Couple Found Dead in Car


New Jersey couple found dead in car were all smiles night of disappearance: Witness


Melissa Pereira, 25, and Jorge Rodriguez, 24, planned to spend New Year’s Eve at a bed-and-breakfast in Pennsylvania together.

Mystery still surrounds the case of the young New Jersey couple who were found dead in a garage Sunday, but new details are emerging.
Melissa Pereira, 25, and Jorge Rodriguez, 24, parked in the garage at the Wayne Village apartment complex and closed the door, perhaps for a little privacy, about 11 p.m. on Dec. 27, witness Nicole Trifari said.
Police knew to look in the garage after a wireless phone company figured out the location of Pereira's cell.
Melissa Pereira, 25, tweets about her planned vacation with Jorge Rodriguez, 24, shortly before their disappearance.
The couple exhibited no signs of physical trauma that would indicate they were murdered, according to Michael DeMarco, a chief assistant at the Passaic County Prosecutor's Office.
"Detectives could not estimate how long the bodies have been inside of the garage," DeMarco said in a release.
Family members say the young couple had a reservation at the Cherry Valley Manor, a bed-and-breakfast in Stroudsburg, Pa., for New Year's Eve. Pereira's family owns the garage and rents it out for storage, her uncle said.
The medical examiner in Newark conducted an autopsy on Monday but is still awaiting the results of a toxicology test.

An arrest warrant has been issued for former NFL player Darren Sharper and his acquaintance, according to the New Orleans Police Department.

Two big sinkholes formed in Pokhara

Two big sinkholes have been formed in the city of Pokhara. The larger sinkhole is about eight feet wide and seven feet deep on Gagan man marg, in front of Kalika Boarding School. It was reported 8:30 p.m., BWS spokesman Harikrishna Mahat said.  The agency's crews noticed a nearby patch in the street and traced it back to Sept. 15 road work to repair a water main leak. However, Mahat said there's no way to tell whether that leak in any way contributed to the sink hole. The trench was compacted and repairs completed by 5:15 a.m., so residents weren't affected, he added. source:staradvertiser.com
