HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) A prosecutor says a woman who was strangled to death in her Pennsylvania home before the structure was set afire almost two years ago was able to give authorities the proof they needed to identify her killer.
Dauphin County District Attorney Fran Chardo told jurors Monday that DNA from Calvin Purdie Jr. was found under the fingernails of the one hand of Charlotte Chaplin that wasn t incinerated. Authorities also accuse him of setting the fire to try to cover up the May 2019 crime in Hershey.
“She scratched him on the face and on the arm, putting his DNA under her fingernails…marking the person who had killed her,” Chardo said in his opening argument. “She gave us the tools to achieve justice in this case.”
More than 40 rides will be open, Hersheypark characters will be out and about, and the amusement park’s zoo, Zoomerica, will be also open.
Springtime in the Park, which is celebrating its 115th year, will also include the reopening of one of the park’s major roller coasters, the SuperDooperLooper.
The ride was closed for months due to COVID-19 delaying maintenance needed on the coaster, PennLive reported.
The spring event will also include the reopening of Hersheypark’s Milton’s Ice Cream Parlor in the Chocolatetown section of the park.
Milton’s Ice Cream Parlor will be serving food at all new dining locations, according to the Hersheypark website. The eatery is inspired by Milton Snavely Hershey, the original founder of the chocolate factory.
