Man Charged in Case of Woman Found in Refrigerator in Cape May County

Christopher Blevins, a Gloucester City man, has been charged with desecrating human remains after his girlfriend’s body was found inside a refrigerator abandoned in Belleplain State Forest. Blevins fled to Mexico but later surrendered, admitting to involvement in a violent incident in Camden County. While no charges have been filed concerning the victim’s death, Blevins is accused of hindering apprehension. Authorities are also investigating a second man who discovered the body but withheld evidence. The FBI and U.S. Marshals are assisting in the case, though Blevins’ current custody status remains unclear.

Goodnight Irene’s Out, The Rook In: Philly-Style Eatery Coming to Wildwood

 Goodnight Irene’s Brew Pub, a cherished Wildwood destination for 17 years, closed its doors for good in late 2024. The space will soon be reborn as The Rook Wildwood, operated by the team behind The Rook in Manayunk. Promising to bring a “Philly-inspired menu with a seafood shore twist” alongside signature cocktails and a lively atmosphere, The Rook Wildwood aims to blend the familiar flavors of Philadelphia with the coastal charm of South Jersey.. The grand opening is scheduled for spring 2025, ahead of the bustling summer tourist season.

The attack was carried out by an ISIS sympathizer, Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar, who was killed by police. Local efforts to support Coste and his family are being coordinated by Ocean City’s VFW Post 6650.
