OT: True Crime Scranton

[WanderingSpectator]

For those that are interested, I have a section of my blog dedicated to True Crime Scranton. I write about crimes that occurred around century ago or older. I had written about more recent one until a grandson of one of the suspects contacted me. Doh!

The most recent post is about a train heist in 1911.

Murder on the 708 Train

The Old West wasn’t the only place trains were robbed! A bandit, inspired by the moving picture, “The Great Train Robbery”, pulls off a heist in Scranton.

Here’s my latest post on Joanne Williams. She went missing in 1978 and was never found. She was later linked to Frank Osellanie but they never charged him. Osellanie was convicted in another case (Renee Waddle) and supposedly died in jail.

Where is Joanne Williams?

In 1978, Joanne Williams simply disappeared. She never made it to her dance class and was never heard from again. Did she run way? Or was she a victim of serial killer?

It’s “Silver Spring, MD,” not “Silver Springs.” Just in case you’d wish to correct it.

 

[WanderingSpectator]

Thanks. The newspaper had it listed as "Springs" and I didn't think that was correct but I forgot to check it. Fixed now...Thanks!

Sucks. I've done the cheese steak joint a bunch with work but as you know that pizza was excellent. Hope he pulls though and starts the pizza again somewhere.

My latest post on Scranton area crime. I’m 1933 the early Mafia takes out three men and dumps them in an abandoned mine shaft in Old Forge.

Facebook page said they went thru almost 200 pizzas and it is going to be a regular menu item there. Luck of the draw to be able to get it again!

The people have spoken! It really was the best pizza I ever had. Sure some “purists” would scoff, but his pan-fried Sicilian (in all flavors) is incredible.

It sucks flying in for games. Makes tailgating infinitely more challenging. Thankfully, we have some friends in 41 and others with Tailgate Guys. We'll bring some provisions from Wegmans.

Noon games are a challenge for us as well but not nearly as much as for you. We're leaving NEPA heading west at 6 AM on Sat. I just seasoned the pork butt to put on the smoker tomorrow morning as I'm tied up on Friday. This is our first opportunity to tailgate with our daughter as a student. Can't freakin' wait! I'm gonna get over to meet @rudedude before this season's over. I need to check if his clock is on time. Enjoy!

Our flight leaves at 5am tomorrow. Into PIT. We’re with some friends whose kids are touring the campus on Friday. Our girls are scheduled to land Friday at 12 into SCE. And we have another buddy and his son who are OSU fans. I’m guest lecturing on Friday afternoon. Busy couple of days!

Rudedud,
Would you be able to give a name or address,
My 54 yr old son manages a bridge construction outfit in that region and brings home different styles of pizza.
This pizza place sounds great. Maybe my son can pick up pizza the night before the OS game.
Thank you,
Thomas

Did you know OD lives in Tampa bay ?

I expect there are a good number of people with initials OD who live in Tampa Bay.

If you meant to say that the OP is from Tampa Bay and are suggesting that this might be a rationale for the typo, relax. You see this particular typo all the time, it’s no big deal. I mentioned this only because if I were the one doing the writing, I’d appreciate the typo being brought to my attention. It was great writing, with perfect tone, wow, don’t get me started, he really invested himself. It demanded respect. The OP accepted my suggestion in the spirit it was offered.
