Wouldn't that mean they are on the turnpike. LE in helicopters should be able to spot them. And not to be funny but wouldn't they still be stuck in traffic?
Hope the mother and child are okay.
If they're going to PA, they're going the wrong way.
The alert said they suspect he is going to NY. The announcement said he had family in PA as an FYI for PA to be alert too.

When I think "urban blight" I think of Irvington. Sad, horrid place. Prayers for the woman and child.
Almutah...doesn't that mean morganatic marriage in Arabic? or some such way around doing the right thing?
Are you online? Do you know what Almutah translates to?
Yes online, no to translation. Some form of "muta" has to do with marriage-that-really-isn't, but when it comes to Arabic I don't know my h's from my apostrophes from my glottal stops, so I can't look it up. (OTOH maybe the folks in Irvington don't know either!)
It's all up for grabs, of course -- lots of roads besides the TPKE., even tho that's what out-of-staters identify with re NJ.; I78 and I80 for example.
LOL. I wasn't asking you :)
I pinged StillProud2beFree to the post to ask her.
She speaks and translates Arabic.
I'm glad you are online though. ;)
15 - 20 police cars are in hot persuit of the 2001 Silver Honda on I78 near exit 11.
The silver honday didn't go through the NJ/PA toll plaza.
He exited onto 22, Philipsburg. Pursuit continues.
Calpernia, where are you picking up that news?
Vehicle is now stopped in Philipsburgh.
Silver honda is surrounded.
NJ 101.5 radio.
The stand off is in the middle of a residential development.
Nevermind, I found it on CBS-TV.
