Just In

Christopher Cross James, known to many as Chris Glizzy, grew up in Philadelphia after his birth on January 9, 2001. He was just 25 when a shooting in Berwick, Pennsylvania, ended his life on the night of October 12, 2026. Police found him with a gunshot wound at 109 Walnut Street around 11:15 p.m. Officers tried to save him on the spot before he was taken to Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, where doctors pronounced him dead.

His stepbrother Joshua Snyder, blood brother Jordan C. Allen, and blood sister Rebecca Marie now face days filled with shock and sorrow. The family says no argument or disagreement should ever leave them planning a funeral instead of sharing ordinary moments. Chris was a brother they loved deeply, and his absence has changed their lives in ways that feel hard to put into words.

Neighbors nearby heard what sounded like firecrackers, then calls for help and heavy breathing. One woman who had moved in only a month earlier said the noise scared her because of the young children in the area. She stayed back until police arrived. Berwick police, with help from Pennsylvania State Police and the Columbia County District Attorney’s Office, are treating the case as a homicide. Officials say there is no ongoing danger to the public.

The family is asking for help to cover the costs of a proper burial. Any amount, they note, can ease the money worries so they can say goodbye with dignity. Kind words and prayers mean a lot to them right now as they try to hold on to the good memories of Chris.

Gun violence keeps leaving marks on families across Pennsylvania towns like Berwick. Chris’s life held value that went far beyond the night it was taken. His brothers and sister carry those memories now, leaning on each other through the hard hours.

People who knew him as Chris Glizzy remember a young man whose presence mattered. The family hopes the investigation brings answers while they focus on honoring him. Rest has come too soon for him, but the love stays.

Support for the burial continues to come in from those who want to help the family through this time. Every gesture counts as they work to give Chris the farewell he deserves.

Tod Dahlberg drove his Ram truck north on Oaks Road Tuesday morning when everything went wrong. The 57-year-old from Benton never made it past the intersection with Lydon Road in McCracken County Kentucky.

Jesse Speed, 37 and also from Benton, came east in a Jeep Compass. Ethan Townsend, 27 from Mayfield, headed south in a Nissan Maxima. Those two slammed broadside first around 7:34 a.m.

Tod’s truck then struck the Jeep. The second hit finished it. Both Tod and Jesse were pronounced dead right there by the county coroner.

Ethan walked away with injuries that did not put him down for good. Hospital staff treated him and sent him on. Local fire crews and ambulances cleared the scene.

Sheriff’s deputies locked down the roads for nearly four hours. Tow trucks hauled the wrecked vehicles off. The intersection sits quiet now but the damage stays with the families.

Two men from the same town died in the same crash. One was in the first collision. The other caught the follow-up blow. Morning commute turned into a final ride.

Neighbors in Benton feel the gap already. The crash left no time for goodbyes.

Jesse Speed was just 37 when his Jeep hit the intersection hard on Tuesday morning. He lived in Benton. The crash at Oaks Road and Lydon Road in McCracken County Kentucky took him and another man right there on the scene.

It started around 7:34 a.m. Jesse drove his 2021 Jeep Compass east on Lydon Road. Ethan Townsend, 27 from Mayfield, came south in his Nissan Maxima on Oaks Road. Their vehicles smashed broadside in the middle of the crossing.

Tod Dahlberg, 57 also from Benton, rolled north in his 2025 Ram 1500. He hit the Jeep next. Both Jesse and Tod died at the spot. The coroner called it right there.

Ethan got hurt but not bad enough to put him out. Crews took him to a hospital nearby. Fire departments from Reidland-Farley and Hendron showed up. Ambulances and tow trucks worked the mess for hours.

The road stayed closed almost four hours. Deputies from the McCracken County Sheriff’s Office handled the call. They pieced the wreck together fast.

Jesse and Tod both called Benton home. One was 37. The other was 57. Their families now face empty chairs and quiet houses. Morning traffic turned deadly in seconds.

Folks who knew them say the loss hits deep. Two lives stopped cold at that quiet country crossroads.

A Saturday evening ride on County Road P turned deadly for Steven Howard Peterson. The 68-year-old from rural La Farge was rolling east on his 2001 Harley-Davidson near Carlson Ridge Road in the Town of Christiana by Westby. It was about 6:30 p.m. on October 10 when a deer crossed in front of him. He struck it.

The impact left him hurt bad. Responders from several agencies reached the scene and got him ready for an airlift. The helicopter carried him to the hospital in La Crosse. He stayed there until early Monday afternoon on October 12. That is when he passed.

Sheriff’s deputies, firefighters and medics all worked the crash site. Wisconsin State Patrol helped too. The sheriff later thanked them for the effort they put in under tough conditions.

Peterson rode without a helmet. That fact came out after the crash. Investigators from the Vernon County Sheriff’s Office and the coroner’s office are still looking into what happened on that stretch of road.

The Harley was a 2001 model. Peterson had taken it out on a normal fall evening. One moment he was heading home. The next the deer was there and the bike was down.

Folks in La Farge and the surrounding towns now deal with the hole left behind. Peterson had lived in the area a long time. The roads he knew so well claimed him in the end.

County Road P east of Carlson Ridge Road is open again. The investigation continues. Steven Howard Peterson is gone.

Steven Howard Peterson was out on his 2001 Harley-Davidson last Saturday evening when everything changed in a flash. The 68-year-old from rural La Farge headed east on County Road P just past Carlson Ridge Road in the Town of Christiana near Westby. Around 6:30 p.m. on October 10 a deer stepped into his path. He hit it hard.

The crash left him with bad injuries. Crews got him on a helicopter and flew him to the hospital in La Crosse. He held on through the night and into the next day. Early Monday afternoon on October 12 he died there.

Peterson lived out in the country. Friends and family knew him as a regular guy who liked his rides. At 68 he still got on that Harley and took to the back roads. This one started like any other evening ride. It did not end that way.

First responders from the sheriff’s office, local fire department and ambulance crews showed up fast. They did what they could at the scene. Then the airlift team took over. Sheriff Roy Torgerson later said his heart goes out to everyone hurting from this.

Peterson was not wearing a helmet that night. The crash is still under investigation by the sheriff’s office and the coroner’s office. No other details have come out yet about the deer or the road conditions.

His people back in La Farge and around Vernon County now face the quiet that follows a sudden loss. They have the memories of the man who rode those roads for years. Those memories are what remain.

The Town of Christiana stretch of County Road P looks the same as it did before. But for the folks who knew Steven Peterson it will never feel quite the same.

A quiet stretch of woods off Miller Road near Crittenden turned into a crime scene Monday when a passerby spotted what looked like human bones. Kentucky State Police rolled in just before noon on October 12. The Grant County coroner collected the skeletal remains and shipped them to the state medical examiner’s office in Frankfort for a full work-up.

The timing has people talking about Christopher “Chris” Stidams. The 35-year-old from the Carrollton area dropped out of contact on August 3, 2024. Last known location was Carrollton itself. He is listed as five-foot-ten, roughly 120 pounds, brown hair, blue eyes, with a Carley tattoo on the right side of his neck and a Chevy bowtie on his forearm.

Police have not tied the bones to Chris or anybody else. The investigation stays open and the identity work is still underway. Detectives from Post 6 in Dry Ridge are leading it, backed by local deputies and the coroner’s team.

Discoveries like this one always pull old missing-person files back into the light. Chris’s case is one of them. Friends and relatives have kept his photo circulating and his description active for more than two years. They know the tattoos. They know the last day anyone spoke with him.

The remains sat long enough to turn skeletal. That tells investigators the person had been there a while. How long is still up to the lab. Dental charts, DNA matches, and any personal items found nearby will decide the next steps.

Until those results land, the link stays pure speculation. Jumping ahead only muddies the water for the family still searching. Chris remains listed as missing. The new case stands on its own until science says otherwise.

Tips keep coming in on both the remains and the long-open missing-person file. One solid lead could close the loop for somebody. In the meantime the woods off Miller Road stay quiet again, but the questions they raised are not going away anytime soon.

Folks in northern Kentucky got a jolt this week when someone walking the woods off Miller Road near Crittenden came across human bones. Kentucky State Police took the call Monday around midday on October 12. The Grant County coroner bagged the remains and sent them straight to the state medical examiner in Frankfort. Detectives are still trying to figure out who that person was.

Christopher “Chris” Stidams sits in a lot of people’s minds right now. The 35-year-old man vanished from Carrollton after folks last heard from him on August 3, 2024. He stands about five-foot-ten and weighs around 120 pounds. Brown hair. Blue eyes. Two tattoos stand out—the name Carley inked on the right side of his neck and a Chevrolet bowtie on his forearm.

No one from the state police or the coroner’s office has said those bones belong to Chris. They keep repeating that the ID work is ongoing and nothing is locked in yet. Still, families who have waited years for any word tend to lean toward any new find like this.

Chris’s people have held onto every scrap of information since the summer of 2024. They remember the last phone call, the last time someone saw him around Carrollton, and the long stretch of silence that followed. Missing-person cases do not fade for the ones left behind. They just sit there, heavy.

Kentucky State Police detectives from the Dry Ridge post are running the remains case. Grant County deputies helped at the scene. The medical examiner’s office will handle the hard science—DNA, dental records, whatever it takes. That process can drag on for weeks or longer.

Until the lab results come back, nobody should jump to conclusions. Linking Chris to those woods without proof only adds more pain. The search for him stays open. The new discovery simply puts another piece of ground under the microscope.

Anyone who walked those woods or noticed something odd near Miller Road can still call the tips line. Small details have cracked cases before. For Chris’s family and every other family still waiting, any solid answer beats another day of not knowing.

Around 7:17 a.m. Tuesday a 2021 Dodge Durango headed west on U.S. 178 in Lexington County. Hillary Rish sat behind the wheel as the only person inside. A 2016 Chevrolet Malibu came east near the T.A. Fore Road intersection. The cars smashed into each other front to front.

Troopers from the South Carolina Highway Patrol arrived and found Hillary dead at the scene. The Malibu’s driver and passenger both suffered injuries. Ambulances took them to the hospital for treatment.

The road runs through a stretch that sees regular morning traffic. This collision left one vehicle’s sole occupant gone and the other car’s pair hurt. No word yet on speeds or other factors. The probe continues.

Hillary’s Durango took the full force of the hit. She did not survive it. The other two people got out alive but needed medical help right away. Highway Patrol locked down the details they could confirm.

Local responders cleared the wreckage. The coroner’s office confirmed the identity. Family and friends now sort through the sudden loss. The stretch of U.S. 178 near that intersection carried the weight of the crash.

Investigators keep looking at every angle. They want to know exactly how the paths crossed. So far the public record holds the basic timeline and the outcome.

One person died in the head-on. Two others left the scene in ambulances. That is the hard fact from Tuesday morning in Lexington County.

Hillary Rish drove her 2021 Dodge Durango west on U.S. 178 near T.A. Fore Road in Lexington County when a 2016 Chevrolet Malibu came the other way. The two vehicles hit head-on around 7:17 a.m. Tuesday. She was alone in her SUV. Troopers found her with fatal injuries right there at the scene.

The Malibu carried a driver and a passenger. Both got hurt and rode to the hospital. South Carolina Highway Patrol troopers worked the wreck. They said the eastbound car struck the westbound Durango straight on.

An ordinary drive turned into a sudden stop. Hillary never made it past that stretch of road. Investigators still dig into what led up to the impact. No other details on the cause have come out yet.

Folks who knew her now face an empty spot where she used to be. The crash left the other two people dealing with their own injuries. Roads like this one see plenty of traffic on weekday mornings. This time it ended in the worst way.

Troopers marked the area and kept traffic moving around the mess. The Lexington County Coroner’s office handled the formal side of identifying Hillary. Her name went with the report of a life cut short on that stretch of highway.

The investigation stays open. Highway Patrol wants the full picture of how the two cars met in the middle. For now the facts stay simple. One driver died. Two others needed hospital care.

Mornings on U.S. 178 will keep rolling. Hillary Rish’s drive stopped for good that Tuesday.

Nicholas Jayce Olsen, 15, of Idaho Falls sat in the passenger seat of a 2018 Ford F-350 on Twin Butte Road near Menan early Saturday. Jaydon Putnam, 18, of Rigby was driving south. The truck left the road, struck an embankment and landed upside down in the Snake River. Both were gone by the time help arrived around 7:20 a.m.

The spot is just north of Menan by the bridge over the river. Idaho State Police took the lead on the call. Deputies from Jefferson and Madison counties, the Bonneville dive team, Rigby officers and Central Fire crews all worked the scene together.

It was a single-vehicle crash on a road locals use all the time. Nothing about the morning stood out until the truck left the pavement and ended up in the water. Both young men died right there.

Word spread through Idaho Falls and Rigby once the coroner released the names. Nicholas was still in his mid-teens. Jaydon had only recently turned 18. Their friends and families now face the silence that follows a loss like this.

Police have not released a cause yet. The truck was found inverted in the Snake River, which made the recovery harder. Teams worked through the morning to handle what needed to be done.

Folks who travel that stretch of Twin Butte Road know how the embankment drops toward the water. On a quiet Saturday it became the place where two lives ended without warning.

The case stays open under Idaho State Police review. In the meantime the people who knew Nicholas and Jaydon hold onto the ordinary days they still remember.
