Have they finally found Jimmy Hoffa???
Disgusting. I hope the investigators figure out who did this. It's not only a horrible crime, but a sad ending for a human life. My thoughts and prayers to the family.
This looks like the work of the Russian Mafia. Doesn't one of their biggest kingpins own the NJ Nets?
I wonder if they left the address tag on the suitcase?
HAHAHA! America's Stupidest Criminals!
my carry-on!
Somebody got tired of traveling with this heavy load. What a sad thing. I hope they find out who this is, so they can have a proper send off. And, the police can get whoever did this heinous crime!!!!!!!!!!
This is all Obama's fault.
All of Newark is comprised of human remains. I know I live in NJ.
LOL. Makes the shore more interesting. Teeth instead of shells.
Is this part of a matching set possibly? Euw. This story is almost as good as the feet in boots washing up on shore. Riveting and exciting. Not. I miss the Sopranos but we still have Nucky on Boardwalk Empire on Showtime. WHACK!!!!!
I suspect TSA is not doing a good job off shore either.
Welcome to New Jersey. Maybe the Long Island serial killer was stuck in NJ over the weekend and couldn't make it out there to dump another body.
Crazy world...Sounds like something out of Hollywood...
Amazing that a human being could be killed, stuffed in a suitcase and abandoned near a major city, and this story gets buried because of the hurt feelings of a "college student" who inserted themselves into the dirty world of politics on capital hill by "volunteering" to testify and got called a bad name by a radio talk show host. Human life vs hurt feelings.....absolutely amazing where the priorities of America seem to be.
Hey Sue, way to stay classy.
I read Ms. Fluke's testimony. Part of the testimoy was about BC/BCP for all women, however the majority of her testimony was about non coverage of BCP for women with medical conditions treatable with the BCP. There is nothing in the testimony that was damaging to Ms. Fluke. Where does Rush come up with this stuff?
If BC/BCP is for a verifiable medical condition it should be covered as medically necessary. There should be no exceptions.
if the BC/BCP is for recreational use it should be paid or denied based upon whether the policy covers it. It is not medically necessary so the contract should determine payment/non payment.
It's NEWARK, suprise, get real.
was it a samsonite ?
It was an AMERICAN TOURISTER!
If you are really naive to think this type of things don't happen, you need to open yourself to the world, this type of stuff happens every single day in various parts of the world.
Maybe it's Rush Limbaugh.
