An autopsy shows they both died from stab wounds and not the fire. Nbc 10 found out one person is in custody now, police were called to the 100 block of haddon avenue around 1 30. The building houses new jerseys Child Protection and Child Welfare agency. A Union Representative tells nbc 10 the victim is a worker for that agency and there have been concerns about security within that building. Our members do a dangerous job on a daily basis. And theres no one here to protect them. You can have anything thats disgruntled, upset, anybody can come in off the street and assault like they did today. Nbc 10 has calls in to the state to find out more about this afternoon and incident. Were waiting for the calls to be returned. Legendary philadelphia Comedian Bill Cosby is in the spotlight again because of alleged sexual assault. Just within the past 90 minutes nbc 10 received a joint clarification from the cosby camp and his accuser. Now, talk of the 2006 crime allegation rekindled after nbc considered bringing back his hit series the cosby show. Cosby canceled several public appearances. Harry hairston joins us now with what could lie ahead for bill cosby. Reporter well, renee, i just got this statement from bill cosbys attorney and the attorney that represented the woman who filed charges against bill cosby. In the statement, coming out of the cosby camp insists the decadeold allegations are just that, decadeold discredited allegations. From the camp of the whom who filed the charges, this was resolved mutually, satisfaction between both sides. Still years later, they say they were sexually assaulted by the comedian, and are demanding an apology by cosby although hes never been charged with a crime. I think the thing to do is not to dignify any of these allegations with a response. Reporter thats the advice from philadelphia former prosecutor. The allegations never led to anc charges. Bill cosby to come out at this point and say the woman was discredited because she settled her lawsuit says absolutely what . It really doesnt say anything. Reporter when we first break this story, a former temple employee did file charges against cosby a year after her alleged assault. She made her report at a Police Department in canada near her home. A long time cosby friend who still meets with the comedian regularly says he never believed the allegations. My relationship with bill is different from what somebody else may have had or may not have had and i dont know the reasons for doing that. But i can say honestly, hes been a giving person and im not saying this i dont have to say anything thats not true. As we first reported, a source told the nbc news the former temple employee recorded a call from cosby offering her money not to go to the police. Our source says those tapes were allegedly turned over to the Montgomery County District Attorneys office. The d. A. Would not confirm or deny if those tapes ever existed. If they do exist in some type of case file, is it possible that anyone could get their hands on those papes Going Forward and cause more issues . Theoretically, if tapes like that existed they could always be subpoenaed by way of, you know, some form of subpoena deu duces tacum. But what do you need them for . Reporter a am standing outside the office of the former District Attorney who was challenged with whether to prosecute bill cosby or not. He decided to sit down and talk to us in lieu of what recently happened. Ill bring you what he has to say coming up tonight at 6 00. Reporting live in ardmore, harry hairston, nbc 10 news. We just heard harry say it but it bears repeating. Bill cosby has never been charged with any crime. Well stay on top of this story. And we have this just in, a philadelphia priest has died while appealing his sexual abuse conviction. 67yearold reverend Charles Engel hart was serving a 6 to 12year prison sentence. He died while being treated for heart problems. We have new information on the man accused sending a berth day card laced with ricin. 19yearold Nicholas Hellman of hatboro pleaded guilty to attempted murder. He was first arrested in march after police say he placed a scratch and sniff birthday card in the mailbox of a romantic rival. Today, prosecutors also revealed hellman tried to get a fellow inmate to retaliate against investigators involved in the case. Hes now facing new charges. Several members of the Easton Area School board resign, it is being suggested. This all stems from the investigation into drago. Administrators believe he was passing information on to school board members. While it found no criminal activity, they did find some were willing to overlook his transgressions in order to keep him employed. We are concerned that their continued servicec continues t put a strain on the relationship between school districts, administrators and the school board and that a newly constituted school board without holdovers would be in the best interest of the Easton Area School district. The grand jury specifically named robert fennel, frank pittebaum and Kerry Leonard ellison as members who should resign but it cannot enforce that recommendation. Weve reached out for a response but havent heard back yet. Controversy growing in our area on the eve of a key vote. The issue a pipeline that would run from canada to the u. S. Gulf coast. The house of representatives passed the keystone xl pipeline project last week. Tomorrow, the senate gets its turn. Activists are concerned about the Environmental Impact the project could have. Nbc 10 Delaware Bureau reporter tim furlong live out d outside tom carpetesss Wilmington Office. They were out here in front of senator tom carpers office, trying to get him to change his mind. The pipeline wouldnt run anywhere near delaware to be clear. Environmentalists all over the country say it would be bad for the entire nation. No pipeline reporter on a horribly rainy day, even though senator tom carper was in washington, you still had people who stood outside his Wilmington Office to send the democrat a message about his expected yes vote on the keystone xl pipeline. Hes playing games with us. Hes playing games with the environment. Hes rolling the dice with climate change. Thats horrible. The keystone xl project is the next major proposed piece of an existing pipeline that would get crude oil from alberta, canada, straight to the gulf of mexico. Opponents here and the around the nation say the type of crude in canada is harder to subtract and far worse for the environment. They are also concerned about pipeline leaks. Supporters of the plan say the keystone xl would create thousands of jobs and cut u. S. Dependence on foreign oil. Dont see the economics, the math working out. Reporter via face time we spoke with the university of delaware Professor Energy and climate. I asked him to objectively give me the pros and cons of the pipeline. He does not see any pros. It fails on environmental grounds and economic grounds as well. Reporter he didnt think it makes it much less reliant on middle east oil either. He believes this is the wrong investment to make. I think if weve got the money to spend it, it would be better to spend it in technology, innovation, a low carbon future which is where the rest of the world is moving. Reporter senator carper sent me a statement saying he supports common sense measures to cut dependence on fossil fuels. Opponents say this makes it easier to move fossil fuels around. Delawares other senator, chris coons got off of traernin a lit while ago. He did not tell us how hes going to vote. If it gets to president obama, its looking more and more like he would veto it. Count on nbc 10 to follow this vote tomorrow. It should be interesting. Live in wilmington, tim furlong, nbc 10 news. Nbc 10 first alert weather with chief meteorologist glenn hurricane schwartz.

During his visit hes expected to preside over mass outside on the ben franklin parkway at the Philadelphia Museum of art. The world meeting of families will take place in september. Of course as many of you remember, this will not be the first time a pope visits our area. In 1979 more than 1 Million People flocked to the city to see Pope John Paul ii. Look whos here, someone else you may remember, Terry Ruggles who covered the story of the popes visit back then. Terry is joining us live from our digital operations center. So nice to see you, terry. Tell us what it was like in 79. Jim, the area was electrified 35 years ago. There were a Million People on the parkway but the pope landed at Philadelphia International and he was greeted by the mayor who got down on his knee there, frank rizzo did, and then there were a Million People on broad street, all the way from where the Sports Complex is all the way up to city hall. Were talking maybe 2 Million People. This entire city, you couldnt get a hotel room for several miles around the philadelphia area. Theres that cavalcade coming up broad street. We did it at quite a clip. People were cheering all along the way. You have to understand that 1. 1 billion, thats how big the Catholic Church is, all had their eyes collectively on the city of brotherly love. Terry, bringing it to the pren, t present, the contemporary Catholic Church has struggled. What was the mood about the popes visit back then . Thats a good question, renee. What was happening back then as we were proud and happy that the pope chose to come to philadelphia. There was the big conclave you were talking about. He was coming in. One of the galvanizing things is the way the ladies in the river wards and the churches got together to make food for people coming in from out of town. I covered churches up in reading that were making blankets and pillows and keepsakes that people could take with them. So the hubbub in the church was very low on the totem pole of what was important back then. The entire Delaware Valley was galvanized on how exciting this was economically and spiritually for the city of philadelphia and the surrounding area. Can you think back to that famous moment when mayor rizzo kissed the popes ring . What was reaction to that . A lot of us didnt see it until the picture afterwards, that famous black and white picture. I think a lot of people were taken aback. Frank rizzo was a very proud man but humility was the word of of the day when Pope John Paul ii landed in philadelphia. Terry ruggles, thanks so much for recollecting that moment for us in 1979. Great to see you. Thanks, terry. Now, coming up on nbc 10 news at 6 00, well hear more from Terry Ruggles on the popes 1979 visit. Terry tells us what the head of the Philadelphia Police had to say back then, told him about the popes visit that sent a chill up terrys spine. Nbc10.
