Dancing With the Stars’ Witney Carson Reveals Sex of 3rd Baby
Dancing With the Stars pro Witney Carson and her husband, Carson McAllister, have revealed the sex of their third baby.
“Baby McAllister number 3 is a…” Carson, 32, McAllister, 33, teased in a joint Instagram post on Monday, September 21.
The clip featured Carson and McAllister standing at the edge of a dock with their backs turned to their sons, Leo, 5, and Jet, 3. Leo opened up an envelope tucked into a basket with blue and pink bouquets — discovering that he will soon have another little brother.
Carson and McAllister turned around to find Leo handing them the blue bouquet — though, in a cute twist, Jet also presented them with the pink flowers as well. To clear up any confusion, Carson clarified in the caption that she is expecting her third son.
“We couldn’t be happier or feel more blessed with all these boys,” the DWTS pro wrote. “I love being a boy mom. My greatest honor in life is to raise them.”
Carson announced on August 17 that she is expecting the couple’s third baby — all while gearing up for DWTS season 35. The pro dancer, who is foxtrotting with Jimmy Kimmel Live! sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez in the ballroom, already shares sons Leo and Jet with McAllister.
“I would be lying if I said it wasn’t very daunting. I’ve never been this far along pregnant and competing on Dancing With the Stars, ever,” Carson noted on Good Morning America. “I don’t know if it’s ever been done.”
She added, “I’m so proud to be a woman, to be creating life and growing this human, and to be able to do the show and compete … is such a huge blessing.”
Later that month, Carson hinted that she already knew the sex of her unborn child.
“We’re, kind of, waiting ‘til the 20-week ultrasound so we can for sure confirm,” the two-time mirrorball champion said on “The Viall Files” podcast on August 20. “We did, like, that little sneak peek test at the beginning, but I don’t fully believe it yet.”
While Carson and McAllister have previously planned elaborate sex reveals, they opted to keep things “really simple” this time around.
“We just did it with the boys, and we didn’t do, like, the whole explosion,” she quipped. “People go just too far. I feel like with gender reveals, it’s like, OK, we’ve gotten it. It’s gotten out of hand.”
As for her sons, Carson gushed that Leo and Jet are already “excited” about becoming big brothers.
“We’ve kept it a secret for so long. So, the fact that we can share it now, they always ask me, they’re like, ‘Mom, can I tell?’ They’re so excited,” Carson told podcast hosts Nick Viall and Natalie Joy. “So, by the time this baby’s born, my oldest will be 6 and then my youngest will be 4. I feel like it really is a perfect time for us to grow our family and have a third.”
Carson, who was admittedly “completely surprised” by her pregnancy, was four months along when DWTS kicked off last week.
“We didn’t think we would get pregnant that quickly, so it was a little bit of like, ‘Oh, OK,’” she added. “I really didn’t have being four months pregnant, dancing and competing on my bingo card this year, but that’s what we’re doing.”
Dancing With the Stars airs on ABC and Disney+ Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET and streams the next day on Hulu.

Former Fox Business Producer Was 36
Jennifer Eckhart, a former associate producer for Fox Business, has died. She was 36.
Eckhart was found dead in her home in Martin County, Florida, on Saturday, September 19, according to a Martin County Sheriff’s Office incident report obtained by People.
Christine Christofek, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office, said in a statement, “This death has been ruled a suicide.”
In a press briefing, Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek stated that Eckhart had been “‘Baker Act’ed” six times before her death. According to the Florida Department of Children and Families, the Baker Act “focuses on crisis services for individuals with mental illness, much like an emergency department is for individuals experiencing a medical emergency.”
Us reached out to the Martin County Sheriff’s Office for comment.
TMZ was first to report the news.
Eckhart, who was born and raised in Miami, earned a bachelor’s degree in telecommunications news from the University of Florida’s College of Journalism and Communications. She began her media career in the Sunshine State, working as an entertainment anchor for WUFT-TV, a PBS affiliate in Gainesville. She also worked as a correspondent for ESPN Radio, where she hosted the 2011 ESPN College Football Awards.
Eckhart worked at Fox Business from 2013 to 2020, producing programs such as The Claman Countdown and interviews with prominent figures in the business world.
Around the time of her departure from the company, Eckhart made headlines when she filed a lawsuit against former Fox News anchor Ed Henry and Fox News. She claimed that Henry, 55, sexually assaulted and raped her and used his position within the company to manipulate and control her. The lawsuit also alleged that Fox News promoted Henry even after receiving complaints of sexually inappropriate behavior.
“I think it’s safe to say that I was paralyzed by fear when I was working there [at Fox News Network]. I don’t know how you could continue to cultivate and foster an environment that rewards sexual predators consistently year after year,” Eckhart said in a 2020 interview on CBS This Morning.
She added, “I felt that [Henry] had the power to derail me, to destroy me, to ruin my career. And, I just, I didn’t have a voice until now.”
Henry denied all allegations. He was fired from Fox News in July 2020, with the network noting that it “strictly prohibits sexual harassment, misconduct and discrimination.” Fox News was dismissed from the case in March 2025. Three months later, Eckhart and Henry reached a confidential settlement before the case went to trial.
After leaving Fox, Eckhart launched the “Reinvented” podcast, dubbing the venture her “second act.” The podcast series focused on “inspirational tales of reinvention from some of the world’s most sought-after names in business, sports and entertainment who have overcome incredible obstacles and adversity on their journey to success,” according to Eckhart’s website.
The latest episode was released in March and featured former Florida State Senator and Palm Beach County prosecutor Dave Aronberg.
Eckhart last posted on Instagram in June, writing, “Haven’t posted since the last time gas was under $4. 😮💨What a time to be alive. Glad to be sharing this weird little corner of the Internet again. Working on some exciting stuff that I can’t wait to share with you all!”

Woman Sentenced to Prison in Murder of Fast Food Employee
A woman was sentenced to 30 years in prison for the 2024 fatal shooting of a fast food employee that allegedly occurred over a drive-thru order.
Monica Williams pleaded guilty on Friday, September 18, to second-degree murder in the death of Anitra West, who was killed outside of a Church’s Texas Chicken in Memphis in July 2024, according to the Shelby County District Attorney’s Office.
Following Williams’ guilty plea, she was handed her 30-year sentence, the district attorney’s office said in a Monday, September 21, news release. In addition to second-degree murder, Williams pleaded guilty to being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm.
Williams was accused of killing West outside of the Church’s Chicken located on Park Avenue in Memphis’ Orange Mound neighborhood on July 8, 2024.
According to prosecutors, Williams and West “had an exchange involving a food order in the drive-thru” while West had been working.
Williams left following the exchange without paying for or grabbing her order, but later returned and shot West outside of the fast food establishment while she was outside for some fresh air, prosecutors said. West, who was 48, ultimately died at a hospital.
West’s friend, who had been on the phone with West when she was shot, told police she heard a customer yell “I will kill you!” to West over the phone, WHBQ-TV reported.
West’s co-worker had called 911 that evening to report the shooting, according to WMC-TV.
The Memphis Police Department reportedly said Williams and West had a “dispute over a food order” while Williams was in the Church’s Chicken drive-thru. The women didn’t know each other prior to the incident.
Williams was prosecuted by Shelby County Associate Deputy District Attorney Monica Timmerman.
Information on her legal representation wasn’t immediately available.
Following West’s death, her father, Bruce Stevens, told WMC-TV in 2024 that “Anitra had a personality that could just fill the room.”
Stevens and Anthonette Stevens, who was West’s mother, said that she was one of their six children. They also shared that West was killed after the family had recently taken a trip that West missed due to work.
“Her standards for working are being there, being on time, and doing what she needs to do,” Anthonette Stevens told the TV station. “Being there for the customers and also her employees, she didn’t want to leave people in a lurch all the time. Working in food service is difficult, but she never seemed to tire of it, just kept doing it and doing it.”

Jessi Draper Talks Plastic Surgery Regrets, Body Dysmorphia
Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jessi Draper got candid about plastic surgery.
“You can’t win,” Draper, 34, said during a Sunday, September 21, episode of the “Cheers!” podcast. “People are like, ‘You obviously got something done. Be honest and be authentic,’ and then you do that, and they rip you apart for doing that. It’s a double-edged sword.”
Draper went on to say that she “hates” when stars aren’t honest about the work they’ve gotten done, noting there is a real double standard when it comes to discussing the subject. “I feel like it’s better to be authentic but I also don’t ever want anyone to think I’m pushing plastic surgery. If anything, I tell people, ‘Be really cautious.’”
She continued, “I feel like I did too much and I wish I wouldn’t have done my last one. I really do wish people would let us just live our lives and be like, ‘Great. I’m glad you shared but I don’t need to take it on personally.’”
Most recently, Draper got fat grafting in her face, a procedure she ultimately regretted. “I didn’t even want it,” she said. “I went to get an upper and lower bleph and [my doctor] was like, ‘I think you need some fat grafting to fill in the eyes.” Draper then told her doctor to do what would make her look “balanced,” but her doctor ended up putting fat into her jaw, lips and eyes.
“I was very upset,” Draper said, noting that she felt “swollen” and “puffy” for months. “I had to get Kybella to try and dissolve the fat. It’s been a nightmare for the last nine months trying to fix what happened. Don’t get fat grafting.”
Looking back, she doesn’t think she needed her upper and lower bleph, either. “There’s so much pressure on us when we’re in the public eye, but I regret it, for sure.”
The hairstylist also admitted that being in the public eye made her “body dysmorphia worse” after receiving negative comments on her look. “It’s a weird feeling not to recognize yourself.”
Elsewhere in the episode, Draper opened up about getting a second breast augmentation to fit her frame better. “I just felt like my boobs were a little too much, so I went a little smaller,” she shared. “No more surgeries!”

Dolly Parton’s Nephew Fired From Longtime Role in Her Employ
The late Dolly Parton’s nephew Bryan Seaver has reportedly been fired from his longtime job heading up security at her properties.
Seaver and his security company received a notice on Wednesday, September 16, informing them that their services were no longer required, per TMZ. Seaver’s team were allegedly asked to leave Parton’s properties — including her primary home in Nashville, museum and warehouse — immediately and were swiftly replaced by a brand new security staff.
Seaver was reportedly informed in the letter that his removal from security services had no impact on his personal interest in Parton’s estate.
Us has reached out to Seaver’s company for comment.
A rep for Seaver’s security team SAPS told the outlet that they were “dismayed by the unexpected and, so far, unexplained actions” taken by the executors of Parton’s estate since her death.
“We remain unshakably resolved to fulfill her final directive to protect her family, and we refuse to be intimidated by those whose actions we believe are being taken in bad faith and with the intent to profit from the life of someone who willingly gave so much,” a company spokesperson added.
The alleged upheaval among Parton’s staff is particularly surprising since Seaver — the son of Dolly’s sister Cassie — was given the responsibility of announcing his aunt’s death at age 80 on August 25.
“As her head of security for more than two decades — a role my father Larry held before me — I have imagined the heaviness of this moment but haven’t truly felt it until now,” Seaver said in a video message posted on Parton’s official Instagram account. “It is an honor — an honor that is mixed with absolute pride and great sadness. But sadness lies with us, not with Dolly. Dolly has lived in the light and is in the arms of Jesus, surely met by [late husband] Carl, her parents and countless others who have watched over her and longed for her to meet them in the heavens.”

Seaver reflected on how much he learned from Dolly when she first took him on the road with her in the 1980s.
“By her example, we believed anything was possible,” he noted. “She never met a door she couldn’t open and the doors she opened made and changed history. My family and I have shared a lifetime of beautiful memories with Dolly [and] so have you.”
Following Seaver’s initial statement, Dolly’s spokesperson confirmed that the country music legend died following “a brief battle with cancer.”
“Our beloved Dolly Parton spent her life and career bringing joy, laughter, hope and integrity into everything she touched. Her unmatched generosity reached the lives of countless people whom she would never meet, yet she was always there to offer a helping hand,” her rep said on August 25. “Whether it be the hundreds of millions of books donated through her invaluable Imagination Library or funding research that helped create a lifesaving vaccine used around the world, Dolly’s unconditional love for all people was the guiding force for her lasting impact.”
The statement concluded, “After bravely facing a brief battle with cancer, Dolly departed her Earthly life today at the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center surrounded by loved ones.”
In the wake of Dolly’s death, Tennessee lawmakers have announced plans to rename the Nashville International Airport in Dolly’s honor.

Below Deck Med’s Nathan, Joe Fight Over Gael Before Arrest
Below Deck Mediterranean caught a heated fight between Nathan Gallagher and Joe Bradley — with Gael Cameron present — before the bosun’s arrest for domestic violence.
During the Monday, September 21, episode of the hit Bravo series, Nathan planned a night out with Gael, which included a dinner with the rest of the crew. Joe was nervous about spending time with both of them after an offscreen falling out.
The lead deckhand largely avoided Nathan and Gael until the car ride home. After Gael tried to address the awkward tension between her and Joe, the situation escalated and Nathan got involved. The duo started to butt heads as a “To Be Continued” message flashed on screen.
Season 11 of Below Deck Med, which is currently airing, showed viewers how Nathan and Gael navigated parenthood after welcoming son Kayden in June 2025. Off screen, however, news broke last month that Nathan was arrested on domestic violence charges in Australia in December 2025 after an alleged incident with an unidentified 29-year-old woman.
According to a police report viewed by Us, Nathan was charged with “assault occasioning actual bodily harm, intentionally chok[ing] a person without consent and common assault.”
The police memo revealed that Nathan was eventually granted conditional bail. He was later convicted on three counts of domestic violence after failing to appear in court.
Us also confirmed that Nathan is the subject of an Apprehended Violence Application that was filed on behalf of Gael in New South Wales. (An AVO is a legal order requested from a court to protect a person from someone who makes them fear violence, intimidation, harassment or stalking that is widely used in Australia, per NSW Government’s official website.)
“I’m not claiming I was perfect. I wasn’t. I made mistakes, and I will take responsibility for my own actions,” Nathan told Rolling Stone in an August statement. “I will not accept being portrayed solely through one account of a relationship when there is another side and evidence relating to it. I have contemporaneous video footage from the night in question, as well as messages and other records, which I believe provide important context.”
Nathan also confirmed his breakup from Gael at the time.
“There are also other matters surrounding the relationship that I have never discussed publicly,” he claimed. “My priority is being recognized as his father, establishing a relationship with him and ultimately finding a way for both of us to move forward and coparent peacefully.”
Gael, for her part, released a statement addressing the situation.
“Hey guys, I just want to say thank you so much for the support you’ve shown for Kayden and I,” she wrote via her Instagram Stories in September. “It’s been a tough season, but I have been using the past few months to quietly heal and rebuild for little man and myself. I really appreciate the love you have sent our way, especially while everything that’s come to light, and I’m really working on finding myself again and moving forward.”
Us has since confirmed that Bravo fired Nathan in light of his domestic violence arrest.
“Bravo does not plan on working with Nathan in the future,” a rep for the network noted in a statement.
Below Deck Med airs on Bravo Mondays at 8 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Peacock.
If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 for confidential support.

Taylor Swift’s Chiefs Top Is Sold Out — Shop Similar Styles on Amazon
Us has affiliate partnerships. We receive compensation when you click on a link and make a purchase. Learn more!
Fall is officially here! If your Sundays (or Mondays or Thursdays) are starting to feel cozy and football-focused, I’m going to take a wild guess and assume you might also need some rich-looking fan gear to rep your favorite NFL team. I’m here to help — well, more like Taylor Swift is here to help — because The Life of a Showgirl singer donned the richest-looking top when the Kansas City Chiefs played the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, September 20.
Swift’s exact top is the WEAR by Erin Andrews Kansas City Chiefs Colorblock Tank Top, which just so happens to be on Amazon. However, Swifties and Chiefs fans were quick to snap it up, and it is now sold out in the Chiefs colorway (still in stock in Cowboys, Chargers, Lions, Raiders, Dolphins and Saints colors).
Luckily, I found Chiefs shirts from the same collection that Swift wore that are still in stock, so you can still get Swift’s sporty-chic look — until these items inevitably sell out, that is. Below, I rounded up similar picks from the WEAR by Erin Andrews line. Every item is available in multiple NFL team colorways, so if you see your size, snag it!
WEAR by Erin Andrews Chiefs Apparel on Amazon
WEAR by Erin Andrews Chiefs Throwback Baby Tee
My Favorite: Though it’s not a tank top like Swift’s, I’d argue this short-sleeve baby tee is way more practical and comfy for fall. Trust me, everyone at the next Chiefs watch party will be wondering where you found this hidden gem.
WEAR by Erin Andrews Chiefs Cropped Raglan Tank Top
Runner-up: If you want the tank top look, this cropped raglan tank is the next best alternative for Swift’s rich-looking tank top. It gives a similar sporty-chic vibe and can be worn under a cardigan as the weather cools down.
WEAR by Erin Andrews Chiefs Button-up Cardigan
Fall Favorite: It’s only getting chillier, and this button-down cardigan is the chicest way to look put-together on game days and beyond. Just add jeans, gold jewelry, and sneakers for a rich mom-approved fall ‘fit!

Channing Tatum Debunks Burner Account Speculation
Channing Tatum is debunking a viral theory circulating online about his Instagram activity. Some fans became convinced that the actor was secretly running a burner account and using it to comment on celebrity news posts. Tatum has now addressed the speculation, making it clear that he finds the idea of spending his free time on online trolling hard to believe.
Channing Tatum Shuts Down Instagram Burner Account Rumor

Over the weekend of September 19 to 20, the Instagram account Nonya Bidness (@bidness_nonya) went viral after social media sleuths saw the user leave comments on celebrity news pages about Zoe Kravitz and Harry Styles.
Further inspection of the account revealed that Nonya Bidness only had one follower, Channing Tatum, which led many to believe it was the actor’s burner account. Screenshots of the account and its comments went viral, prompting Tatum to address the situation.
On September 21, the actor took to Instagram Stories to shut down the rumors.
“Yo i truly can’t believe yall think this is what I’m doing with my free time. F-ckin hilarious,” Tatum wrote, questioning why he would follow his own burner account if he wanted to remain anonymous.
“Wtf come on. But if I really need to say it, I only have one IG account @channingtatum,” he concluded.

Tatum and Kravitz began dating sometime in 2021 and were engaged by October 2023. The following year, however, the couple called off their engagement and went their separate ways. Kravitz is now engaged to Harry Styles.
One of Nonya Bidness’ comments read, “Just here for the hate,” under Deuxmoi’s post about Kravitz and Styles. Another comment threw shade at Tatum’s exes: “His ex-wife tried to grift his money, Zoe knew she was too much of a free bird to settle down…”
On posts about Tatum, however, Nonya Bidness was all praise. “He’s so genuine. No false pretenses with this guy. And funny as hell, too,” the user commented on one account highlighting an interview with the actor.
Not All Channing Tatum Fans Were Convinced He Had A Burner Account
While some were convinced they had found Tatum’s burner account, others weren’t so sure and dug further using open-source intelligence and internet archives.
One reddit user posted “evidence” proving it was not the actor’s secret profile. The research showed the Nonya Bidness account was previously a Channing Tatum fan account, which the actor may have followed years prior.
“It is likely that a Channing Tatum fan page MAINTAINED the account and changed its purpose. Going private and deleting all followers except for Channing’s,” the reddit user wrote.
Furthermore, one fan who was convinced Nonya Bidness was Tatum commented, “so real channing pls accept my follow request,” to which the user replied, “I’m not him, boo, go read a book.”
The user behind Nonya Bidness has since deactivated the Instagram account.
The Actor’s Name And Likeness Have Been Used In Romance Scams

Several celebrities have been used for online romance scams, including Tatum. Over the years, law enforcement and the Federal Trade Commission have issued public warnings against online romance cons that impersonate celebrities to extort money.
Such was the case in 2025, when a woman lost $850,000 after genuinely believing she was in a relationship with Brad Pitt, as reported by The Blast.
Tatum is one of the celebrities often used in these scams. One fan said she began receiving private messages from someone posing as the actor after commenting on Tatum’s Instagram photos. Another shared that his sister was chatting to a person calling himself Channing Tatum on Google Hangouts.
Channing Tatum Is Too Busy For Trolling
As the actor said, he isn’t using his free time to leave comments online with a burner account.
Tatum already has plenty keeping him busy professionally, with several film projects in various stages of development and production.
The actor is producing and starring in the Amazon MGM Studios film “Isle of Man” and will also appear in “Josephine” and “Avengers: Doomsday,” both scheduled to premiere in late 2026. He is also working on the third installment of “21 Jump Street” alongside Jonah Hill.

New Star Trek Release Officially Cancelled Just 2 Months Ahead of Release
Magic: The Gathering has expanded far beyond its original planes through Universes Beyond, transforming franchises including Final Fantasy, Spider-Man, and Doctor Who into playable cards. Star Trek is the next major property preparing to enter the game, giving fans an opportunity to build decks around characters, ships, and civilizations pulled from across the science-fiction franchise.
The crossover was also supposed to offer a clear entry point for Star Trek fans who have never played Magic before. Wizards of the Coast planned to support those newcomers with a dedicated Beginner Box, making the collaboration considerably less intimidating for anyone unfamiliar with the trading card game’s rules.
Those plans have now changed, as Wizards of the Coast has officially canceled the Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek Beginner Box in every region. In a new statement, the company attributed the decision to delays involving production, logistics, and shipping, confirming that the product will no longer be manufactured.
Other ‘Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek’ Products Are Still Coming
Anyone who has already preordered the Beginner Box will need to contact the game store or retailer responsible for the purchase to learn how it will handle the cancellation. Wizards did not announce a universal refund process, meaning the exact next steps may differ depending on where customers placed their orders. The cancellation will also affect previously announced Magic events that were intended to incorporate the Beginner Box, including MagicCon: Atlanta. Wizards is currently revising those plans and says it will provide additional information later, although the company has not indicated what could replace the canceled product at those events.
Fortunately for fans who have been waiting to bring Star Trek into Magic: The Gathering, the problem appears to be limited to this single release. Wizards did confirm that no other products in the crossover are affected, allowing the larger collaboration to proceed despite losing its most beginner-friendly component. The decision nevertheless removes an important bridge between two enormous fan communities. Players already familiar with Magic can move directly into the crossover’s remaining products, but Star Trek fans attracted by the license may now need to learn the game through another starter release before attempting to boldly go into deck building.
Production and shipping complications have created repeated problems throughout the tabletop industry, but permanently canceling a product across every market remains a more dramatic solution than simply delaying its release. Wizards has not explained why postponement was no longer viable or whether another introductory Star Trek product could eventually take the Beginner Box’s place.
The remaining Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek products are still moving forward as planned.

Man Sentenced in Missing Person Case After Bones Found
A New Jersey man has been sentenced to prison in connection with the death of a missing person after 106 bones were discovered across multiple properties in 2020.
Michael A. Zappley, of Westville, was sentenced to 12 years in prison on Friday, September 18, over the killing of Miguel Martinez III, according to a Monday, September 21, news release from the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office.
Zappley’s sentence comes after he pleaded guilty last month to aggravated manslaughter in connection with Martinez’s 2016 death.
Martinez was reported missing by his family members on June 15, 2016, according to prosecutors.
“For several months detectives investigated, continually checking hospitals, phone records, social media records, and interviewing individuals, but were unable to locate Martinez,” the prosecutor’s office said.
Eventually, investigators received a major lead from a witness who shared details in 2020 about Martinez’s death and the disposal of his body.
The tip led investigators to execute several search warrants at properties along Fox Run Road in Deptford, where dozens of human bones were found, according to prosecutors.
There were 106 bones recovered, prosecutors said. DNA testing revealed they all belonged to Martinez.
After Zappley was linked to Martinez’s death, he admitted to investigators that he got into a fight with Martinez at an auto body shop, A&J Auto Body, in Deptford, according to Patch.com. Zappley had been working at the business as a manager.
“In a taped statement, Zappley admitted to an altercation with Martinez in which he grabbed the victim from behind, restricted Martinez’s airway until he could not breathe, and struck him on the head with a steel door,” the prosecutor’s office said.
Afterward, Zappley said he left Martinez’s body outside overnight before taking his remains to a wooded area near Fox Run Road, according to prosecutors. There, Zappley allegedly tried to burn Martinez’s body.
Following the discovery of Martinez’s bones, Zappley was indicted in 2020 on charges including murder, disturbing or desecrating human remains and tampering with physical evidence, according to Patch.com.
As part of his sentence, he is required to serve 85% of the 12 years before he is eligible for parole, the prosecutor’s office said.
Gloucester County Prosecutor Andrew B. Johns thanked his office’s Major Crimes and Crime Scene Investigation Unit, New Jersey State Police and the Deptford Police Department for investigating Martinez’s death.
Deptford is located about a 10-mile drive southeast from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
