SEPTA Striker's Cause Delay's, Human Remains Found in Bucks County, Bridgegate Deliberations

SEPTA officials have stated that striking employees are causing service problems along SEPTA's Regional Rail lines, which is one of the only SEPTA services still operating due to the strike. Officials released a statement saying "Due to the TWU strike-related pickets at Regional Rail facilities, SEPTA will have to cancel a significant number of trains during the evening rush hour." Officials say that the picketers are blocking working crews access at the facilities. SEPTA is seeking a court injunction that will let Regional Rail employee's report to work. SEPTA posted the full list of trains on their website and on their twitter.

Police say that the human remains found at a Bucks County park on Tuesday are believed to be of a woman who has been missing for almost two months. Police believe the remains are that of 21-year-old Bensalem resident Lindsey Piccone, who went missing back on September 6th. The remains were found at Tyler State Park by a staff member who was clearing out vegetation at the park. Police say that the State Police and the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources are continuing an investigation.

Jurors have concluded their first day of deliberations in the case of the George Washington Bridge lane closures back in 2013. The jury is negotiating the case against two of NJ Gov. Chris Christie's allies (Bridget Kelly and Bill Baroni) who are charged with scheming to punish a mayor who didn't endorse Christie for governor in 2013 by closing down the lanes of the bridge. Jurors asked the judge several questions about the case including if they can convict the defendants of conspiracy, even if they didn't realize the lane closures were meant to punish the mayor. So far the jury has not reached a verdict in the case.
