his arrest.

Supervising Assistant Prosecutor Robert Cassidy and Assistant Prosecutor Victoria Veni who handled the case on behalf of the state. The Prosecutor's Office Vehicular Homicide Unit, Manchester Township Police Department, and Ocean County Sheriff's Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit investigated.

The Neighborhood Sanctuary to be family-friendly destination in Columbus – Lincoln Journal Star

HANNAH SCHRODTThe Columbus Telegram

One local womans vision of transforming an old, vacant church into a Columbus destination has become a reality. New short-term rental lodging, The Neighborhood Sanctuary, 3770 18th Ave., is quickly approaching completion and will have an open house in early April.

Shae Spitz, a realtor at kwElite, closed on the property on May 7, 2021. The single unit has four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Construction started around July of last year but has been delayed because of material shortages.

The building was essentially gutted; everything but a few items in it are new.

The only thing that's still original would be just the original wood that you see around the windows. And around some of the door frames, Spitz said.

(We) completely did the entire outside. New sewer line so we had to connect to city sewer, new water lines -- we had to connect to city water because it was on its own well and septic.

Spitz has been a Realtor for three-and-a-half years, but she and her husband, Adam, have been renovating properties for a little longer than that.

Adam Spitz noted his reaction in seeing the property for the first time and Shaes idea for the renovation.

(I) probably had some choice words like, No way. I didn't see it, but she has an eye that I don't, either, he said.

It couldn't have turned out any better. Definitely turned out awesome. I don't think I could have ever done it.

He said that while hes helped out with odds and ends type of work such as moving furniture the vision has been all of Shaes. Shae added that Adam provided emotional support during the rezoning process. They attempted to rezone the property to convert the building into two units the second unit would have been in the structures basement but that did not get approved, so there is just one unit.

When asked about the inspiration behind The Neighborhood Sanctuary, Shae Spitz noted that she always needs to keep busy.

I was bored one day at my office and I had to sell another property and I thought, OK, well, where do I need to put my money? What can I do? Spitz said, noting that she started thinking about the rental shortage in Columbus.

I've got a lot of people asking me, Hey, is there a location where we could host a bridal shower, baby shower, where our family could come and stay as well? Aside from the (Hidden Treasurer) Loft downtown or a couple different places, there really wasn't.

The Neighborhood Sanctuary, 3770 18th Ave. in Columbus, is a new short-term rental renovated by local realtor Shae Spitz. The building, which previously housed a church, has been completely gutted and remodeled into a four bedroom, two bath rental available on Airbnb.

Spitzs hope for the rental is that it becomes a destination for families family gatherings, family events and family holidays.

Although the building is not complete, Spitz said, the property already has four bookings, the first being Easter weekend.

Even though the people who are hosting live here in town, their family is coming from out of town and they're like, I don't want to worry about cleaning my house. I don't want to have to worry about where everybody's going to be staying. So they just book this and they're having their entire Easter here, she said.

Spitz said theres a convenience factor in utilizing an Airbnb-type of rental. Also, the area is family friendly, she said.

I think that's what a lot of people nowadays like, is the convenience of things, and I think it's very cozy, the neighborhood, Spitz said. That's why we named The Neighborhood Sanctuary, is to give it the idea and the feel that it's family friendly. It's not a place to come and party and rage.

People who have seen The Neighborhood Sanctuary on social media may have noticed that there are no pictures of the inside of the building. Spitz said the inside will be unveiled during an open house April 7 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Cork and Barrel will be serving drinks at the open house, and there will be appetizers and giveaways. The public is invited.

Spitz added that with The Neighborhood Sanctuary nearly done, she has started connecting with other local businesses to offer discounts to customers.

Adam Spitz said a sign-in book will be available at the rental.

Anytime we would stay at those (Airbnbs) I always read through them just to see how many people come through from different areas. So those are kind of cool.

People who drive by The Neighborhood Sanctuary will notice a sign with a QR code on it. They can use that code to find out more about the rental.

A sign in front of The Neighborhood Sanctuary,3770 18th Ave. in Columbus, has a QR code that people can scan to be directed to the rental's website. The rental can be booked through Airbnb or Vrbo. Owner Shae Spitz said on Wednesday that the unit already has four bookings, the first of which is set for Easter weekend.

Spitz noted the new developments coming to Columbus, such as the Columbus Community Building and expected casino. The rental will be a good option for people visiting for those amenities, she added.

With the children's museum and the casino coming up, I think it's a very good location, she said. All the other Airbnbs are downtown, where this is more in a neighborhood, more family friendly. And (you can) jump on the bypass and go whichever direction you want.

Anyone who wants to admire and envy the world's biggest stars needs only to look on Instagram. From A-list movie stars and major musicians to pro ball players and comedians who landed their own sitcoms, there's no shortage of evidence of just how good the good life is. They post pictures of themselves with other big shots on rooftop bars, at exclusive clubs, at backstage parties, and at restaurants where regular people can't get a reservation.

But the vast majority of these celebrities were born and raised outside of Hollywood, finding their way to the bright lights and big money of superstardom from obscure beginnings in regular small towns and cities across the country.

Fifth seasons the last for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel – Boston Herald

You have questions. I have some answers.Was the scene with Midge and Lenny Bruce in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel really filmed at Carnegie Hall? I am so sorry there will only be one more season of the show. What a terrific cast.The Amazon Prime Video show enjoyed a three-day shoot in the real Carnegie Hall, the New York Daily News reported last June. That was as the hall was coming out of its COVID-related shutdown, so Maisel did not have to work around concert performances. And the Daily News noted that Carnegies fastidious upkeep and devotion to its history meant that the show did not have to do much to make it look the way it did in the early 60s period of that Maisel episode, which was finale of the eight-episode fourth season. A fifth season will indeed be the shows last. And while I understand your enthusiasm about the cast, I am among those who found Season 4 disappointing.

I am wondering about American Ninja Warrior. It used to be on an NBC Sports channel and suddenly the channel and show disappeared.

NBCUniversal shut down its sport channel NBCSN at the end of last year and has moved its programming to other services including USA Network and to the companion streaming service Peacock. When the decision to drop NBCSN was announced a little over a year ago, the Wall Street Journal noted that the sports channel had struggled competitively against other sports operations. USA was also losing audience, so by putting popular sports on the USA channel, NBCUniversal is hoping it can increase its value of USA Network to distributors. Having more sports on USA will also make it a more viable competitor to TBS and TNT which also carry a mix of entertainment and sports, the paper said.

As for American Ninja Warrior, that was being shown in repeats on NBCSN with episodes airing first on the NBC broadcast network. A new season, the shows 14th, is in the works. And there are repeats out there, including on Peacock and the Bally Sports channels.

I am an avid William Petersen fan and watched every episode of the original CSI: Crime Scene Investigation in which he starred. Last season he returned in CSI: Vegas but now it seems to have disappeared. What happened, and will it return?

CSi: Vegas, which blended some veterans of the old series with a new cast, made 10 episodes of its first season and aired them all. (As I have said before, TV series seasons vary considerably in the number of episodes.) The show has been picked up for a second run to air sometime in the 2022-23 season. But Petersen, who reprised his role of Gil Grissom on the new series, reportedly signed on only for the first season as an actor and will not be on camera in the second season (he remains an executive producer). In addition, Jorja Fox who played Grissoms colleague and lover will not be back for the second season either. As Grissom goes, she tweeted, so goes Sara.
