Jim Pasquarette retired earlier this year as a three-star general officer after a 38-year career in the Army. He served in the Pentagon as Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army G-8 and as Commander of the United States Army Japan before that -- the last part of a career that has taken him all over the world, from West Germany during the Cold War, to Washington DC amid a global pandemic. He sat down with KYW Newsradio In Depth's Tom Rickert to talk about his career, the people he's served with, and what nearly four decades in the army has taught him about leadership, mentorship, service, family, and humility.

Gone Cold: Philadelphia Unsolved Murders | A KYW Newsradio Podcast
September 11th is a day America will never forget. What began as a ‘bright blue day', quickly turned into a generationally traumatic event -- the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil in US history. While the nation watched in horror, first responders and investigators jumped in, trying to pick up the pieces and give the victims back to their loved ones. Two of those people were from the Philadelphia region. Veteran Philadelphia police officer Jon Taggart works in the Crime Scene Unit. He travelled to Ground Zero with a small team and they spent weeks collecting the remains of victims and locating pieces of the planes. Dr. Bridget McLaughlin is a dentist in New Jersey. She was one of dozens of dentists who assisted the New York Medical Examiner's office in identifying 9-11 victims through dental records.

Gone Cold: Philadelphia Unsolved Murders | A KYW Newsradio Podcast
In February of 1957 the body of a young boy was found in a box in the woods near Susquehanna Road in Philadelphia. More than 60 years later, the identity of The Boy in the Box and the identity of his killer remain unknown. When the Boy was found, his body was photographed and flyers seeking information were distributed all over Philadelphia. Bill Fleisher and Barb Cohan were kids at the time. They saw the flyers, and the image of the boy's body was permanently etched in their minds. Fleisher became one of the founders of the Vidocq Society, a group of investigators, forensic scientists, and experts who help law enforcement solve crimes. Cohan, a former federal prosecutor, has been a member of the Vidocq Society for more than two decades. Walt Hunter covered the investigation into the Boy in the Box for all of his 30-plus year career as a Philadelphia investigative reporter. Now, he's the public voice and face of the Vidocq Society. Cohan, Fleisher, Hunter, and the rest of the Vidocq Society have remained dedicated to solving the mystery of the Boy in the Box and putting a name on his gravestone.

UPDATE: The Governor has extended the deadline for enforcement until Monday, March 23, at 8:00 AM. We know a bit more than we did last night about the ordered closure of non-life-sustaining businesses in Pennsylvania amid the coronavirus pandemi. And since then, some of the business types have switched categories. Ian Bush and Tom Rickert talk about the changes and wrap up one of the strangest weeks in the news we can remember. The Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Protection asks businesses with questions as to whether their organization needs to close to email ra-dcedcs@pa.gov. Any business interested in seeking a waiver to the order can reach out to the state directly by emailing ra-dcexemption@pa.gov or calling 1-877-PA-HEALTH and select option 1.
Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf has ordered the closure of all non-life-sustaining businesses starting at 8pm Thursday, March 19th. KYW Newsradio's Ian Bush, Charlotte Reese, and Tom Rickert break down the five-page list sent out by the governor's office to try and figure out what exactly is on the list of life-sustaining businesses, and what isn't.
Listeners have been sending us questions about the COVID-19 outbreak, so we asked KYW Newsradio medical editor Dr. Brian McDonough to come on KYW In Depth to answer them. Today, Dr. McDonough tackles questions like "What's the difference between a pandemic and an epidemic?" and "How can people in New Jersey and Pennsylvania get tested for coronavirus? Why can't you just drive up to a place and get tested?" If you have a question about the coronavirus, give us a call at 855-KYW-NEWS. Dr. McDonough will keep answering your questions in the coming weeks. Again, 855-KYW-NEWS to leave your questions about the coronavirus.
Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf ordered the closing of all schools, community centers, gyms, and entertainment venues in Montgomery County, the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in Pennsylvania. Jim Melwert joins KYW In Depth to break down what that means to people who live or work in Montgomery County, and whether something similar could be coming to people who live in other counties in Pennsylvania. This is the first episode of a new series from KYW In Depth on the coronavirus outbreak. Whenever something important happens or we have breaking news about the virus in the Philadelphia area, we'll put out an episode about what happened and why it matters to you.
Go to pretty much any big city in America and you'll see people zooming around on electric scooters. But not in Philly. Or Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, or Allentown for that matter. Not legally, at least. This week on the podcast, KYW Newsradio City Hall bureau chief Pat Loeb breaks down how a Senator from central PA and a Segway lobbyist have kept Pennsylvania (mostly) scooter free for more than a decade, and Matt Nichol from Philly E-Riders pitches a high tech, green version of the future of urban transportation.
The Phillie Phanatic has held down the job as the Phillies mascot for more than 40 years. But now a feud between the design firm behind the mascot and the Phillies organization means that suddenly, the future of the Phanatic could be a question mark. This week on the podcast, KYW Newsradio's Paul Kurtz breaks down what makes the Phanatic unique in the universe of baseball mascots, and Peter Wakiyama, a partner at Pepper Hamilton's intellectual property department helps us understand what's actually happening, why the two sides are fighting, and what the odds are that 2020 ends up being the Phanatic's last season in Philadelphia.
The Mariner East Pipeline system goes across 17 counties of Pennsylvania, carrying natural gas liquids past neighborhoods and schools. Some residents of Delaware and Chester Counties say issues like water contamination have been happening ever since construction started. This week on the podcast, KYW In-Depth producer Charlotte Reese went to talk to people in Thornbury Township, Delaware County who say their lives have changed ever since the work on the pipeline started in their back yards.

Prohibition went into effect in America 100 years ago, and the City of Brotherly Love tested the ban on alcohol to its limits. Philadelphia responded to the 18th Amendment with thousands of speakeasies, bathtubs full of gin, a wave of organized crime, and public officials who looked the other way. This week on KYW In Depth, the Beer and Booze Broz take over the podcast to tell uncorked stories of prohibition in Philadelphia.
This week, Philadelphia's major broadcast, print, and digital media outlets came together in an unprecedented show of unity after certain reporters, including KYW Newsradio's own Kristen Johanson, were excluded from a press conference at the Philadelphia District Attorney's office. This week's episode is the story behind that incident.

Jennifer Tong was taken from her Marple Township home and murdered in 1993. Her children were 11 and 14 years old, left without a mother. Jeanette Tong doesn't like to talk about the day her life changed forever, 26 years ago, when she learned her mom was murdered. But she came to talk to us anyway. Joe Maguire clearly remembers June 26, 1993. He was the Radnor Police detective on duty that weekend, and he was taking a class at the firehouse when his pager went off, summoning him to the scene. 26 years after the murder, Jeanette, Joe, and T.J. Schreiber, the Radnor Police detective now in charge of the investigation, want to make sure you don't forget about Jennifer Tong. If you know anything about the murder of Jennifer Tong, contact Radnor Detectives by email at detectives@radnor.org, or call them at 610-688-0503 and ask to speak to a Radnor detective.

Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf granted clemency this year to 8 people serving life sentences. One of those people is David Sheppard. He's 54 years old, and in 1992 he was one of four people convicted of the robbery and murder of Thomas Brannan, a pharmacy owner in Overbrook. Sheppard served 27 years in prison before he was given his freedom.

Navigating the criminal justice system can be long and painful for families of murder victims. It sometimes takes more than a year for a murder case to wind its way through court in Philadelphia. Rusten Johnson, whose daughter Kierra was murdered in 2017, has experienced this first hand. He’s sat through more than three dozen court listings, waiting for justice for his daughter.
In the next couple of weeks, you're going to see some changes coming to this podcast feed -- starting with the name and how often new episodes will be released. Scroll Down is becoming KYW In Depth. Every Friday, starting on December 6th, we'll take one of the local news stories that KYW's reporters are covering on the radio, and we'll dig into it on the podcast, talking about why it matters and how it will affect people who live in the Philly area. The podcast name and artwork are going to change. What's not going to change is the high quality storytelling and real, factual, on-the-scene reporting you expect from KYW Newsradio and KYW's original podcasts. We want you to meet the team making KYW In Depth, so Charlotte, Allie, and Carol are on the podcast this week to introduce themselves. We're excited about the new project, and we're exciting about going weekly! See you on the 6th.
Port Richmond is a Philadelphia neighborhood known for its great polish food, the best pound cake in Pennsylvania, and a working class, blue collar vibe. But for the better part of the past couple years, the neighborhood has been turned upside down. Two different infrastructure projects have claimed the trolley, the ramp from I-95, and the main road through the business district. Today on the podcast, we're following John McDevitt through Port Richmond to meet some of the characters who live there and find out how the neighborhood is reacting to the changes.

The Beer and Booze Broz wrap up the ten day extravaCANza known as Philly Beer Week with some new knowledge, some furry friends, and a few times they thought they turned the recorder on but realized later they were calling their Aunt Janet over and over again and while Aunt Janet really liked to hear from them you can't make a podcast out of that because no one would really want to listen to it except maybe Aunt Janet. She has good taste though. Then, they find out the difference between a New England IPA and that hazy jawn everyone's going crazy about, from the guy who discovered it in the first place!After that, they pet dogs with their dawgs at Dogfish Head and Flying Dog.

On the bright winter morn of February 9th the Beer and Booze Broz sent out their Beer Pigeons to alert the Booze Army. And the Booze Army responded with gusto and fervor to Yards Brewing Company on 500 Spring Garden Street for a meetup that dreams are made of. Many of you traveled from far and wide to bask in the presence of the Broz, and to you we say, you're welcome.

After history's greatest meetup, the boys travel by car service and Beer Pigeon to the Bourse building in Old City to eat some candy with their beverages.

Earlier this year, we put out an episode about homeless encampments, occupied by drug users, that were springing up under railroad tracks in Philly. We called it "The People in the Tunnels." Part two came out a couple months later, about a pilot program the city developed in two of the tunnels.

Gone Cold: Philadelphia Unsolved Murders | A KYW Newsradio Podcast
Tomiene Jones worked the night shift at the post office. She would take her young daughter to the babysitter, and then drive to work. She'd done this many times before, and each time, she came back to pick up her daughter after her shift. Then they'd go home. But on April 17th, 2002, Tomiene didn't go to work. She didn't pick up her daughter. And she didn't come home. Nobody ever saw Tomiene Jones again. Gone Cold is a true crime podcast about unsolved murders in the Philadelphia area. This case takes place in South Jersey. Our goal is to document what happens after the taking of a life, the collateral damage that takes place after a senseless act of violence. To tell the stories of the people left behind, and the people who are still on the job. To remember the lives of the ones who aren't with us. And, hopefully, to help police get tips that help them solve the case. If you have a tip about this case, please call the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office at (856) 384-5500.

The Beer and Booze Broz visit Home Sweet Homebrew at 2008 Sansom Street to meet the obviously married couple who taught the masters how to do their thing.

From there, it's time for smoked meats and fine wines. Are we in Italy?

Mary Baxter, AKA "Isis tha Savior" is fighting against youth homelessness and pushing for protections for incarcerated women -- two subjects she's intimately familiar with. Mary's first bout with homelessness came at age 11. She gave birth to her son while shackled to her hospital bed, and then did seven months in prison before she could spend time with him again. Now she's giving talks at places like Harvard University and Capitol Hill, and joined forces with Senators to push for national legislation to help women be able to serve time without losing dignity. Holli Stephens and Antionette Lee filmed a documentary about Mary for KYW Newsradio, and they brought her story to Scroll Down.

When an engine on Southwest Airlines flight 1380 failed in midair, cracking a window and tragically causing the death of a passenger, every single passenger on the Boeing 737 dealt with some very real emotions at the same time, in their own way.

This is the story of what happened on that flight, from the people who lived through it and the reporters who covered it on the ground. Jennifer Riordan leaves behind her husband and two children.
