WILMINGTON, Del. (Fox29) - A Philadelphia woman has been identified as the victim in a cold case murder investigation that dates back to 1977, authorities in Delaware announced on Tuesday.
New Castle County Police say back in 1977, the body of a female was located in a wooded area off Old Union Church Road in Townsend by a teenager who was riding home on his bike.
Authorities responded to the scene & later determined the woman's manner of death to be homicide. An extensive investigation into the woman's murder followed, but detectives were not able to identify the victim or obtain any leads & the case grew cold.
On Tuesday, after years of working with forensic & DNA experts, New Castle County Police identified the victim as Marie Petry Heiser, a Philadelphia resident. Heiser, who was 50-years-old at the time of her death, had not been reported missing to any police agency.
Heiser's husband, William Heiser Sr., was a member of the Philadelphia Police Department's Highway Patrol from the 1950’s until the early 1960’s when he was injured while rehearsing for a thrill show. After leaving the force due to his injuries, he worked as a truck driver for an area transportation company and moved to South Daytona Beach Florida in the late 1970s before his death in 2006.
New Castle County Police say Heiser's children were told by their father that their mother had packed her bags & left their Philadelphia home without leaving any information on where she had gone.
MIAMI (WPVI) -- A 24-year-old Pennsylvania woman was found dead inside a South Beach Miami hotel room after two men drugged & raped her, police said.
According to authorities, the body of Christine Englehardt, of Richboro, Bucks County, was found on March 18. Surveillance cameras from the Albion Hotel on James Avenue show her with the two men around 1 a.m. that morning.
Evoire Collier, 21, & Dorian Taylor, 24, both of North Carolina, were arrested over the weekend & charged with sexual battery & burglary. They are currently being held without bond.
The men are also accused of stealing her cell phone, cash & credit cards once Englehardt was unconscious.
Samantha DiFrancesco, a close friend of Englehardt's, said she was a "genuinely good person."
"She was the person you brought in that lit up the whole room. Her laugh was the most contagious laugh," said DiFrancesco.
Investigators believe Englehardt made contact with the suspects in a restaurant. One investigator said that a court surveillance video shows the suspects holding the victim up & that the video made it clear she was unable to consent.
"This is the last person I would ever think this would happen to. It just breaks your heart when you know she was a genuinely good person who would do anything for anybody. To think she went through what she went through, it's sickening; it's sick," DiFrancesco said.
Investigators believe the suspects gave the victim a green pill to drug her. The Medical Examiner has not made a ruling on the cause of death as they are still awaiting toxicology results, officials said. If investigators find the pill that led to her death, the suspects could face manslaughter or murder charges.
When Texas-based rapper/producer Paul BornaStar speaks, the people listen. With a commanding presence on every track, he steps out with a style that doesn’t go unnoticed. After being down and out for some time, he returned to music with a renewed focus, and looks to take his career to another level. After making waves in 2020, he turns it up even more with his first release in 2021 titled, “Outside”.
Featuring his own production, Paul BornaStar gets into some tough talk on “Outside” with the opening lyric as he shares his observation that no one wants to approach him outside. Armed with a melodic delivery, he calls out those who throw words his way, but are never the type to confront him in person. Whether they are his opps or social media taunters, he makes it clear that they are all just putting on a show, and he can sense their fear of him. “Outside” was released on March 10, and has been enjoying thousands of plays across various digital music streaming outlets. Paul BornaStar plans to provide additional content in support of “Outside” including a music video.
Born in New Orleans and raised in Denton, Texas, Paul BornaStar found his love for music early in life. He was a member of church and school choirs growing up, but his love for music took on more life when he developed songwriting and beat making skills. He pursued a music career following his graduation from high school, and was signed to Bentley Records under the stage name “King Pablo” soon after. Sadly, his career took a halt some time later after being sentenced to county jail. After his release, he made the decision to turn his life around, and take his career more seriously. Now under the new name Paul BornaStar, he is ready to take on the world with new music, and let his talent shine even more.

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — The suspected gunman in the Boulder supermarket shooting that killed 10 people appeared in court Thursday for the first time, & a defense attorney immediately asked for an assessment of his mental health.
Kathryn Herold, the lawyer for suspect Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, provided no details about what condition he might suffer from.
During the brief hearing, Alissa did not speak other than to say “yes” to a question from the judge, who advised him of the 10 charges of first-degree murder he faces. He did not enter a plea, which will come later in the judicial process.
Alissa entered court in a wheelchair, presumably because of the gunshot wound to the leg that he suffered in the shooting. One of his attorneys leaned down to talk to him before the hearing began, & Alissa nodded his head as the attorney spoke to him. Four deputies with black bands of mourning across their badges stood close by.
Alissa appeared alert & attentive. He wore a mask & purple, short-sleeved coveralls.
The 21-year-old suspect remains held without bail. Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty said authorities planned to file more charges, but he did not elaborate.
At Herold’s request, Alissa’s next hearing will not be scheduled for two to three months to allow the defense team to evaluate his mental health and evidence collected by investigators.

(CNN) Low-income families of color in Oakland, California, could receive some extra financial assistance over the next year and a half.
Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf announced this week that the city will launch a guaranteed income project to give hundreds of Black and Indigenous families and people of color $500 per month for 18 months. The project's payments will be unconditional, and recipients may spend the money however they choose.
The Oakland Resilient Families program is the latest trial of a "guaranteed income" system of wealth distribution, where residents are given a set amount of money per month to supplement the existing social safety net.
The project targets groups with the city's greatest wealth disparities, per the Oakland Equality Index, which reveals the median income for White households in Oakland to be nearly three times that of Black households.
"The poverty we all witness today is not a personal failure, it is a systems failure," Schaaf said in a statement. "Guaranteed income is one of the most promising tools for systems change, racial equity and economic mobility we've seen in decades."
Guaranteed income is different from Universal Basic Income (UBI), which would provide enough income to meet everyone's basic needs.
Instead, guaranteed income is only meant to supplement other wages and programs for low-income residents, helping to build the "income floor" on which people in poverty can begin to build financially secure lives.
Although the idea has seen a resurgence in recent years, it's not new -- Martin Luther King, Jr. advocated for it in his 1967 book, "Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?"
"I'm now convinced that the simplest approach will prove to be the most effective -- the solution to poverty is to abolish it directly by a now widely discussed measure: the guaranteed income," King wrote.
Miya Ponsetto now has a civil lawsuit on her hands -- this on top of the criminal charges she's already facing -- for her infamous "SoHo Karen" hotel confrontation.
Keyon Harrold & his family are suing Miya claiming she falsely accused his teenage son of stealing her phone, & then proceeded to pounce on the kid ... much of which was captured on cameras.
According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, the Harrolds say what happened to their son was blatant racial profiling & they're now alleging assault/battery, false imprisonment, infliction of emotional distress & other loss on behalf of their son ... whom they say was emotionally scarred by the incident & incurred medical expenses.
The family is also suing the Arlo Hotel -- where this nasty face-off went down -- claiming it failed to provide a safe environment for guests ... while also hiring crappy staff who the Harrolds say didn't do a good job in de-escalating when Miya went after their son.
You'll recall ... what appeared to be a hotel supervisor actually asked Keyon Jr. to hand over his phone for inspection when Miya started hurling the baseless accusations -- which his dad was flabbergasted about at the time the original video was posted.
Of course, Miya has since been arrested & criminally charged over this. Once her identity became known, we learned she'd been arrested for multiple other incidents in 2020.
