Autopsy results showed that the baby's primary cause of death was due to 'Complications of Asphyxia,' the criminal complaint filed shows. State Police said they learned that Gina found the baby unresponsive in his crib and she called 911. Gina said that she napped and fed the baby within the last 24 hours. Troopers say that when the parents would put the baby to sleep in his wooden crib, they would put him on his stomach on a pillow. The duo claimed that the baby would not sleep on his back, and he would sleep more on his stomach.

A blue infant lounger was also in the middle of the crib, which was noted in the complaint to be a hazard for children and how children should not sleep on them. Proper sleeping instruction paperwork was given to the parents after the baby was born. The complaint shows the instruction specified to 'always put your baby to sleep on their back.'

Franklin County pet owners charged after animals found living in feces, trash filled home
FRANKLIN COUNTY, Pa. (WHTM) — Multiple pets, including a dead dog, were found neglected, suffering from numerous medical emergencies, and living in a filthy Franklin County home, according to Troopers. The owners, Vicky Moore, 56, and her son Luke Bennet, 28, both of Mercersburg, face 45 charges each after the animals were discovered living in a home with trash, feces, urine, and a 'strong' smell of ammonia throughout it, the charges filed by Troopers Thursday show. An officer with the Pennsylvania Humane Society reported March 14 to Troopers about the animals living in the home while the officer was checking the property. Troopers said they were 'immediately overwhelmed' by the odors coming from the house when Bennett answered the door. Bennett mentioned burying a dog in the backyard after it died due to worms and how two other littermates were very thin. He then provided the two dogs that had open sores and smelled, and those dogs were then taken from him for medical attention. Before the home could even be searched, Troopers said that hazmat suits and masks had to be put on due to the strong ammonia smell. Five dogs, including the two that were already taken for medical treatment, a cat, and a rabbit were found living in the home. Troopers said the animals were anemic, infested with fleas, smelled or urine and feces, they all had numerous injuries that were not treated, and they were malnourished. The dead dog that was inside a Chewy box appeared to be severely emaciated and had muscle wasting, the charges show. Bennett said that due to him being unemployed, they could not afford care, however, Moore was employed, making $25 an hour plus overtime. Bank statements showed purchases such as an OnlyFans subscription, Xbox, Pokémon items, and weed that was bought in Maryland. Moore is quoted saying they 'just did not think of it,' when asked why they did not use their money for vet care, the charges show. They did buy deworming medication before, but that did not help the dogs' condition. Both of them face felony charges of aggravated cruelty to animals and misdemeanor charges of cruelty to animals and neglect of animals. They are in Franklin County Prison after Magisterial District Judge Jody Eyer set their bail at $75,000 each. Preliminary hearings are scheduled for April 15. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

York County borough loses $65,000 in phishing email scheme; woman charged
YORK COUNTY, Pa. (WHTM) — A lengthy investigation into more than $60,000 stolen from a borough in York County led to charges being filed Thursday against an Indiana woman, court documents show.

New 'smishing' attack may target your iPhone, Apple ID: What to know The $65,827 stolen from the borough was supposed to go to an engineering company that was working on a study regarding an ongoing issue between the borough and a warehouse company, State Police said. The borough demolished a building for a new parking lot that is next to a warehouse, and the warehouse's owner is claiming the lot is impacting the building. Borough employees reported the theft to Troopers in May last year, saying they were the victim of the phishing email scam. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox. Subscribe Now According to the complaint, multiple fake email addresses were made that appeared very similar to the real emails belonging to representatives of the companies the borough was in a dispute with, but the fake emails had typos in them. About a month of emails are listed in the complaint, and some of them showed how the borough was being instructed on how to pay. By investigating further into the domains from the fake emails, which included Troopers going through numerous internet and bank records, they were able to identify Golston-McNair as a suspect.

The $65,000 deposit from Red Lion Borough was also found in one of Golston-McNair's accounts, State Police said. When contacted, Golston-McNair stated she was aware of the wire transfers into her account and she originally agreed to talk to Troopers if they traveled to her. However, she changed her mind, and almost a month later, Troopers have not heard back from her despite trying to reach her again.
