Lodzinski’s son, 5-year-old Timothy Wiltsey, disappeared in May 1991 after attending a carnival in Sayreville with his mother. Lodzinski was considered a suspect early on because she gave conflicting descriptions of the people who she said she saw kidnap her son. Authorities found Wiltsey’s body almost a year later in a marshy area near an office where Lodzinski had previously worked. The cause of death could not be determined because of the level of decay the body had gone through before it was found....

The 528 additional coronavirus cases today more than triples the state’s new cases reported on Monday, and doubles the 198 new cases added on Tuesday.

Conservative Justice Brian Hagedorn dissented to the state-wide emergency order, which was knocked down in a 4-3 ruling, being rejected by the court.
