May 22—WILKES-BARRE — One of two men charged by Wilkes-Barre police with conspiring to kill a woman inside her Willow Street residence more than 20 months ago reached a plea deal with Luzerne County prosecutors Monday.
Charles Reilly Bierly, 24, pled guilty to third-degree murder, criminal conspiracy to commit homicide and illegal possession of a firearm for the slaying of Judith Comisky, 52, on Sept. 16, 2021.
President Judge Michael T. Vough accepted the plea agreement between assistant district attorneys Drew McLaughlin and Julian Truskowski and Bierly’s attorney, John Pike.
City police detectives in court records say Bierly was pressured by co-defendant James Raymond Alberto, 34, to kill Comisky as Alberto wrongly believed she was an informant reporting to authorities about his street business.
Bierly claimed Alberto threatened to harm his girlfriend and himself if he did not kill Comisky, court records say.
Alberto previously lived inside Comisky’s home at 123 Willow St. and advised another roommate to leave the house on a certain date.
Comisky’s body was found in the kitchen. An autopsy revealed she died of multiple sharp force injuries.
After Comisky was killed, Bierly was arrested outside a motel in Wilkes-Barre Township. During an interrogation with city police detectives, he admitted he discarded weapons used in the murder in the Susquehanna River near the Nanticoke-West Nanticoke Bridge. A dive team recovered the weapons.
As Bierly’s case proceeded through court, Pike successfully had certain statements Bierly made to detectives suppressed as he wanted to cease talking because he was tired.
Bierly is scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 17.
Alberto’s trial on charges of criminal homicide, criminal solicitation to commit homicide, criminal conspiracy to commit homicide, burglary, criminal conspiracy to commit burglary and illegal possession of a firearm is scheduled for the week of May 30 before Vough.

Into NJ – The Trek
The guy you’ve seen in several of my photos in the orange shirt is my friend BeeZ (yes, BeeZ). We both started hiking our flip flops on the same day at the south end of Shenandoah National Park. BeeZ is from Atlanta and a mathematician by trade. So, while his jokes may be lacking, he’s an experienced hiker who’s been keeping an eye on me. He handles all the logistics on a daily basis so I don’t have to. We don’t typically hike shoulder to shoulder since I can’t keep his pace, but we normally end up in the same place at day’s end.
Day 33 – Delaware Water Gap to Mohican Outdoor Center (9)
Day 34 – Mohican Outdoor Center to Gren Anderson Shelter (21)
Day 35 – Gren Anderson Shelter to Route 443, Mosey’s Place (11)
Day 36 – Rest at Mosey’s (0)
I don’t want to seem ungrateful, but it’s nice to be out of Pennsylvania. As they say on the NJ lottery commercials – “Anything can happen … in New Jersey.”
The trail has been a bit easier for us, and we came to an impressive beaver pond. These pictures will speak to a beaver’s determination. These are really big trees. Note the white AT blaze on the tree in the first photo.
I’m almost surprised they weren’t able to drag that first tree away.
On day 34, I spent my first night in a shelter rather than a tent and had a few harrowing minutes. During the night, I slipped out of my sleeping bag to, you know, answer nature’s call. When I reached for my shoes at…
Global gaming supplier Light & Wonder has announced a systems agreement with Mohegan INSPIRE Entertainment Resort in Incheon, South Korea under which it will provide its portfolio of systems solutions to the property.
The agreement also includes the installation of a full complement of Light & Wonder’s slots and electronic table games, the company confirmed overnight.
“A partnership with Mohegan INSPIRE offers a tremendous opportunity for Light & Wonder in the Asian market,” said Siobhan Lane, Light & Wonder’s CEO of Gaming. “INSPIRE will be an incredible all-new, state-of-the-art destination and we look forward to its historic debut.
“We couldn’t be more proud to expand our existing relationship with Mohegan and continue to provide our robust portfolio to enable the highest level of efficiency for the resort, while also allowing guests to enjoy an unmatched player experience throughout the property.”
Mohegan COO Jody Madigan added, “Light & Wonder offers one of the most technologically advanced systems in the industry. Integrating Light & Wonder’s advanced solutions into the new property will be integral to the success of our operations and will allow us to obtain real-time insights to drive business. Implementing these technologies will help us deliver significant value to our players.”
The Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority confirmed last week that it was on track to open the non-gaming elements of Mohegan INSPIRE in late 2023, with casino operations expected to launch in early 2024.
The US$1.6 billion development will comprise a foreigner-only casino, three hotel towers with a combined 1,200 rooms, a 15,000-seat arena and convention space plus dining, retail, a year-round indoor water dome experience and an outdoor family park.
First, thank you to the Facebook Page, “I Grew Up Or Lived In Atlantic City, NJ.”
I love this social media page and they are “The Keeper” of so much amazing Atlantic City history.
The photos and encyclopedia of information are wonderful on this site.
The administrators of this Atlantic City Facebook Page do an incredible job.
Early this morning, I saw this photo. Look how many fishing opportunities were available in Atlantic City in 1957.

While the above ad is about 1957, I also want to take this opportunity to share some amazing history about both Absecon Island and Atlantic City.
The history of Atlantic City as a fishing town runs deep.
The first to live on Absecon Island was The Lenni-Lenape Indians. They spent summers here (migrating from The Mainland) at what is Florida Avenue, today.
There was an abundance of food available in the ocean and bay.
Thomas Budd is officially listed as the first official owner of Absecon Island in the late 1670s.
In those days, Mainland properties were valued at 40 cents per acre, and the beach land sold for 4 cents per acre.
Can you believe that? An acre today is worth millions of dollars.
The Lenni-Lenape Indians and other early Mainland settlers would visit Absecon Island for the next 100 years to hunt and fish.
Among those early rugged individuals was Jeremiah Leeds.
Leeds was the first white man to build a permanent structure on Absecon Island, doing so in 1785 at what is now Arctic and Arkansas Avenues.
Jeremiah Leeds and his family are the first residents of Atlantic City, New Jersey.
