I'll tell you what, Jackie, police need the public's help right now in this very bizarre story. Last week, a worker at the Red Roof Inn in Taylor discovered an abandoned room. In there, there was trash, all or two dogs and the dead body of a woman. Now, police now say that her boyfriend Christopher Shoemaker had been living in that Red Roof Inn with his dead girlfriend for days.
The woman, Rebecca Pantinoid, showed no signs of foul play after an autopsy was conducted, although authorities are still waiting for the toxicology results. The boyfriend, however, took off with his girlfriend's credit cards. And if you have any information about the boyfriend or anything regarding this case, call the Taylor Police.

In front of an apartment complex on Owens Mouth, right across from Lanark Park, we're just north of Strathorne. People have been coming by, leaving flowers, teddy bears.

Can't imagine somebody doing that to their own family and the mom and the family, I can't imagine.

This woman, named Danica, brought two bunnies, one each for the 10 year old boys, twins, who were murdered by their father, who shot and killed himself.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:20)
I don't know if anybody's ever known twins, but it's a very special bond that twins have, you know, so all I know is that they're with God or the creator.

Neighbors say there may have been some sort of party going on. The mother told police she heard two pops went into the bedroom to see what was going on. The father pointed the gun at her, shot but missed, then shot and killed himself. The motive is still unclear. In Kenoga Park, I'm Emily Valdez, KNX News.

This week, KNX also reported on another disturbing story out of Kenoga Park. A police officer there allegedly fatally shot a family's dog during a celebration for the New York Knicks Super Bowl win. The incident was captured on body camera footage that was released by police this Friday.
In Chicago, Audacy Station WBBM Newsradio reported on a deadly incident at an Amazon warehouse earlier this month.

20-year-old Quentin S. Williams Jr. has been charged with one count of first-degree murder. Melrose Park police say on June 4, Travion R. Taylor of Chicago was in the parking garage with an Amazon co-worker who was arguing with Williams when Williams pulled out a semi-automatic rifle and fired several shots. Police say Taylor was shot in his back and later died at a hospital. A judge on Monday ordered Williams held in jail pending his trial. Roger Plummer, Newsradio, 1059 WBBM.

This next report from Audacy Station KYW Newsradio in Philadelphia has the potential to impact a murder case from the 1980s.

**SPEAKER_7** (4:04)
A former top supervisor within the Philadelphia DA's office has been suspended from practicing in federal court for three years accused of lying to a judge in order to overturn a death penalty sentence. More now from KYW's Crime and Justice Reporter, Kristen Johansson.

The federal court unsealed the order to suspend Nancy Winkleman, a former supervisor in the District Attorney's Law Division earlier this week. A panel of three judges agreed the longtime attorney should be suspended because they say she misrepresented critical facts in order to vacate a defendant's sentence. It comes several months after her subordinate Paul George was disbarred from federal court for the same reason and the same case, which involves Robert Wharton, a man convicted of murdering a Mount Airy couple in the 80s. After exhausting all of his appeals at the state level, Wharton turned to the federal court to vacate his sentence and the DA's office sided with him. The judges say George didn't investigate or properly vet the case before siding with the defendant and he didn't notify the family, specifically that baby girl. They say Winkleman didn't review any of what was presented to the judge, but signed off on it anyway. In a report, the judges write, We further find that she was willfully blind to and complicit in George's misrepresentations. Earlier this week, a state court directed the state's attorney general to review cases the DA's office wants to overturn, accusing the DA of misrepresenting facts.
