Philadelphia non-profit trying to replace stolen community fridge
PHILADELPHIA - A local non-profit organization is asking for their community fridge to be returned after they say it was stolen from a North Philadelphia neighborhood. Executive Director of As I Plant This Seed said on Instagram the fridge was stolen from outside their ‘Tree House’ property on the 3500 block of North 9th Street. The community fridge was accessible to anyone in need of food and was stocked by kindhearted people with a little extra to spare."Anybody in the neighborhood could put food in, take food out, it's pretty much a helping type of situation," Mentor Tysheen Wilson told FOX 29. MORE LOCAL HEADLINESAs I Plant This Seed is an organization whose goal is to uplift young people in the community, they set up the community fridge 9 months ago.Program Coordinator Sharen Mackrey said the theft will create a void in the community."We're in a neighborhood where it's food insecure, so this is a food desert neighborhood, and it hurts the community that someone came to steal the entire refrigerator."The organization says it has limited funds and is looking for donations to replace and restock the community fridge. "I'm hoping everyone can collectively come together, just pull together and try to right this wrong," Tiara Blackwell said. Anyone interested in helping As I Plant This Seed replace their community fridge can reach out to the organization on social media.

DNA on a discarded cigarette butt helps police solve 52 year murder case
BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) - RELATED: Winter storm updates • State of the State • Decades-old cold case solvedA discarded cigarette found near the body of a 24-year-old Vermont school teacher in her apartment nearly 52 years ago helped lead investigators to an upstairs neighbor who they say strangled her after having a fight with his wife, police said Tuesday.Burlington Police DNA evidence collected from the cigarette butt and dogged investigative work led authorities to the man they say killed Rita Curran within a 70-minute window on a July night in 1971.The suspect, identified as William DeRoos, who was 31 at the time, had left his apartment that night for "a cool down walk." After he returned he told his wife of two weeks not to say that he had been out.Since the investigation was renewed in 2019, detectives re-interviewed DeRoos' former wife, and she told them he had left their apartment for a brief period within a window of time when Curran's roommates were out of her Burlington apartment."We’re all confident that William DeRoos is responsible for the aggravated murder of Rita Curran, but because he died in a hotel room of a drug overdose he will not be held accountable for his actions, but this case will be closed," Burlington Police Detective Lt.
