NJ father charged in death of 4-month-old son left in minivan

A New Jersey father has been charged in the death of his of 4-month-old son after the baby was found unresponsive inside a minivan earlier this week, authorities said Thursday.

Moshe Ehrlich, 35, of Lakewood Township, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child after investigators determined his son had been “left alone in his vehicle for an extended period of time.”

On Thursday, Ehrlich surrendered himself to authorities at the Lakewood Township Police headquarters before being transported to Ocean County Jail, where he’s currently being held, according to prosecutor Bradley Billhimer.

The incident occurred on Tuesday just before 2 p.m. when Lakewood Township Police responded to the area of Fifth St. between Monmouth and Princeton avenues for reports of an “infant inside a motor vehicle in distress.”

When police arrived at the scene, they found a volunteer EMS group attempting to render lifesaving aid to the baby.

The child was transported to Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus in Lakewood, where he was later pronounced dead, officials said.

“The entire Lakewood community is in mourning following the devastating news,” Lakewood Deputy Mayor Menashe Miller said in a statement to Pix 11 News on Wednesday. “Our various local volunteer social service agencies are working to assist those affected in any way they can.”

Police have not yet disclosed the baby’s cause of death. The vehicle, a Toyota Sienna, was towed from its parking spot just before 5 p.m. on Tuesday.

The incident remains an active and ongoing investigation, according to the prosecutor, who said in a statement that “additional charges may be forthcoming.”

Mobbed-up Long Island cop staged fake raid at rival ‘Sal the Shoemaker’ gambling parlor: feds

A mobbed-up Nassau cop working behind-the-scenes for the Bonanno crime family staged a fake raid to shut down a gambling parlor run by rival Genovese gangster Salvatore “Sal the Shoemaker” Rubino, federal prosecutors charge in new court filings. Now-fired Nassau County Police Department Detective Hector Rosario allegedly had a side gig working for the Bonanno crime family — and the Bonannos considered Rubino’s gambling den in his Merrick, L.I. shop, Sal’s Shoe Repair, the competition, the feds say. So in 2013 or 2014, two Bonanno members paid Rosario to shut the place down and Rosario got to work, according to a January filing by federal prosecutors. The two Bonannos who gave the order are expected to sing at Rosario’s trial in Brooklyn Federal Court next month. Neither are named in the court filings. One of the informants, a Bonanno associate, is expected to testify he was in the room when Rosario and his “associates” barged into Rubino’s shoe repair shop, broke one of the gamb...

Unclaimed Funds Archive

What are unclaimed property and unclaimed funds? Perhaps you forgot to cash a check, overpaid a bill, or didn’t know you were the beneficiary of a long-lost relative’s life insurance policy. There are many reasons why you may be owed money and not be aware of it. That is why banks, insurance companies, courts, corporations, and other organizations are required by law to attempt to notify you by mail and publish information regarding unclaimed property in the newspaper.

After that “dormancy period,” the funds are turned over to the state. The NY State Comptroller will hold on to unclaimed funds indefinitely, just waiting for you to file a claim.
