Vigil held for 2 Pennsylvania troopers shot, 1 killed

JUNIATA COUNTY, Pa. (WGAL) — Nearly 100 people gathered in the heart of Mifflintown, Pennsylvania, Sunday night to honor two state troopers –. 45-year-old James Wagner who was shot and critically injured, and 29-year-old Jacques Rouge who was shot and killed in a shootout.
PA state trooper killed ID’d as Jacques Rougeau Jr., Lt. James Wagner also wounded by gunman
“We’re just a huge family in Juniata County. We have 24,000 people, but we are all one big family,” said Glenn Kerstetter.
Kerstetter has been an EMT in Juniata County for more than 30 years. He was on duty Saturday when the call came over the radio.
“We were all on high alert that day because we didn’t know what was going on. We didn’t know who they were targeting,” he said.
For a second, he said he was worried that he might not come home but he had a job to do and he did it, so Sunday, he was recognized alongside his colleagues, including those there only in spirit.
“I’m sure that makes every one of us feel we needed. We wanted, we appreciated,” Kerstetter said.
Some of those in attendance knew one or both of the troopers, but most didn’t. However, that didn’t matter because all of them believe a small community is a tight-knit community and the people that protect it every day should be embraced by it.
“Like, this is what it’s all about. That’s why these people are here. They’re here because they want to be part of this,” said one community member at the vigil.

‘He preyed on us’: Pennsylvania woman scammed out of $45,000 in sophisticated ‘dealership cloning’ scheme
When Adrianna Parsons and her husband found a shiny Lexus SUV listed for sale on CARFAX, they thought they were in safe hands.
“It all looked very legitimate at first glance,” said Parsons, a resident of Doylestown, Pennsylvania.
The vehicle was listed for $46,000 and linked to a dealership called Specialty Auto in Lincoln, Nebraska. Concerned about buying a car from a dealership 1,400 miles away, Parsons called the number listed on the website and spoke with a man claiming to be the owner, Jim Woods.
“He played the role. He preyed on us. He knew that I was worried. My gut was telling me to stop. I didn’t listen to it well enough,” she shared with ABC 6 Action News.
The man offered to send a custom video of the SUV — what Parsons called a “cold video” — to confirm he had the car. Reassured, the couple agreed to wire $45,000. The SUV never arrived.
What Parsons didn’t know was that the man wasn’t the real Jim Woods — and the website wasn’t legitimate. Though Jim Woods does own a dealership by that name, he told ABC 6 he doesn’t sell cars online and has no internet presence. Multiple other victims have since contacted him with similar stories.

What is dealership cloning?
The scam that ensnared Parsons is a sophisticated form of fraud called dealership cloning.
Scammers replicate the name, location, and even employee details of real dealerships to create convincing fake websites. They then upload fake listings to platforms like CARFAX, Facebook Marketplace, or Craigslist, often using stolen images and real VINs.
Despite being a trusted resource, CARFAX listings aren’t immune to scams. When reached for comment, the company declined to explain how it vets dealer listings.
In a statement, it said, “If CARFAX is made aware of a potentially fraudulent listing, the team acts swiftly to investigate and remove [it].”
Since Action News began investigating, the fake Specialty Auto website has been taken down. Local police and the Nebraska DMV are investigating. The FBI has also been alerted. Still, Parsons says the loss was “cataclysmic” for her family.

How to protect yourself from dealership cloning scams
As more car sales move online, so do the risks. Here’s how to protect yourself:
-
Verify the seller: Confirm the dealership’s website URL and call the dealership. Be wary of inconsistent contact details, slight misspellings or prices that are too good to be true. You can also search the dealership’s name alongside terms like “scam” or “fraud” to find any complaints.
-
Avoid risky payments: Never wire money, pay with gift cards, or send cryptocurrency. Instead, use a credit card or a reputable escrow service that holds the funds until the vehicle is delivered and verified.
-
Get proof of the car: Ask for a custom video to prove the seller has the vehicle. Order a VIN report independently and cross-check it with photos and seller info. If buying remotely, hire an independent mechanic to inspect the vehicle in person.
-
Trust your instincts: If a deal feels too good to be true, it probably is. In Parsons’ case, her intuition told her to walk away but the scammer’s smooth demeanor made her second-guess herself.
With many legitimate dealerships and platforms moving their business online, the burden increasingly falls on consumers to vet who they’re buying from and whether the transaction is a possible scam.

Pennsylvania State Police mark 50 years since Delaware County teen Wendy Eaton went missing

The cold case of Wendy Eaton, a 15-year-old girl who vanished while walking to Media Borough in Delaware County, has hit 50 years in the cold case unit of the Pennsylvania State Police.
Eaton, who was a sophomore at Penncrest High School, was last seen at 2:40 p.m. at the intersection of Indian Lane and Media Station Road in Middletown Township on May 17, 1975. She had stayed home that day while her family went golfing, planning to walk into town to buy a birthday present and card for her older brother.
Police say at the time of her disappearance, Eaton was wearing a yellow sleeveless terrycloth blouse, cutoff denim shorts, and white sneakers with a blue stripe. She may have been wearing gold-rimmed eyeglasses and possibly a class ring with a red stone. She is deaf in her right ear, has pierced ears, and is left-handed.

Described as a good student, musically talented, and active in church and scouting, Wendy was known for her kindness and reliability. Her family emphasized that she would never have missed her church choir rehearsal scheduled for that evening.
Officials say public assistance is vital in advancing cold case investigations like Wendy Eaton’s disappearance.
Over time, new information, eyewitness accounts, or details that may have been overlooked can emerge, helping to break through investigative dead ends. The Pennsylvania State Police urges anyone with information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, to come forward and help bring closure to Wendy’s family and the community.
