Welcome to PA Trench News, your independent news report of Southern PA. We pick up where legacy media leaves off, making sure to follow the stories the whole way through. In LancasterOn Friday Sept 20th, Karina Solenzal-Rodriguez who is 16 and her 3 month old son were reported missing from their Lancaster home. As of 09/22/24 I have not been able to find an update stating that the teen and infant has been found or returned home. While searching for an update, I found a post from November 20th 2023 where Lancaster City posted the SAME TEEN missing since August of 2023. Apparently this is not the first time that she has absconded from Lancaster. In the 2023 post, the family stated to police that she might have been suspected to be in Alabama. It appears that during her 2023 departure, she had been missing since August 15th 2023 and the Lancaster police post was in November of 2023. What happened in the 3 months between the teen being missing and the Lancaster police being notified is a mystery.... If you have any information, please contact the Lancaster City police at717-735-3300. My favorite Facebook comment regarding this matter as "Why no Amber alert?" That is indeed an interesting question however we would need clarification on rather the Amber Alert was for the missing 16 year old or for her infant son and that is a whole other podcast in itself. In Schuylkill County The Skook news also posted an article about a missing teen on 09/20/24, Jeimily Juarbe who is 17 years old. She has been missing since 09/04/24. Police believe that she may be in Reading, with a boyfriend named Damani and may be in danger. Anyone with any information should contact Pottsville Police at 570-622-1234. And finally, incase you didn't notice, yesterday on 422 there was a group of riders on ATVs, 4 Wheelers, motorcycles and other misc sports bikes overtaking the roads. People are reporting that the gang was blocking traffic, overtaking intersections, running read lights and pulling out in front of people. There was also a video that surfaced late in the evening where the members were drinking at Turkey Hill in Womelsdorf PA and doing burnouts under the gas pumps. As most of us know, rural towns often do not have a 24 hour police presence which means that PA state police is responsible for patrolling those areas. As far as I can tell, it seems that the ballsy Boot-leg Bandidos were able to rule the roads for the majority of the day. Local commentors on facebook stated that the Boot-leg Bandidos were driving on sidewalks and overtaking establishments. Reading City Council has been working on amending ordinances to address some of the issues of the illegal ATVs/ dirtbikes exc. They are working towards coming to something that resembles an agreement to impose fines and require gas stations to shut off pumps when the gangs arrive. Legislation was signed in 2022 that bans people from driving ATVs and dirtbikes on public roadways, sidewalks and pedacycle lanes. It also allows police to confiscate and destroy these vehicles. If you didn't know, the rules are very strict governing ATVs/dirtbikes exc. In vague detail, off road vehicles can not be ridden on streets. They must be registered, insured and plated by DCNR at some riding establishments. If you've ever been to FRO or AOAA, there are also waivers that are required to be signed before riding at their establishments. Specific helmets are required and there are many age restrictions. I personally saw a couple on a moped riding on the side of the road, trying to catch up with the group with their small child in between them. I hate to state the obvious but this is NOT SAFE.
