The Tuckahoe Family Diner is a cute little diner on a country road, about halfway between Mays Landing and Sea Isle City. It's a 1945 Silk City Diner, a retro classic and reporter Peter Genovese says the pancakes are one of the best meals he ate in 2017. || 📷s by Peter Genovese #newjersey #diner #pancakes

On Dec. 14, 2015, Susan Pfost, 56, was on her way home from work as a school bus aide when her car skidded off the road in Winslow and hit a utility pole. ▫️ She died of multiple injuries. Among other things, the medical examiner and police both noted much of her left hand was amputated, but it was not recovered from the crash site. Her husband, Donald, said police told him it was probably still in the wreckage of her car in a police lot. The medical examiner noted in his report that the hand was missing. ▫️ When friends and family went to the scene days later to set up a roadside memorial, they found Pfost’s severed hand on the ground amid strewn trash and bloody latex gloves left by emergency responders. ▫️ The hand is visible in more than half a dozen photos taken by the medical examiner investigator at the scene in the hours after the crash. Pfost's family says no one has explained how it was left behind. ▫️▫️▫️ New Jersey’s medical examiner system is a national disgrace. Our investigation revealed disturbing stories of victims and their families who were wronged. This is one of them. Read the full investigation at nj.com/death or the link in our bio.
New Jersey’s medical examiner system is a national disgrace. Our investigation revealed disturbing stories of victims and their families who were wronged. This is one of them. Read the full investigation at nj.com/death (link in bio). ▫️ Ellen Andros’ husband, James, an Atlantic City police officer, said he found the 31-year-old woman slumped over the keyboard of the family computer on March 31, 2001. He called 911. ▫️ Investigators didn’t buy it. Court records show there had been marital troubles, and James had been drinking before he came home. And then there was the clincher — the medical examiner who handled her case, Elliot Gross, determined that burst blood vessels around her face were the result of strangulation. ▫️ Ellen Andros' death was a homicide, Gross determined. It wasn’t long before James Andros was arrested and charged with killing her. ▫️ But Gross missed something. High-profile pathologist Michael Baden took a second look at the case and determined nearly two years later that Ellen Andros had actually died from a rare condition called spontaneous coronary artery dissection, records show. Her heart had essentially burst as she browsed the internet, the pathologist found. ▫️ Prosecutors dropped the charges against James Andros, and he eventually returned to the police force after losing years of his life because of a medical examiner's mistake. #deathinnj
