Bridgewater tables Hobbstown land deals after residents raise concerns

BRIDGEWATER – After questions were raised about the future use of the properties, the Township Council tabled ordinances to buy three lots in the historic Hobbstown community . The council was scheduled Nov. 5 to adopt an ordinance to buy a vacant half-acre lot on Richard Street for $65,000 from Eric Murdock, a former NBA player, and Darrow Murdock, the township's former tax collector. The council also tabled the introduction of an ordinance to purchase two other lots in Hobbstown for $165,000. The Sussex Avenue properties are owned by Nancy Jean Field, Glenn Field and William Robinson.

Chester Investigation Intensifies: Law Enforcement Executes Coordinated Search at Local Residence

The mysterious death of 35-year-old Brooke Hanlon in Chester, New Jersey, has entered a critical new phase following a coordinated two-day evidence search by state and local authorities. Found with multiple sharp-force injuries in June 2026, the young mother’s homicide remained largely out of the public eye until a massive law enforcement presence swarmed the family property this week.
