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.

Arrest made after Plains Twp. hit-and-run

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.

October 4, 1933 – August 31, 2024

KITTY HAWK — Remo Moscatelli, age 90, of Kitty Hawk, NC, passed away peacefully on August 31, 2024. Born on October 4, 1933, in Nanticoke, PA, he lived a life dedicated to his faith, family, and community.

Remo served his country honorably in the United States Navy during the Korean War. His professional journey began with delivering telegrams on a bicycle for Western Union and concluded with a distinguished tenure at General Dynamics, culminating in a career spanning over 50 years.

An active member of Still Waters Baptist Church in Nags Head, NC, for the past 20 years, Remo was a previous member in Maryland at Maryland Avenue Baptist Church, First Baptist Church of New Carrollton, and Grace Baptist Church. His contributions were numerous, ranging from welcoming newcomers to leading bible studies and Sunday school classes. As a dedicated deacon and participant in visitation ministry, Remo’s commitment to his faith was unwavering. He was also instrumental in the establishment of Camp Wabanna, providing young people with a biblical foundation and an enjoyable environment.

Remo was bold about his faith in Jesus and never missed an opportunity to share how his life changed in 1956 when he met his wife, received his discharge from the Navy, and turned his life over to the Lord.

He was preceded in death by his parents Columbia Pasquale and Remo Moscatelli, and son-in-law, Jeff Locker.

Remo is survived by his beloved spouse of 68 years, Alice Marie Flowers Moscatelli; his son, Steven Moscatelli (Teri) of Bowie, MD; his daughter, Denise Moscatelli of Kitty Hawk, NC; his grandchildren, Lauren Nguy, Melanie Wooldridge (Jeff), and Christina Moscatelli; and his great-grandchildren, Kaelyn Avery Nguy and Harper Grace Nguy.

A memorial service will be held at…

H.S. Football: Allen’s late touchdown lifts Nanticoke Area to victory

No Comments on H.S. Football: Allen’s late touchdown lifts Nanticoke Area to victory

On a Friday night under the lights in Tunkhannock, the visiting Nanticoke Area Trojans completed the comeback late with a go-ahead, goal-line touchdown run with just 66 seconds remaining in regulation to seize their first victory of the season, beating the Tigers 14-12.

The Trojans bounced back in a big way in Week 4 after losing their first three contests of the season to North Pocono, Carbondale, and Pittston Area, respectively, following the sudden death of coach Scott Dennis last month.

Coach Ron Bruza, who rejoined the staff after the start of the season, was proud of his team’s effort and showing what it means to have heart through adversity after losing Dennis just three days before the season opener.

“No one knows what these kids have gone through,” Bruza said. “They fight and come to practice every day. Most of the time they’re outmanned, they’re outgunned, but they come to work everyday.

“Coach Dennis did a great job in the offseason, instilling that Trojan heart into this young football team. A lot of these guys never even put on a uniform before. … This is Coach Dennis’ team, Coach Dennis’ program and I think we had a little help from that guy upstairs today and these kids played their butts off for him.”

Nanticoke Area got on the scoreboard first, capitalizing on a Tunkhannock fumble before senior Tyler Skordensky took it almost to the house for a lightning quick 57-yard run that would set up the Trojans at the goal line

Tailback Treston Allen plunged into the end zone from 3 yards out and fellow senior Manny Sosa converted on a two-point rushing attempt to give their squad an 8-0 advantage with 6:58 left in the opening quarter.

However, after Tunkhannock…

Sep. 7—YATESVILLE — Matt Walter. CJ Pietrzak. Lucas Lopresto.

Good luck dealing with that trio of weapons.

Pittston Area used the talents of its three offensive stars to run past Nanticoke Area 55-0 on Friday night at Charley Trippi Stadium. Walter, Pietrzak and Lopresto were collectively responsible for 30 of those points.

“In this conference and district, you’ve got to be able to run the football, so I think we’ve been doing that pretty well the last two weeks,” said Pittston Area coach Joe DeLucca. “We’ve got to continue buttoning some things up on the offensive side of the ball.”

Just about the only blemish on the Patriots’ side of the box score were their seven penalties, which cost them 60 yards.

Pittston Area got off to a hot start, scoring touchdowns on two of its first three drives of the game. Both of those scores came courtesy of quarterback Walter. He scored from 9 and 10 yards out in the first quarter.

CJ Pietrzak took over in the second quarter, which is where Pittston Area’s dominance on the night became stark. The Patriots scored 31 points in the second frame, with Pietrzak scoring on runs of 1 and 50 yards. In between, Walter hooked up with Lopresto for a 40-yard strike. And with a minute left in the quarter, Aidan Brody expanded the Patriot lead to 47-0 on, appropriately, a 47-yard dash to the end zone.

Special teams played a big part in the first half. For one, kicker Gavin Wolfe routinely pinned the Trojan offense inside its own 20-yard line with his booming kickoffs after each score. Wolfe tacked on a 31-yard field goal later in the midst of Pittston Area’s second-quarter onslaught.

The game also featured a safety, which spouted from a broken fourth down play. Punter Chris Julian was swarmed by Patriot special teamers,…
