Two Unrelated Bodies Identified in PA, MD Cases

The remains of 36-year-old James William Martello, found in the Delaware River in Upper Mount Bethel Township, Pennsylvania, on May 25, have been identified, with last known addresses in Pottsville and Mount Carmel. Northampton County Coroner Zachary Lysek confirmed the identification, while the cause and manner of death remain under investigation. Authorities had earlier sought public assistance in identifying Martello, citing distinctive tattoos and clothing. In a separate case, Maryland and Delaware authorities are investigating the disappearance and presumed homicide of 3-year-old Nola Dinkins after a body was recovered in Cecil County, Maryland; police now suspect the mother's initial abduction report was false, though identification of the body is pending. Both investigations are ongoing, and police are urging anyone with information to come forward.
