Woman, 95, Freezes to Death in Lehigh Valley Home
An elderly woman died from exposure to cold temperatures in her Lehigh Valley home.
Jeanette Wintz, 95, was found dead in her home Sunday night after prolonged exposure to “cold ambient air temperatures within her residence” in Allentown, Lehigh County coroner Scott Grim announced Tuesday.
Deputy Coroner Craig Hanzl ruled Wintz’s death an accident caused by complications of hypothermia.
Temperatures in Allentown late Saturday afternoon were at 32 degrees. Overnight into Sunday the low fell into the low 20s and remained around or below the freezing mark into Sunday night when Wintz was found.
Wintz was last heard from over the weekend.
The reasoning for the heater not being on wasn’t clear.

Lawyer Uses Ex's Accounts for Strip Clubs, Porn, Police Say
A local attorney who was already charged with defrauding his clients was arrested again for allegedly using his ex-wife’s accounts to spend money on strip clubs, pornography and an extramarital affair.
Joshua Janis, 38, of Downingtown, Pennsylvania, is charged with identity theft, forgery, access device fraud and theft.
Janis was initially arrested over the summer for allegedly defrauding multiple clients in his law practice in Chester County, Pennsylvania. After he was charged, he separated from his wife and then divorced.
After the divorce, Janis’ ex-wife began receiving bills from different accounts that she did not recognize, according to police. She ran a credit report and discovered Janis had opened multiple accounts in her name and created large, unauthorized expenses, investigators said. She then reported it to police.
Police determined Janis had used his ex-wife’s identity and personal information to set up accounts with Capital One, T-Mobile, Bank of America, Citibank, Comcast, AT&T and other entities.
Janis allegedly used the accounts for bills at strip clubs, pornography and expenses related to an extramarital affair.
Janis incurred over $20,000 in unpaid expenses in his ex-wife’s name while the other accounts had fraudulent expenses that varied from hundreds of dollars to thousands of dollars, investigators said.
Janis is being held on $5000 bail. He is scheduled to go on trial in January in relation to his initial arrest.
“The defendant did not hesitate to defraud clients, colleagues, and even his wife,” Chester County District Attorney Tom Hogan said. “Anybody who had any significant contacts with the defendant needs to check and determine if they were victims of the defendant’s greed.”

Police Release Sketch of Suspect in Norristown Robberies
Police released a sketch of a man who they say has robbed and attacked several women in Norristown, Pennsylvania.
The suspect targeted five women between Dec. 1 and Dec. 8, police said. During each incident, which have all taken place within a three-mile area, the suspect pulled the victims down by the neck or shoulders before robbing them, according to investigators.
The incidents took place at the following times and locations in Norristown.
- 4 a.m. on Dec. 1 at Airy Street and Haws Avenue
- 7 a.m. on Dec. 1 at Stanbridge Street and Haws Avenue
- 7 a.m. on Dec. 2 on the 500 block of Haws Avenue
- 7:45 p.m. on Dec. 2 at Fornance and W. Marshall streets
- 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 8 on the 700 block of Noble Street
“The extent of what he’s done so far is to physically wrestle the women to the ground,” Norristown Police Chief Mark Talbot said. “He tends to come up pretty quickly so nobody has said that they suspected anything was going to happen.”
Investigators say none of the victims were seriously injured during any of the incidents though they fear the suspect could escalate his behavior. They’ve instituted additional patrols in the area as they continue to search for him.
The suspect is described as a black male in his mid-20s to mid-30s with a light to medium complexion standing between 5-foot-10 and six feet with a medium to heavy build. Police say the suspect was last seen wearing a dark-colored hooded sweatshirt and either jeans or sweatpants. They also say he may have some facial hair.
If you have any information on the suspect or incidents, please call Norristown Police at 610-270-0977. You can also leave an anonymous tip by calling 610-278-TIPS.
