Woman, 92, murdered for loose change, officials say

ELIZABETH (WABC) -- The suspect is held in the Union County jail held on more than a million dollars bail and charged with a heinous murder that even hardened investigators cannot believe.

"A defenseless woman, who was in her home minding her own business, was strangled by Daniel Rios," Union County Prosecutor Theodore Romankow said.

That 38-year old suspect is accused of pushing his way into a home, where he came face to face with 92-year old Annette Hemple.

"She attempted to scream. He put his hand on her face and pushed her a distance into the living room, onto the floor and he strangled her," Romankow said.

Investigators said he went through the apartment collecting cups of coins. In all, he found just 360 dollars in loose change, which he cashed in at a local supermarket.

"He acknowledged he did this. That he killed this lady," romankow said.

A week before the murder, Rios was spotted by residents in a nearby block, allegedly breaking into another house. He was followed and reported to police, who later issue a warrant for his arrest.

He was found in Newark, police say, and revealed his disturbing pattern.

"Most of the time he would walk from home to home, ring the door bell. If the occupants didn't answer he would break into the home," Elizabeth Det. Tom Kuczer said.

It is not immediately clear if he has a lawyer. He was arrested last week and is being held on $1.5 million bail.

Officials said Hemple was last seen alive on May 24, and discovered dead a few hours later, by a family member who lived on the second-floor of Hemple's two-family home.

Teen crashes in NJ down since law change

By Scott Curkin; Eyewitness NewsWAYNE, New Jersey (WABC) -- The number of fatal motor vehicle accidents involving teenagers is down 42 percent since New Jersey's Graduated Driver's License began ten years ago.

Even if one teen's life was saved over the last 10 years, the law would be a success.

But when state officials say teen motor vehicle fatalities are down 42 percent, "That is clearly significant. Many lives have been saved," said David Hughes with AAA Clubs of New Jersey.

Hughes says the organization was a driving force behind the law passed back in 2001.

The law restricts when teens can drive, limits the number of passengers, and restricts the use of electronic devices.

Young drivers also must display a red decal on the license plate to make it easier for police to enforce the law.

So out of all the rules and regulations, the one teens tell us they pay the least attention to is the decal on the plate.

Jamie Kempin is a senior at Wayne Valley High School. She and her friends know the law well, but surprisingly enough, think other factors have more to do with the decrease in teen fatalities on the road.

"Kids know a lot more now than we used to. We know how to be safe, it's drilled into our heads," she said.

Whatever the case, better education and more responsible teens, a law that lays out very clear rules and you can't argue with the numbers.

Less teen deaths on the road is of course a good thing, especially with prom season upon us.
