Anniversary of mysterious deaths.
It has been 15 years since a teenagers’ summertime field party ended with the baffling deaths of two high school boys, Shawn Baur and Scott Fosnaught, on a rural road in Butler County.
Since then, vigils have been held; rewards offered; billboards with bigger-than-life photos erected.
All to no avail.
Police speculated at the time that Scott was struck by a large vehicle. Shawn’s death was more baffling. Police had said that, other than a head injury, there were no obvious injuries.
The manner of death — whether an accident or a homicide — has not been determined.
Rewards for information about the deaths total at least $25,000.
FILMMAKER DIES
Director of “Night of the Living Dead” George Romero has died. This and other horror films he directed turned Zombie movies in social commentaries: metaphors for conformity, racism, mall culture, militarism, class differences and other social ills. Romero was 77
ONLINE VOTER REGISTRATION
The Pennsylvania Department of State has told the Legislature in a new report that more Pennsylvanians are using online voter registration than paper forms as the number of Republican and unaffiliated or other party voters continue to surge,
Online voter registration “has made registration convenient, accurate and secure,” Gov. Tom Wolf said in a statement on the report. “It just made sense that online registration should be the first step as we began our work to bring about much needed election reforms.”
CAR CRASHES INTO HOUSE
A car flipped over into a house on Mercer Road in North Sewickley Township around 7:30 Sunday morning.
Police say Zacharie Mitchell, 23, of Monaca, was behind the wheel.
“At this time we believe he was under the influence of at least alcohol, possibly other controlled substances and he indicated to us he was coming home from a party,” said Patrolman Royce Deyber of North Sewickley Township Police.
The owner of the home, Susan Baker, said”I heard a big boom and ran to go down the steps,” “But there weren’t any steps there.”
The inside of the home was filled with debris once the car was towed away.
Charges against Mitchell are pending.
