This home-grown hero is a Temple grad who entered with a baseball scholarship, but then found his calling in acting. He has performed in a multitude of shows like “Picnic” in Montgomery Theater’s production, and “The History Boys” in the Pig Iron Theatre Company. He is most famed for his work in the Mauckingbird Theatre Co. Peter Reynolds, Mauckingbird’s artistic director, has picked up on Jonigkeit’s “charisma and the force of his performances; his combination of strength and vulnerability.” “It is part of who Evan is,” Reynolds said. “It is genuine and not forced.” Director Matt Pfeiffer cast a performance of a modern “Romeo and Juliet” on Feb. 25- April 11, which starred a riveting Jonigkeit, who exuded sensuality in his role, taking the focal point. Previous teacher Gina Chiolan remarked on Jonigkeit’s ability as a performer. “I taught him, actually in drama and English. Very creative. A lot of talent. And even above and beyond that. He was really genuinely a nice person,” Chiolan said. This hazel-eyed hottie has lit up the stage, and remains true to his roots.

  • America's Fascination with Multiple Murder
    CHAPTER ONE AMERICA’S FASCINATION WITH MULTIPLE MURDER he break of dawn on November 16, 1957, heralded the start of deer hunting T season in rural Waushara County, Wisconsin. The men of Plainfield went off with their hunting rifles and knives but without any clue of what Edward Gein would do that day. Gein was known to the 647 residents of Plainfield as a quiet man who kept to himself in his aging, dilapidated farmhouse. But when the men of the vil- lage returned from hunting that evening, they learned the awful truth about their 51-year-old neighbor and the atrocities that he had ritualized within the walls of his farmhouse. The first in a series of discoveries that would disrupt the usually tranquil town occurred when Frank Worden arrived at his hardware store after hunting all day. Frank’s mother, Bernice Worden, who had been minding the store, was missing and so was Frank’s truck. But there was a pool of blood on the floor and a trail of blood leading toward the place where the truck had been garaged. The investigation of Bernice’s disappearance and possible homicide led police to the farm of Ed Gein. Because the farm had no electricity, the investigators con- ducted a slow and ominous search with flashlights, methodically scanning the barn for clues. The sheriff’s light suddenly exposed a hanging figure, apparently Mrs. Worden. As Captain Schoephoerster later described in court: Mrs. Worden had been completely dressed out like a deer with her head cut off at the shoulders.

  • Surveillance Cameras Are Everywhere These Days. Do They Solve Crime Or Invade Your Privacy? June 30, 2010
    Surveillance cameras are everywhere these days. Do they solve crime or invade your privacy? June 30, 2010 Koeppen said, "If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video might as well be priceless. Law enforcement around the world increasingly rely on a growing network of surveillance cameras to help solve crime. But do more cameras mean more protection or a greater risk of our privacy being invaded?" Whether in the mall, hotels, or public parks and streets, Koeppen said there's a good chance that wherever you go, a surveillance camera is close by. Surveillance cameras have played an important role in the investigation into Stephany Flores' death. While mystery still shrouds Joran van der Sloot's involvement in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, there appears little doubt he was the last person to see Stephany Flores alive based on the surveillance evidence collected. A conclusion helped with the presence surveillance cameras capturing the pair in Peru that fateful night. Video shows van der Sloot and Flores entering a hotel together, but van der Sloot was the only one to ever leave. Law enforcement agencies say surveillance cameras have become a valuable crime-fighting weapon, like capturing the infamous Craigslist killer, who was identified on hotel surveillance. And the bombings in Mumbai and London, Koeppen pointed out, suspects were brought to justice after their images were caught on tape. The Department of Homeland Security has provided $1 billion to cities and towns to install cameras in public places. In New York City, more than 5000 cameras are monitored by the New York Police Department - and Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly wants even more.

    Factiva Page 1 of 1 NEWS Judge dismisses Holloway lawsuit BY ANTHONY M. DESTEFANO. STAFF WRITER 378 words 4 August 2006 Newsday ALL EDITIONS A29 English Copyright 2006, Newsday. All Rights Reserved. A Manhattan state judge yesterday dismissed a lawsuit brought by the parents of Natalee Holloway, the Alabama high schooler who disappeared in Aruba in May 2005, against a Dutch teen once under suspicion in the case. In dismissing the case against Joran van der Sloot, 18, Judge Barbara Kapnick also threw out the claim against his father, Paulus. The elder van der Sloot had been accused in the original complaint for "failing to take reasonable steps to prevent his son from sexually assaulting Natalee Holloway." Holloway's parents, Elizabeth Ann Twitty and Dave Edward Holloway, sued the younger van der Sloot, claiming he injured their daughter. The parents, who sought unspecified damages, argued that New York courts had an interest in seeing that Aruba was safer for the thousands of New York residents who visited the island each year. Natalee Holloway disappeared during a high school class trip to Aruba. Her whereabouts are unknown. Local officials in Aruba, a protectorate of the Netherlands, had taken Joran van der Sloot into custody and questioned him, but have never filed charges in connection with Holloway's disappearance. Holloway's parents believed that New York was an appropriate place to file their lawsuit because a lot of potential witnesses live in the United States. They also claimed that a 17-year-old girl stated she was a prior victim of a sexual assault by Joran van der Sloot but wasn't willing to testify in Aruba, court papers stated.
