29-year-old Kyle Crosby of Mount Laurel, NJ, pled guilty Tuesday to murdering his wife last New Year's Eve and dumping the body in a wooded area in rural Maryland. Crosby entered a guilty plea to Aggravated Manslaughter and Hindering Apprehension and will serve 31 years in state prison. As part of the plea bargain, charges for helping conceal the crime against his 68-year-old mother Jo of Sicklerville will be dropped. Crosby admitted to strangling 26-year-old Erica Crippen inside their home and later transporting her body to Maryland. She wasn't reported missing until January 8th when her 8-year-old daughter from a previous relationship wasn't picked up from school. Crosby dumped the body in a wooded area near farmland in Maryland sometime between January 10th and 11th. He was arrested in NJ on the 12th. Authorities didn't find the body until March 17th after tracing through 8,600 points in Crosby's GPS. He remains in Burlington County Jail in lieu of $1.2 million bail. He will be formally sentenced on February 4th.

Philadelphia Police have made an arrest in the fatal shooting following the Eagles game Sunday night in West Oak Lane. 51-year-old Bartholomew Nelson of the 7400 block of Fayette Street is charged with murder and weapons offenses. It happened Sunday night following the Eagles loss to the Cardinals. Investigators say that Nelson and 51-year-old Leotis Martin got into an argument. Nelson opened fire and Martin was shot in the chest. He died at the scene. Two other men present were also shot. They were taken to Einstein Medical Center in varying conditions. Investigators took Nelson into custody on Monday.

Police have arrested a man in connection to bombs threats made to several stores in Upper Chichester, Delaware County. 50-year-old Dennis Beck of Boothwym is charged with 34 counts including threats to use weapons of mass destruction, terroristic threats, causing catastrophe, bomb threats, simple assault and harassment. On Friday night, Beck called in threats to a Walmart and a Rite Aid. On Monday night, he called in a threat again, this time to a Family Dollar store. Beck either forgot or neglected to block the caller ID on his phone and police were easily able to trace the phone call. He was arrested within minutes of placing the bomb threat on Monday.
