Remembering Steven Green (victim)

Remembering Steven Green (victim)

Steven Green has had quite a life.  He grew up in Savannah, Georgia and attended public schools in Chatham County. A few years ago Steven was shot and badly injured when he was robbed at gunpoint as he sold clothes.  Thankfully he survived, but due to his injuries he had to start using a cane to get around.  Before long he became self employed and accepted the responsibility of being a property manager in Savannah, Georgia where he was well respected by his community. 

On Sundays Steven attended church, and during the week he worked hard to earn a living. Late last year, on November 9, he was contacted by a couple wanting to rent a property he was overseeing.  The pair, Lakeya Jenkins and Ninja Hassan Wheeler, set up a time to view the property.  They seemed interested in renting a new home and it appeared to be a normal meeting. Investigators say Steven, with his cane in tow, met the couple at the property.  Jenkins asked a lot of questions as Wheeler looked around.

BODIES FOUND IN TRASH BAGS

Investigators say two victims were murdered, tossed into trash bags, and left on a street in Linden, N.J.  The bodies were found around 9:49 a.m. yesterday by a sanitation worker and a member of the Linden Police Department. The Union County Prosecutor’s office says they have identified the remains, but are waiting to notify the families.  The Medical Examiner hasn’t released the official cause of death, and police are searching for leads.

As soon as I heard about this case, I immediately thought of a missing couple from New Jersey that vanished five years ago.  Danielle Imbo and Richard Petrone were having drinks and heading back to Mt. Laurel in Richard’s truck.  They vanished without a trace.  You can learn more about the case at the family’s website.  Investigators said in 2008 it appeared the case may have been a “murder for hire, but they haven’t had any additional information since.

If you have any information on the bodies found in Linden, please contact the Union County Crime Stoppers: 

(908) 527-4621 – and if you have any information on Danielle Imbo or Richard Petrone please contact:  (215) 546-TIPS – There is a $100,000 reward.

KHADIJAH SOLIMAN MISSING

 KHADIJAH SOLIMAN MISSING

This case reminds me of the Sean Goldman case mainly because Khadijah is from New Jersey and investigators think her mother took the child to Brazil. 

Background on Sean Goldman:  Sean’s case touched the hearts of people across the world.  The child was abducted by his mother five years ago from their state in New Jersey and taken to Brazil.  Sean’s father, David Goldman, fought to see his son, and to bring him back to his home for years.  Sean’s mother died in child birth, and David was left to fight his child’s step-father and ex-wife’s family to gain custody of his own son, they wanted to keep the child in Brazil with them (when he shouldn’t have been there in the first place).  It was traumatic to say the least and heartbreaking for what David Goldman was put through.  I personally feel the family of David’s ex-wife should face some sort of punishment through the justice system for what they did to destroy this family, and leave a father without his son for so long through alienation. Although there was a long, horrendous custody battle, on Christmas Eve (just a few weeks ago), Sean was finally reunited with David, and was able to come home to New Jersey where he is now attending school, and trying to live a normal American life.

COPS: 9-month-old covered in stab wounds, mom murdered

Remembering Jacqueline Reyes

Remembering Jacqueline Reyes

Just when I say I covered one of the worst crimes I’ve seen in a while… here’s another one that took my breath away.  It all played out in Newark, New Jersey when investigators say Ivan Reyes came home for lunch and found his 27-year-old wife dead, and his 9-month-old son covered in stab wounds.  First Responders did their best to save this baby… and it’s something they can’t get out of their mind. Officials say four firefighters, who responded to the scene, had to be relieved of their duties later because of the emotional trauma they are suffering from this incident.  The infant went into surgery for his injuries, and is listed in critical condition – we hope and pray he will survive.  Authorities are reviewing surveillance tapes from the area, searching for clues in this case; they say they do not have a description of the suspect.

If you have ANY information on this case, please contact police , or the Hudson County Prosecutor’s office homicide squad at (201) 915-1345 right away to help bring justice to this family.  I will have more on this story tomorrow as calls are returned from fire officials and investigators…
