Just a week before Patrick "Joe" Driscoll lost his life in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, he delivered twin beds to a Monmouth County home, simply because he knew the family needed help.
The next day he went back and delivered bedding, toys and a truckload of food, said Regina Finn, manager of [...]

A rabid fox that is believed to have attacked a family in Manalapan is a different animal than the supposed mountain lion that's been reported in the area lately, according to an article in the News Transcript.
A fox that bit and clawed its way through a family's backyard fence near Symmes Drive was [...]
The mountain lion--or creature like it--that has been spotted around Manalapan over the last week may be migrating into Freehold territory, according to chatter on Facebook today.
Though the cat was most recently seen off Taylors Mills Road, Millford Brook, and Tennent Road, readers today reported that it crept to Durand Park in [...]
My friend and her husband saw the tracks of this mountain lion near Durand Park several weeks ago! And they are both familiar with many animals tracks because they are both hunters. So, when my friend alerted me to the presence of this mountain lion, I took her word for it! The funny thing is, a day or two before the tracks were spotted, my husband and I were walking our dogs in Durand Park, and they seemed to be on high alert. They seemed to have spotted an unseen animal in the woods but I don’t believe it was a deer; they never seemed to get spooked by deer before, just the opposite. My husband and I didn’t see what they saw but now that we know that this animal has been spotted, we wonder if they could have spotted the mountain lion! People can laugh all they want at the people, who have claimed to see this animal! But if my girlfriend, and her husband, saw the tracks of a mountain lion, you’d better believe that there was one running around near Durand Park. I don’t say this to scare anyone, just to be cautious. I certainly won’t be strolling through any more wooden paths with my dogs again for awhile, especially just before dusk. It’s just better to be safe than sorry.

This morning's attempted burglary in a Manalapan Township home occurred while a teenage student was home sick from school, according to a report from the APP. The student called the police while locked inside the bathroom, and her mother notified a neighbor who helped scare away and then chase the suspect.
Last month, we reported on a case in Manalapan where a man chased a 9-year-old child and has dog down the street. The APP now reports the Manalapan police have released a sketch of the suspect.
In a hidden neighborhood off of Route 33, Eric Nussenbaum guards a secret. He’s never written it down, never even told his wife, and refuses to let reporters persuade him otherwise. Sure, you can taste his famous cheesecake, but he’ll never, ever tell you what’s in it.
