Philadelphia Police have now stated that an 87-year-old who was reported missing has now been found. 87-year-old Louis Viozzi went missing at around 9:30 am on Tuesday, and was last seen on the 4000 block of Roosevelt Boulevard. Viozzi was then found on Wednesday at around 4:30 pm in the Holmesburg section of Philadelphia. He is now said to be safe and sound at his home.

SEPTA officials have now released a new way for passengers to report issues that may arise on SEPTA's public transit. The SEPTA Transit Watch was announced on Wednesday morning. The new app will allow transit riders to discreetly send pictures or medical emergencies to SEPTA Police. SEPTA hopes that this will make it quicker and easier to report instances on their transit lines. The app is free and downloadable from the Android or Apple App Store.

A death investigation is currently underway at a home in Delaware County on Wednesday night. It's all happening on the 200 block of Overton Drive located in Newtown Square. Police were called in by friends and family to check on the house after a funny smelling odor was coming from the home. Officials say that the home was occupied by two brothers in their 50's. Police then sent in a small squad to get one of the siblings who occupied the home, and is said to be mentally ill. Turns out the home was occupied by one of the brothers and the other one was rotting, causing the smell. The medical examiner still has not released a cause of death.
