New developments are unfolding surrounding the disappearance of Elizabeth “Beth” Capaldi, the Bucks County woman who went missing two months ago.

On Thursday, Capaldi’s husband, Stephen, was taken into custody for questioning in relation to his wife’s disappearance, law enforcement sources familiar with the situation but not authorized to speak publicly told The Inquirer. By Friday, the sources said, he led investigators through the Hog Island area, near the Philadelphia International Airport — about an hour from the couple’s Sellersville home.

CBS Philadelphia reported that law enforcement agencies could be seen in that wooded area, following a man in an orange prison jumpsuit. Human remains were found in the area but have not been identified yet, the Delaware County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed Saturday. An autopsy was pending. Public records show Capaldi is being held at the Bucks County Correctional Facility. State records did not show any pending charges for Capaldi as of Saturday.

Who is Beth Capaldi?
Beth Capaldi, 55, is a mother and wife who lived in Sellersville. She and her husband have one daughter. She worked from home and was not known to travel outside of the area by herself, officials with the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office said. She mainly stayed in or around the house, unless running an errand with a family member. Her social media presence shows she enjoyed arts and crafts, including knitting and drawing.

The DA’s Office describes her as 5-foot-6 with brown and gray hair and hazel eyes. Photos provided by the office and from her Instagram account showed she often wore thick-rimmed glasses and kept her silver curls down or up in a knot.

Capaldi’s disappearance rocked a quiet neighborhood
In front of the Capaldi brick home on East Church and High Streets in the quiet Sellersville area, neighbors and community members lit candles Friday — it was at least the third vigil since her disappearance. Detectives dressed in white jumpsuits could be seen behind police tape removing items from the property, including a white car.

Since she was first reported missing to authorities in October, members of the community have rallied to locate her. They organized neighborhood search parties. “Missing” fliers with her photo and description could still be seen stapled to nearby light posts. A local pizza shop taped those fliers to their pizza boxes. On social media, nearly 2,000 people gathered in a Facebook group dedicated to posting updates on the search.

When did Beth Capaldi go missing?
According to the District Attorney’s Office, she was first reported missing on Oct. 12 by her daughter, who said she hadn’t heard from her mother, which wasn’t normal. Stephen Capaldi said he last saw his wife at home two days earlier.

While her wallet was missing from her home, most of her personal belongings were left behind.

“She vanished without taking her cell phone, her car keys, her car — which is pretty extraordinary,” Bucks County District Attorney Matt Weintraub said during a news conference in October. “It’s been my experience that people don’t go missing unless they intend to go missing, there was a horrific accident, or there was some terrible foul play.”

Body camera footage in shooting that killed woman, injured officer.  Nashville, Tennessee — Metro Police released body-cam and dash-cam footage of a deadly shootout Friday morning involving a Metro officer and a woman. Just after 9:30 a.m., field training officer Josh Baker from the East Precinct, was patrolling in the area of Brick Church Pike near the intersection of Ewing Drive when he spotted a black 2015 Chevrolet Camaro. Officer Baker was aware that the registered owner of the Camaro, convicted felon Demond Buchanan, had six outstanding drug warrants, charging five felonies and one misdemeanor, that were issued last month for possession of heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, ecstasy, Xanax and crack cocaine. Officer Baker radioed to check on the airborne status of a police helicopter, believing that the driver of the Camaro might try to flee. The camaro stopped in the parking lot of the Dollar General store. Officer Baker found that it was being driven not by the wanted drug felon, but by Nika Nicole Holbert. While, Holbert essentially complied with Officer Baker's directives during the first few minutes of their interaction, her compliance changed after Officer Baker found what appeared to be marijuana and a powdery substance in her bag and attempted to detain her while waiting for backup officers. Officer Baker drew his non-lethal taser in an effort to safely bring Holbert into custody. Officer Baker drew his service pistol when he saw that Holbert had pulled a gun, as he demanded that she put the gun down, Holbert shot Baker. He returned the fire. Officer Baker was shot in the side of his torso, the round went under his bulletproof vest. Holbert tossed her semi-automatic pistol in the parking lot before fleeing in the Camaro. She drove for about a block before running off the road at the intersection of Brick Church Pike. Officers rendered aid for her gunshot wounds until an ambulance arrived. She died later Friday morning at a local hospital. Field Training Officer Josh Baker remains in stable condition at Vanderbilt University Medical Center after being shot during an exchange of gunfire this morning with a woman in a parking lot at Brick Church Pike and Ewing Drive. Officer Baker is a 14-year MNPD veteran and is assigned to the East Precinct. Here is an MNPD video news release that outlines the shooting incident and contains footage from Officer Baker’s body-worn and in-car cameras.  

My Comment "You can't be right and wrong at the same time. Nika was wrong; she should have just followed the orders of the officer as he was just doing his job. He also was not wrong to stop the vehicle, search Nika or arrest her. If she followed the officers' orders, she would've gotten her day in court and be alive today. I cannot support Nika just because she is black and I am black. I can only support people when they are right no matter the color of their skin."  Subscribe for more videos like this Follow our Podcast: https://anchor.fm/the2ndhandnews   Like our Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100086411871279Business Inquiry & Advertisement: the2ndhandnews@gmail.com  Disclaimer: All opinions are 100% my own.  Content Disclaimer: Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education, and research.
