West Mifflin man held for prosecution in 41-year-old homicide case

A black-and-white dress 16-year-old Lottie Jo Gunn was wearing the day she was stabbed to death in 1985 has been preserved for years in evidence. The dress became a key piece of the unsolved homicide case when it was assigned in 2010 to now-retired Westmoreland County Detective Will Brown. He got a search warrant for a sample of DNA from James Kruczek, now 61, of West Mifflin, who an acquaintance reported had admitted to the crime years earlier.

Pitt-Greensburg education students donate more than 800 books to Jeannette’s McKee Elementary

About 15 kindergartners at Jeannette’s McKee Elementary shot a hand into the air when Pitt-Greensburg education professor Melissa Marks asked the group who loves to read. “I know that’s kind of a silly thing,” Marks said, “but saying, verbalizing ‘I love to read’ means that they’re going to internalize that more. That is part of what we want for them to internalize — that they love books and they love to read.”

Horses are the key to Grace Harwood’s happiness and standardbreds opened the door

Grace Harwood loved working with horses; that much she was sure of. Standardbreds, however, were more of a question mark — at least initially.

Pa. Sheriff’s Two-Year Fight Over GPS in County Cars Ends Without a Ruling, and Both Sides Call It a Win

A Westmoreland County, Pa., judge dismissed Sheriff James Albert's GPS tracking lawsuit against the county on Nov. 2 and ruled it moot, so no court has decided whether county commissioners can put telematics in the cars of an independently elected sheriff, TribLIVE reported. Common Pleas Judge Harry Smail Jr. had been set to hear the case in a nonjury trial. Instead, he extended his earlier order barring GPS tracking of the sheriff's vehicles while the sheriff and commissioners keep talking. The money at stake is small. The fight is over who gets to see where deputies drive.
