NANTICOKE, LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — After a body was discovered in a Luzerne County neighborhood, 28/22 News now knows the victim’s identity.

28/22 News first reported word of the investigation Tuesday morning.

The Luzerne County District Attorney’s Office has identified the body found in Nanticoke as 36-year-old Kelci Pamela Jones from Nanticoke.

Her body was found in the yard of the home at 213 East Ridge Street, but she did not live in this neighborhood.

People who live there are shocked by it all.

“Well, I had a neighbor call me and let me know. I saw fire trucks out back and said ‘What! Let me see what’s going on.’ As I walked to the door, they say they found a body. A body that’s horrible. That’s horrible,” said Paulette, a neighbor.

State, local, and county detectives converged on the 200 block of East Ridge Street Tuesday morning.

The body of the 36-year-old woman was found in the front yard of a home at 213 East Ridge Street.

They spent some four hours gathering potential evidence. They also seized an SUV. It was hauled away on a flatbed truck.

“Obviously we’re treating this as a suspicious death as we always do until we have evidence otherwise there are a number of witnesses who have been cooperative so far we’re hoping to have more information later today,” said Luzerne County District Attorney Sam Sanguedolce.

An autopsy was done today. The district attorney says the county coroner will be releasing a statement on Wednesday.

At this point, 28/22 News does not yet know the cause and manner of death.

No Comments on Connecticut Sun lose 78-76 heartbreaker to Minnesota Lynx as ex-UConn star Napheesa Collier scores 25

UNCASVILLE — Despite a thrilling fourth-quarter comeback attempt, the Connecticut Sun came up just short against the Minnesota Lynx, suffering a 78-76 loss at Mohegan Sun Arena on Tuesday.

The loss put the Sun out of contention for the No. 2 seed in the WNBA Playoffs, and they need to win their final regular-season game against the Chicago Sky on Thursday to hold on to their No. 3 position. The postseason begins Sunday, and Connecticut will host the No. 6 Indiana Fever in the first round if current seeding holds.

Superstar Alyssa Thomas played every minute of the first three quarters against Minnesota, getting her first rest to start the fourth. She checked back in after three minutes and finished with 18 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds, powering the Sun’s late comeback.

“For the other team, having played against her so many times, she’s really aggressive and really intimidating defensively,” said Sun guard Marina Mabrey, who was traded from the Chicago Sky midseason. “You can say you’re not worried about it, but you are. So she gave us that spark, gave us that energy and just that will to win factor. When she does that, everybody kind of jumps on board and tries to everything you can to match that energy.”

Connecticut had four players finish with double-digit points, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Lynx’s weapons. Minnesota was led by former UConn star Napheesa Collier with 25 points, six rebounds and five assists plus a game-high four blocks and two steals.

The Ohio Country Episode 11: Pretendians

No Comments on The Ohio Country Episode 11: Pretendians

Ohio is home to relatively few citizens of federally recognized tribes, especially citizens from the nations removed from the state in the 19th century, like the Shawnee, Miami, and Wyandotte.

That absence has led to dozens of so-called “remnant tribes” popping up in the state whose members claim to have American Indian ancestry.

Some Indigenous people and academics have called the people in these unrecognized groups “pretendians.” While to some it may seem innocuous, pretendians in Ohio have, based on their unverified or non-existent identity, made money, accessed ancestral funerary objects and remains, and spread false and harmful information about American Indian people.

In this episode, we define tribal citizenship, look at some of the damage done by pretendians in Ohio, and highlight the work of the citizens of federally recognized tribes correcting those situations.

Chief Ben Barnes of The Shawnee Tribe and Ohio History Connection Archaeology Curator Dr. Brad Lepper also co-published an article about the history of Serpent Mound in 2021.
