Nearly a week after a former Playboy model was found strangled inside her upscale condominium near the popular Suburban Square shopping center on Philadelphia's Main Line, authorities have released images of a person of interest in her killing.

The body of 36-year-old Christina Carlin-Kraft was discovered Wednesday night inside her bedroom at a condo complex on Sibley Avenue in Ardmore, Pennsylvania, Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steel said. Police performing a welfare check found Carlin-Kraft's body.

The Montgomery County coroner on Thursday ruled the manner of death as homicide.

On Monday, the DA's office released images showing a man who had contact with Carlin-Kraft in the area of Broad and Locust streets in Philadelphia early Wednesday morning. Video near the 15th and Market entrance to the SEPTA subway captured the man.

The person of interest possibly used a ride-hailing service from 13th and Locust in Center City to Sibley Avenue in Ardmore, investigators said.

Detectives spent much of Thursday combing the Ardmore condo and the complex for evidence. They collected surveillance video from nearby businesses. The complex sits adjacent to the Ardmore Farmers Market and Suburban Square.

Carlin-Kraft's modeling credits include Playboy, Maxim, David Yurman and MAC Cosmetics, according to a profile on a modeling website. In 2016, she was charged with assault in New York City for striking a restaurant staffer. The charges were later dropped.

Family remembered Carlin-Kraft as "more than a Playboy model."

"She was the sweetest girl, loving and kind and generous and thoughtful," Carlin-Kraft's aunt, Angelique Carlin, said. "Those are the things I will miss about my niece."

Prosecutors asked anyone who recognizes the man seen in the video to call Lower Merion police at 610-649-1000 or county detectives at 610-278-3368. You can also submit tips through the STOPit app by using the code "MONTCOPA."

Imagine being without a stable home or not knowing when you'll be able to eat next because you can't afford food. Local researchers found more than a third of college students across the country are in that situation. So NBC10 is taking a closer look, for our Broken In Philly Series. We profile Brittany Jackson who is overcoming big odds for a better future.

Sex, the internet and extortion. A scam, involving all three, is on the rise. One viewer says he was a target. So he reached out to Harry Hairston and NBC10 Responds.

Fallout is growing over a story the NBC10 Investigators first broke back in February. Whistleblowers told us the city of Chester ignored red flags in hiring a police officer who was later accused of assault on the job. A new federal lawsuit could force Chester to pay up to the officers' accusers.

A Kent County woman became the first Delaware resident to die from rabies in more than 75 years.

The woman, who lived west of Felton, was taken to a Delaware hospital in late July after becoming ill, according to NBC affiliate WDEL. She was taken to a Pennsylvania hospital for further treatment and died last week.

Officials say she died from rabies though they did not reveal how she was exposed to it or the woman’s identity. She is only the second Delawarean to die from the disease. The first was a boy from Newport, Delaware, who died in 1941 after being bitten by a stray dog.

“Our hearts go out to this woman’s family during this very difficult time,” Delaware Division of Public Health (DPH) Director Dr. Karyl Rattay said. “Because rabies is a fatal disease once symptoms develop, we urge all Delawareans to ensure they are taking steps to avoid exposure. This is a largely preventable disease.”

Firefighters battled a junkyard fire in the Tacony section of Philadelphia.

The fire started at a junkyard on the 5200 block of Unruh Street Monday around 4:20 p.m. Several fire crews as well as hazmat units responded to the scene and were able to place the flames under control at 4:50 p.m.

No one was injured during the incident. Officials haven't revealed the cause.

It was at least the third junkyard fire in Philadelphia this month. A fire that occurred at a junkyard near train tracks in Northeast Philadelphia back on Aug. 19 led to major delays for Amtrak, SEPTA and New Jersey Transit.

Police are searching for a missing Darby boy and a Philadelphia woman.  

Yassir White, 10, of Darby, is currently with Tiffany Collins, 28, of Philadelphia, police said. Collins is a known drug user and is not related to White though she is known to his family, according to investigators.

White was last seen getting into a blue/purplish Nissan Maxima with an unknown Pennsylvania registration at 3:10 p.m. Monday on Summit and Main streets in Darby.

White is described as a black male standing 4-foot-5 and weighing 80 pounds with short black hair. He was last seen wearing a green t-shirt, white shorts and black shoes.

Collins is known to frequent West and Southwest Philadelphia, police said. If you have any information on their whereabouts, please call Darby Borough Police at 610-586-1100.

One person is dead while another is injured following a double shooting in the Roxborough section of Philadelphia. Police are searching for a suspect.

Bensalem Police are investigating and a local NAACP chapter is demanding answers after a video of an armed man breaking up a fight and then pointing a gun at an unarmed man went viral.

The incident took place Wednesday around 5:30 p.m. outside an apartment complex on the 1200 block of Neshaminy Valley Drive. Ritish Sharma, 16, who recorded the confrontation, told NBC10 the ordeal began when one of his friends began fighting another man. Then a third man armed with a gun confronted them.

“He just ran up and he pulled it out and was pointing it at people,” Sharma said. “That’s when I ran up. I was like, ‘Stop. Stop.’ And he pulled it back. I got really scared.”

In the video, the armed man tells one of the other men to lie down on the ground. 

“You’re three seconds away from catching a bullet my man,” the gunman yells.

The gunman then called police and kept one of the men from leaving the area until police arrived. In the video, the gunman physically forces the man to the ground.

“He felt the need to pull out a gun,” Sharma said. “He could’ve just broke it up with his hands.”

Video of the incident went viral and prompted a response from the Bucks County NAACP.

“The community has a concern about this individual and is demanding answers about what will be done to prevent any future vigilante/terrorist tragedies,” a spokesperson for the Bucks County NAACP said.

Bensalem Township Police also released a statement, writing that the responding officers took appropriate action and the incident is under investigation.

“Since the time of the incident, segments of video have gone viral on social media,” they wrote. “Like many videos posted on social media, these videos ONLY captured a small portion of the incident. All aspects of this case are being fully investigated and the Bensalem Police Department wants to assure the public that there is NO threat to the community relating to this incident.”

Sharma told NBC10 he’s hoping action is taken against the gunman.

“You’re not supposed to do this, especially to kids,” Sharma said. “I don’t know, I think he should get his license revoked.”

Police continue to investigate. No charges have been filed against any of the men involved.

A man’s coworkers expecting a normal ride to work together witnessed his killing at a SEPTA bus stop in North Philadelphia early Tuesday.

The Route 56 SEPTA bus pulled up as two men struggled at the stop at 6th Street and Erie Avenue around 2:40 a.m., Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said. One of the men then fired a single gunshot and ran off.

Police arrived moments later to find the man suffering from a gunshot wound to the forehead. Medics pronounced him dead on the scene.

“Two passengers on the bus recognized the shooting victim to be a coworker,” Small said.

The coworkers told investigators that the 55-year-old victim catches the bus at that stop every workday.

As he fled, the shooter, who stands around 5-foot, 6-inches tall and appears to have dreadlocks, ran in front of the SEPTA bus, police said. Investigators hoped video from the bus, as well as surveillance video from nearby businesses, would help to identify the shooter.

“We don’t know the motive at this time, we don’t know if this was a robbery or if they were in a physical altercation for some other reason,” Small said.

A backpack was left at the bus stop.

Fire tore through a Delaware business Tuesday morning, sending a plume of smoke into the air.

The blaze broke out after 8 a.m. along Old Airport Road in New Castle. The fire sent smoke into the air that could be seen from nearby Interstate 95.

No word yet if anyone was injured.

The Red Clay Creek Consolidated School District bus yard is next to the auto parts business on fire. District spokeswoman Patty Nash said most buses were out taking students to school at the time of the fire. Workers moved other equipment away from the property line.

By 9:30 a.m., some smoke continued to rise from the charred remains of one building at the business. Another building continued to stand.

No word yet on a cause for the fire.

Humidity and heat are combining to create oppressive conditions in the Philadelphia region.

The NBC10 First Alert Weather Team has issued a First Alert for most of the region (with the exception of the Poconos and Jersey Shore) from 11 a.m. Tuesday to 8 p.m. Wednesday for oppressive heat, with high temperatures feeling like the triple-digits.

“It was hot and humid Monday but it is more humid and it is definitely going to be hotter this afternoon,” NBC10 First Alert Weather meteorologist Bill Henley said Tuesday.

High temps will push into the low to mid 90s Tuesday and Wednesday but humidity will make it feel about 10 degrees warmer than that with feels-like temps up to 105.

“That’s 95 degrees in the shade, when you’re in the sun add 10 degrees to that,” Bill said. “Plus, the humidity on top of that and you have a real scorcher today and tomorrow.”

School’s Out:

The heat caused the Philadelphia School District to dismiss students at 1 p.m. both Tuesday and Wednesday. After-school activities, including athletic programs and professional development sessions, are canceled.

Stay Safe in the Heat:

People should be sure to check on elderly or at-risk neighbors and limit their time outside. Drink lots of water and if you don’t have access to air conditioning during the day, find a public place with AC where you can cool off.

The oppressive heat “makes it more difficult for you to cool off and be comfortable and function properly,” Bill said. “So, that’s why you really need to take it easy.”

What’s Next:

The heat wave should break by Friday — highs around 90 are possible on Thursday — as thunderstorms move in. Scattered showers could dampen parts of the Labor Day weekend.

Stick with the First Alert Weather Team on NBC10 on air and on our app for the latest on the oppressive heat and potential storms.
