This week, we are catching up on several cases you may have missed this month.
First, we’ll get an update on the case of a nurse in the Detroit area who has been accused of sexually abusing patients for years after a whistleblower complaint.
Then, well look into two cold cases – one in Minnesota that’s still open and one in Pennsylvania that authorities say has been solved after more than 60 years.
Finally, we’ll return to both of those states to check in on a number of cases currently under investigation, from two bodies found dead in a Best Buy parking lot to a shooting on the campus of Historically Black College.

Ruth DiRienzo-Whitehead: the Mother, the Monster - Part 2
No one wants to believe a mother could actually kill her own son; holding a belt tight around his neck and squeezing until he took his last breath. No, an act this disturbing would defy comprehension, go against every innate parental instinct to protect, care for, and love your child. According to prosecutors, the evidence was conclusive: a suburban Philadelphia mom knowingly and purposefully strangled her 11-year old in an act of retribution. She wanted to get back at her husband for letting her down. Could this really be true? Was Ruth DiRienzo-Whitehead the monster Montgomery District Attorneys made her out to be? Or, did she snap? Did the pressures in her life become too much to bear? In Ruth DiRienzo-Whitehead: the Mother, the Monster, KYW Newsradio Suburban Bureau Chief Jim Melwert empties his notebook from nearly a year of covering this chilling, gut wrenching case that left a trail from the Philadelphia suburbs to the Jersey Shore. Be sure to listen to both parts. Further reading: Horsham mom tells police she strangled son Ruth DiRienzo-Whitehead sentenced to life in prison
