• Long, Grimley lift Holy Spirit past Our Lady of Mercy (nj.com subscription) — Holy Spirit’s softball team picked up a 6-3 home win in Absecon, rallying from an early 3-0 deficit behind big bats from Grace Long and Emma Grimley. Strong pitching from Joy Leonetti and key hits from Kinsey Hagan helped the Spartans control the final six innings against Our Lady of Mercy. 
• Reward Offered in Parkway Murders (thesandpaper.net) — A long-unsolved 1969 double murder near the Garden State Parkway is revisited through the lens of a major “breakthrough” once announced from the Absecon State Police barracks, where victims’ fathers offered a $20,000 reward. Despite sketches, press conferences, and dozens of tips flooding Absecon-based investigators, the case remained unsolved for years, leaving lingering questions that still resonate locally.
