Pennsylvania DA hopeful that discovered remains belong to restaurant owner who went missing in 2017: 'closure'

Old Forge, Pennsylvania, investigators discovered human remains on Tuesday and are hopeful they are those of a restaurant owner who went missing in 2017.

Lackawanna County District Attorney Mark Powell’s office announced the discovery of human remains on Facebook on Tuesday, addressing concerns from the public about a significant law enforcement presence in the Connell’s Patch section of Old Forge.

In the post, the DA’s office said the activity was related to the active investigation into the disappearance of Robert Baron Sr. in 2017.

According to the DA’s Facebook posts, Baron’s family became concerned when he did not show up to work at the family’s Old Forge business, Ghigiarelli’s Pizza on Jan. 26, 2017.

The family told investigators Baron had a consistent routine, so when he did not show up for work, it was unusual, and they reported him missing to the Old Forge Police Department.

Officers who arrived at the restaurant immediately noticed that an altercation occurred inside, leading them to believe he was likely the victim of a homicide.

"While we are hopeful that they are the remains of Robert Baron Sr., we will have to await DNA testing to confirm the identity," Powell said. "I have spoken with the Baron family and remain hopeful that we can provide them with the closure they deserve. The search will continue for as long as it takes to make sure we have left no stone unturned."

With the assistance of the Old Forge Police Department, Pennsylvania State Police and FBI, Powell said, unexplored investigative avenues involving recent advancement in forensic technology will be pursued.

The investigation remains active, and the DA encourages anyone with information about Baron’s disappearance to come forward.

Jim Gaffigan says comedy audiences are tired of political drama and just want to laugh again

Comedian Jim Gaffigan revealed in an interview why he's mostly steering clear of politics in his stand-up material these days. Gaffigan told Variety that comedy fans don’t attend stand-up shows to hear lectures. They go to escape the real world and simply laugh at silly jokes. When the interviewer mentioned the recent crossover between comedy and politics, Gaffigan responded, "People are coming to a show to have a break from some of this drama. That’s not to say there aren’t great comedians who talk about social commentary. The spirit of George Carlin is very important."  And he recalled his political jokes after President Donald Trump's first election victory in 2016 not landing how he'd imagined. COMEDIAN DUSTY SLAY REVEALS HOW FAITH AND SOBRIETY PAVED THE ROAD TO HIS STAND-UP SUCCESS "I remember when Trump was first elected, and my opening act had some political jokes.

Prosecutors present final witness tying Ryan Routh to Trump's golf club and gun purchase

Prosecutors on Friday presented their final witness in the federal trial of Ryan Routh, accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump at his West Palm Beach golf club on Sept. 15, 2024.

McGreevy read aloud a handwritten note Routh allegedly left in a box at Lazaro Plata’s home in Greensboro, North Carolina. The note began: "Dear World, .. This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, but I am so sorry I failed you... it’s up to you now to complete the job." The letter also mentioned a $150,000 reward.
