Wife Poisons Hubby's Roids

A Delaware woman is accused of killing her husband by tainting his supply of steroids with a poisonous ingredient found in anti-freeze.

James Baker’s wife Jamie alerted police to their Smyrna home after she found her husband dead in their bedroom on Sept. 16.

Postmortem tests revealed the Baker, 42, died from Ethylene Glycol poisoning -- Ethylene Glycol is a chemical commonly found in anti-freeze. The medical examiner ruled the death a homicide by poisoning and police launched an investigation.

Police found that Baker had ordered liquid steroids online in June to share with a friend. Police found that Baker’s plan was to keep the steroids in his toolbox.

Police searched Baker’s Bryn Zion Road home Thursday. While in the home, police said that Baker’s wife Jamie told investigators that she had used a hypodermic syringe to pull anti-freeze from a container in the couple’s garage and then injected several bottles of her husband’s steroids with the chemical.

Jamie Baker, 44, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and related counts. She was held without bail.

Plane Evacuation 'Selfie' Backlash

0

One woman aboard the US Airways flight that came crashing down during an aborted liftoff Thursday evening decided to capture as many moments of the frightening ordeal as possible.

Taking to Twitter and Instagram, passenger Hannah Udren posted a frantic video of herself running away from the smoky plane during the evacuation at Philadelphia International Airport. She also posted several photos, including a "selfie," which shows emergency vehicles and the aircraft, nose-down just yards away behind her.

Udren was one of 149 passengers aboard Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-bound US Airways Flight 1702's scheduled departure at 6:25 p.m. on Thursday. 

According to airport officials, the front wheel of the aircraft blew out, causing the front of the plane to crash into the runway.

NBC10 spoke to Udren at Philly International, shortly after the evacuation. She said she just wanted to capture the moment.

“I wanted to show my parents everyone running, and like just what was going on," Udren said.

"Like I’m far enough away, I was one of the first people out of the plane. So, I just took my phone out and I was like OK, I’ll take a video.”

Since the incident, Udren’s video and photos of the crash landing have been a hot topic on social media.

As of Friday morning, Udren’s "plane crash selfie" had been retweeted nearly 4,000 times and favorited nearly 3,000 times. But comments and replies to the posts revealed mixed reactions among the public.

Some replied to the posts offering well wishes.

Others questioned Udren’s decision to take and post the images even while the incident was still unfolding.

Otheres came to her defense:

While Udren has received a lot of attention for her photo, she is not the first person to take a selfie during an aircraft emergency.

In January, a professor at Georgetown University tweeted photos during an emergency landing. The professor, Shashi Bellamkonda, tweeted multiple photos while he was still aboard the flight, wearing an oxygen mask, and after the flight made a safe landing at an airport in Wilmington, Del.

The Red Cross is assisting a family of four who was displaced by the fire.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
 

NJ Foreclosure Rate at 8-Year High

0
0

Home foreclosure filings skyrocketed in Atlantic City in February compared with the same month last year, an increase linked to the state’s legal processes and the lingering effects of Hurricane Sandy.

One out of every 398 homes in Atlantic City had a foreclosure related filing, a 254 percent jump from the same month a year ago, according to a new report from Irvine, Calif.-based RealtyTrac Inc., a housing data provider.

“After Sandy there was a foreclosure moratorium in parts of the New Jersey coast,” said Daren Blomquist, RealtyTrac Vice President. “And the other issue there is you have homeowners who had houses that were damaged and the rehab wasn’t covered by insurance so those homeowners might be more motivated to just walk away.”

New Jersey had a total of 4,810 homes with a foreclosure-related filing in February, an increase of 108 percent from the same month last year, the report shows.

With one out of every 739 homes incurring a foreclosure-related filing in February, the Garden State climbed to the fourth highest foreclosure rate among all 50 states, the first time it cracked the top five since October 2005.

New Jersey, along with Pennsylvania and Delaware, is a judicial state, meaning all foreclosures are processed through the state’s courts.

“That is a factor,” Blomquist said. “The courts may have slowed things down to ensure that foreclosures were done properly.”

Aside from New Jersey, Florida, which has the highest foreclosure rate in the country, and fifth-ranked Illinois are judicial states. Maryland and Nevada, which have the second and third highest rates, are not.

Even though New Jersey is going against the national trend, across the country foreclosure related filings plummeted 27 percent, Blomquist cautions that the situation is not completely dire.

“It is not a ‘sky is falling’ situation,” he said. “But it is going to have a negative impact on the market in the short-term as it absorbs this distress. It will weigh down home prices and home values in the short-term.”

The report shows one out of every 50 homes in the Philadelphia metro region, which includes Camden and Wilmington, had a foreclosure filing in February, nearly a 20 percent jump from February 2013.

But the New Jersey counties that fall in the Philly metro area likely spurred the rise, Blomquist said.

Filings in Pennsylvania fell 5 percent, while Delaware remained flat with a 1 percent increase.

SEPTA Union Won't Strike

The Transit Workers Union announced Friday afternoon that they will stay on the job even though their contract with SEPTA expires at midnight.

"We're willing to go the extra mile to reach a fair agreement," TWU Local 234 President Willie Brown said in a press release Friday.

Negotiations continued Friday between the Transport Workers Union Local 234 and SEPTA but as of Friday afternoon no deal was in place.

The TWU, SEPTA contract concerns about 4,700 bus drivers, trolley and subway operators and maintenance employees -- nearly half of SEPTA’s total work force.

Contracts for the suburban transit divisions expire next month.

"We're not willing to sign on to a lengthy contract extension or make hasty decisions having a long-term effect on our members' family finances.

Should a strike eventually occur, Regional Rail should continue to operate since those operators work under other contracts. CCT, the Norristown High-Speed Line and suburban trolley and bus routes will continue to operate, according to SEPTA.

SEPTA held a news conference Friday morning “to announce that, in the event of a City Transit Division service interruption, alternate service plans have been prepared.”

Part of the contingency plan is that buses that normally go into the city would stop at a suburban train station so that passengers could get onto Regional Rail.

SEPTA plans on having "ambassadors" on hand to help commuters should the strike happen.

Transit union workers last went on strike after the World Series in 2009 -- a work stoppage that lasted six days.

Robber Steals $7K From Rite Aid

A man, who asked to see large-sized greeting cards, made off with $7,000 in cash after robbing a Northeast Philadelphia Rite Aid drug store.

The hold-up took place just after 4 p.m. at the Rite Aid located on the 8100 block of Roosevelt Boulevard in the Rhawnhurst section of the city, Philadelphia Police said.

Police say the man, described as 35-years-old with a goatee, walked up to the store's manager and asked for help to find the large greeting cards.

While the manager was assisting the man, police say he claims to have a gun and says "Don't make a noise. Now, let's go get the money."

The man then directs the manager and several other employees to the back office where he has them take money from two safes, according to investigators. 

One safe, equipped with a timed lock, could not be opened for 15 minutes. Police say the man waited, holding the employees hostage until the safe could be opened and that money taken.

Once the safes were cleared, the man then left the office and went to empty two of the store's cash registers, police say. He also swiped multiple cartons of cigarettes.

The man then fled on foot holding a blue bag with white handles, police say.

Investigators initially thought the workers had been tied up, but police later said that was not the case. There was also one customer in the store.

No one was hurt.

The entire robbery was captured on surveillance video. NBC10.com has requested a copy of the video from investigators.

The man remains at large.

Interfaith Group Wants You to Vote

0
0

Local interfaith group Philadelphians Organized to Witness Empower & Rebuild (POWER) wants to make sure voters get out to the polls for Pennsylvania's upcoming primary and gubernatorial elections.

POWER recently launched a campaign to get more than 5,000 voters to the polls in May and November.

Several of POWER's 41 Muslim, Jewish, and Christian member congregations recently participated in a "Voter Sabbath" event, during which clergy leaders delivered sermons about the importance of voting. The group also stationed several of its member congregation leaders at locations throughout the city where they asked people to fill out voter commitment cards.

Reverend Greg Holston is pastor of the New Vision United Methodist Church in the Logan section of the city. His church participated in the "Voter Sabbath" event and is one of POWER's member congregations.

Holston said the event and POWER's continued voter outreach will be critical to getting people to vote in this year's elections.

"It was a great day where people of faith came together to discuss the issues that face our city and affect the people we are ministering to. We’re confident that the people are concerned about these issues. If we can just give them confidence that these local elections matter, I believe they will show up and vote," Holston said.

The "Voter Sabbath" event reeled in some 1,200 voter commitment cards. In addition, roughly 20 new volunteers signed up to help with the group's larger voter outreach campaign.

Executive Director of POWER, Bishop Dwayne Royster said the group hopes to reach 45,000 potential voters by the May 20th election, and 100,000 by Nov. 4.

For the next eight weeks, POWER volunteers and members will be participating in campaign-styled phone banking sessions, additional "Voter Sabbath" days, and door-to-door outreach.

POWER is also asking voters to support a fair funding formula for Philadelphia's school districts and a minimum wage ballot question in the primary election, which if approved, would enforce a minimum wage of $10.88 per hour.

Whether the group's efforts will translate into more voters at the polls remains to be seen, but Holston and Royster say they are optimistic.

"It's going to be a challenge, but people of faith--which we are--we always believe that things can happen if we put our trust in God and do our work with our hands. We’ll continue to raise these issues every way we can to get the word out that every election is important," Holston said.

"We believe that it's going to make a big difference and we think it’s a powerful statement that people of faith are coming together to talk about these issues because these are not just civil issues, they're moral issues," Royster said. "I believe it's going to translate in a very large way."

POWER congregations will be doing phone bank shifts this Sunday at Mother Bethel AME Church at 6th & Lombard St., as well as on some weekday evenings in different locations across the city. For more information about POWER's voter outreach campaign visit www.powerphiladelphia.org.

Story of American Hikers in Prison

0
0

More than two years have passed since three American hikers, held hostage in Iran, returned to the U.S. It's a harrowing experience Shane Bauer, Sarah Shourd and Cheltenham High School alum Joshua Fattal document in the book A Sliver of Light.

Since arriving stateside in September 2011, the three friends have been adjusting to life outside of prison walls. Shourd and Bauer married in a May 2012 ceremony in California. Fattal lives in Brooklyn, N.Y. with his partner, Jenny Borhman and their 7-month-old son, Isaiah.

NBC10.com talked to 31-year-old Fattal, who grew up in Elkins Park, Pa., about their story, which details the trio’s entire experience from the moment they began their hiking trip in Iraqi Kurdistan to the instant the two men were reunited with their families 781 days after their capture.

You, Shourd and Bauer wrote A Sliver of Light in the present tense, weaving together one another’s narratives. Why did you decide to share your story in this way?

"We decided the best way to let people feel as close as possible to our experience would be to write in the present tense, which was the most difficult part as a writer. We wrote the scenes and then put them into chronological order. At no point do we jump back and reflect."

There are many mentions of God and spirituality throughout the book. In particular, the portions you wrote describe a struggle with Judaism during your incarceration.

"In solitary confinement, my mind was hounding me. I was trying to find a reason for my punishment. So I thought of every possible way that I was guilty of something. And one of my biggest fears was that the interrogators would know that I was Jewish with an Israeli father and they would use that to punish me extra. I felt like I needed to hide that. Then at a certain point in the desperation of my total isolation, I realized I didn’t do anything wrong and I especially didn’t do anything wrong by being born into the family I was born into."

Despite that realization, there were still moments where your background haunted you?

"Yes, the guards would feel my anxiety. They’d say to me Jew, Jewish, no problem and I’d relax for a moment. He’d point to me and say ‘Moses.’ Then he’d point down the hall where my friends presumably were and say ‘Jesus’ and he’d point to himself and say ‘Mohammad’ and then he’d close his hands and say, ‘One God.’"

Despite the anxiety, you write in the book, “I look forward to interrogations, but they come only once a week.”

"The hardest part of prison was the first month for me, I was in complete isolation. I just needed something to look forward to. It gave me hope that the process was moving forward. Interrogation gave me someone to talk to. I at least got to explain myself. This is why I was hiking; this is why I lived my life up to this point. In my cell alone, my mind would ask me these questions. Sometimes I’d sit in interrogation for four or six hours. If I didn’t have interrogation that day, those four hours would go a lot slower."

You spent the first few weeks of your imprisonment in solitary confinement and came up with many different ways to pass the time. You even write, “sweeping the floor with my hands is one of my favorite activities.” What else did you do to break up the 781 days behind bars?

"I remember there was one wafer wrapper in my pocket and that was as much as I had to entertain myself for 30 days. The days are so boring; you have to have something to do. We write about trying to make alcohol from fermenting fruit. I found a great strategy was having as many holidays as possible. I tried to remember every holiday I could. I celebrated birthdays, half-birthdays, family’s birthdays."

Speaking of birthdays, you turned 28 and 29 while you were inside an Iranian prison. What was that like?

"They gave Sarah a cake on her birthday, so I realized that my birthday could be an excuse for [the guards] to give me something. I decided to go on a campaign, but, of course, when my birthday came they didn’t give me anything. But I told Shane I still want to make the day special. I want to sit at a table. So we deconstructed the bed and rearranged its pieces so it would somewhat resemble a table. We sat to eat dinner that day."

You also write how helpful letters you received from your then-friend and now-partner, Jenny, helped keep you sane during solitary: “I’d been hoping she was thinking of me. I have been thinking of her – wishing I’d gone back to America to date her instead of visiting Shane and Sarah.” What was it like reuniting with Jenny?

"I’ve known her since I was a child. But the complication was that I wasn’t adjusted to free life for awhile. We had to move really slowly at first because I had to learn how to handle the complexities of life. Getting a driver’s license, learning how to have conversations with more than two people a day, figuring out how to make a decision from a restaurant menu. I needed to stop losing my keys every couple of days because I had forgotten how to be responsible for them."

And now you have a son together. How do you imagine 7-month-old Isaiah will find out about this period in your life?

"I feel like it will come up naturally. I can imagine him running home from a friends’ house and saying, ‘Daddy, I just saw a TV show and they put all the bad people in prison and it was great.’ And maybe I’ll sit him down and say, ‘You know daddy was in prison and daddy wasn’t a bad guy. Life isn’t always so black and white.’ Hopefully, somehow, what I went through will benefit him in some way."

Fattal is currently studying the interrelationship between law and social movements as part of a Ph.D. program in history at New York University. A Sliver of Light will be available wherever books are sold beginning March 18.

Snowy St. Patrick's Day Expected

0
0

All the St. Patrick’s Day green could be covered up in white as yet another winter storm is set to blanket parts of the area in snow.

NBC10 First Alert Meteorologist Glenn “Hurricane” Schwartz says the winter weather system has a 60 percent chance of dropping 4 inches of snow or more by Monday across a large portion of the area.

The storm, which developed off the west coast of the United States, is currently racing across the country and should arrive by Sunday evening delivering a mix of snow, sleet and rain. However, the worst of the storm won’t come until overnight, Hurricane says.

The morning rush could be affected by the storm, depending on how much snow actually falls.

The latest computer models show that much of South Jersey and Delaware could see the worst of the storm. According to Hurricane, those areas have a 60 percent chance of getting the highest accumulations.

Philadelphia and parts of the Pa. suburbs have a lesser chance, 40 percent, of seeing more than 4 inches of snow from the storm. And Hurricane says the Lehigh Valley may not see any snow at all.

Earlier on Friday, the storm had been taking a more northern track, but a shift south moved the target.

Hurricane says the snow will continue to fall until around 1 p.m. Monday the storm finally moves out. The winds will pick up, however.

As the storm moves closer, Hurricane says the NBC10 First Alert Weather Team will be able to gather more data about just how much snow will fall.

Local Girl Battles Rare Disease

0
0

The Disney movie Frozen plays on the family room television as 7-year-old Stephanie Johns, clad in a gray t-shirt that reads, “Dreams Do Come True” and cloud-covered navy pajama pants, goofs off with her 5-year-old brother, Harrison, and 3-year-old sister, Lauren. But the seemingly typical bedtime routine could be interrupted at any moment if the second grader suffers a seizure due to a rare disease.

“It is always being on guard, wondering what is going to come next,” said Stephanie’s Mom, Colleen Johns, 42, of Narberth.

A desire to quell that uncertainty and obtain more funding for medical research led the Johns family to Capitol Hill, where Stephanie stood beside Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick when he called for continued research funding for Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) last Wednesday.

"Having Stephanie on the House floor with me put my call for TSC research funding beyond just words -- it showed my colleagues onboth side of the aisle the face of a courageous young girl fighting this real life condition," said Fitzpatrick, who is a member of the Rare Disease Caucus. "She represents every child across our nation who stands to benefit from targeting our efforts to beat TSC."

The Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance are thankful for Stephanie's bravery and for the attention the politician and child brought to the disorder.

“It is the first time a Congressman has gone on the floor and mentioned this disease,” said Jaye Isham, a Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance spokesman. “For our community, just to hear those words soak in on the floor of Congress is a huge thing.”

TSC is a genetic disorder that causes non-malignant tumors to form in many organs, including the brain, heart, kidneys, eyes and skin, according to the Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance website.

While the tumors are not cancerous, their locations can cause a myriad of problems, including seizures, headaches, nausea, learning disabilities and behavioral issues.

“It is like walking through a minefield,” Isham said. “Parents don’t know what is going to happen the next day.”

“Looking at her, you wouldn’t know she has tumors all over,” said Colleen while recalling Stephanie’s last seizure that occurred when she was about 3 ½ years old.

“[My husband and I] were awake watching TV and she was lying between us,” Colleen said. “She just sat up and her lips started smacking and they were blue.”

Stephanie, who recently switched schools to help accommodate her learning needs, is actually quite fortunate considering she hasn’t suffered a seizure since then, said Colleen, who has met others affected by TSC who have as many as 30 seizures a day.

“There is a huge variability in how patients with TSC present,” said Dr. Mustafa Sahin, a neurology specialist at Boston Children’s Hospital who researches the disease.

Isham added, “I’ve met adults with it who are in wheelchairs and have to wear diapers and helmets, and then I’ve met other people [with TSC] who have PhDs and are physicians.”

Approximately 1 million people worldwide and 50,000 Americans have been diagnosed with TSC.
 
Nearly one-third of those affected inherited a mutated gene from one of their parents, while the remaining two-thirds – including Stephanie – got TSC when a spontaneous and unpredictable genetic mutation occurred during conception or in the early development stages of the human embryo.

Yet much about the disease, which affects more people in the U.S. than better-known disorders like cystic fibrosis or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s disease), remains unknown.

“We believe a better understanding of TSC can give us clues about epilepsy, autism, intellectual disability, cancer, [and] metabolic diseases such as diabetes,” Dr. Sahin said. “The cellular pathway centrally involved in TSC is critical in normal development and many disease processes.”

The National Institute of Health reports research and treatment projects for TSC received about $20 million in funding in 2013. For comparison, about $39 million was allotted towards Lou Gehrig’s disease in 2013 and nearly $78 million towards cystic fibrosis.
 
“Most of the research done in TSC has been done in cancer cells,” Dr. Sahin said. “But to understand TSC and its effects in the brain better, we need to focus on the role of TSC genes in nerve cells.”

Stephanie, who has regular checkups with more than seven specialists and her primary care doctor, doesn’t fully understand the extent of her condition yet, but understood the gravity of standing on the Congressional floor, Colleen said.

Colleen says, “She knows going to Congress was really important because she was helping people.”

It's Curtains for Historic Boyd

Heralded as Philadelphia’s last movie palace, it appears the final curtain has fallen for The Boyd Theater.

The Philadelphia Historical Commission voted on Friday to allow a luxury movie theater developer demolish a large portion of the theater along the 1900 block of Chestnut Street.

iPic, the Florida-based developer, plans to demolish the 2,450 seat art deco theater and it’s lobby to construct a modern, eight-screen multiplex. The plan would keep the theater’s entrance and façade on Chestnut Street.

Friends of The Boyd, a preservation group, has fought the development by asking the commission to block iPic’s plan. Rather, they wanted to restore the theater. iPic and the theater’s current owners, Live Nation, argued that plan would not be financially viable.

After hearing hours of testimony on Friday, the commission concluded the multiplex development would be best for the future of the property and the community.

Friends of The Boyd tell NBC10.com they plan to fight the ruling.

The Boyd opened in 1928 and showed movies for nearly 75 years. It closed in 2002.

Pa. Dad Stabbed to Death in Bahamas

A Berks County father and husband has been murdered during a business trip to The Bahamas.

Carl Yerger, of Fleetwood, Pa., was stabbed multiple times near a resort in Bimini, a set of islands on the western edge of the archipelago, an officer with the Royal Bahamas Police Force confirmed to NBC10.com.

The 45-year-old’s body was found at 7 a.m. Friday morning and had multiple stab wounds, officials said. However, an official cause of death is pending an autopsy.

Co-owner of Custom Milling & Consulting in Fleetwood, Pa., Yeager was conducting business on the island when he was killed, his wife Rebecca Yerger told NBC10.com. The couple have two sons – Tate, 7, and 10-year-old Ty.

He also was the president of the Oley Valley Youth Sports League.

“He was unique, caring, ambitious, detailed, organized, courageous, a problem solver, and mediator,” the league’s board of directors wrote in a statement. “His efforts earned him the support and loyalty of both new and long-time volunteers and coaches.”

Investigators say they have taken four men into custody in relation to the crime, but no one has been charged.

Police also have not released an official motive, but believe it may have been a random act.

The death investigation is ongoing.
