About Leese
Alot of people have been emailing me privately asking who I am … do they know me … do I live in their neighborhood … etc.
The answer is that I’m just me. I live in just a house that’s just on a street that happens to be in Collingdale.
I’m married to a fastastic guy and together we have 3 kids, 2 dogs, 1 cat and a whole lot of fish that tend to go hungry sometimes. According to my husband, it’s good to keep semi-aggressive fish a little hungry :: um, yea.. ok.. :: but I think he’s just waiting to see a feeding fenzy going on.
But I digress..
I am college educated … have a semi-important job with loads of stress … but still rebelleous enough to wear my “chucks” :: converse all-stars for all you grown-ups out there! :: My family has it’s share of challenges… our ups, our downs, our merry-go-rounds but we love each other and laugh a whole lot so every thing winds up working out.
In fact we’re so goofy and stuff just “seems” to always happen to us that we really do need a reality show! Stick with me and you’ll see what I mean!
I started Collingdale Corner because.. well.. one, I just love to write and two I couldn’t find anything on the net specific to Collingdale so who else better to do it then me?
Alot of people probably!! ;)
Anyway… thanks for stopping by. Thanks for reading and please feel free to comment! No topic is off limits and I’m too open minded to be offended by anything!

Leese,
Updated info from the Heron’s Nest Blog- Phil Heron from the Delco Times- it was listed online today. I don’t have a paper to know if it is in the paper, too.

Faith Sinclair’s family is still waiting for answers.
So are we.
Sinclair is the 16-year-old who was trying to cross Chester Pike in Sharon Hill back on Aug. 3. But as Sinclair tried to navigate the Pike at Laurel Road, she was fatally struck by a dark-colored Mercedes.
Then tragedy turned criminal.
Whoever was behind the wheel of the car decided, in that moment of horror, to flee. They didn’t stop. Didn’t offer assistance.
Police put out a dragnet for the vehicle. They found what they believe is the car that struck and killed Sinclair in a garage – where the windows had recently been tinted black so as to block the view inside – in Upper Darby.
Police say the damage to the Mercedes, with a crumpled front-end and a smashed windshield, displays all the signs they would expect of the vehicle that struck Sinclair. In fact, they are fairly certain this is indeed the car.
They know who owns the car. They have labeled him a “person of interest.” He has declined, through his attorney, to speak with law enforcement.
A $10,000 reward was posted for information in the case.
But police still do not believe who the driver of that car was that fateful Sunday night.
They believe that two people do, the driver, and a passenger they believe got out of the Mercedes shortly after the accident.
A month has gone by, without an arrest in the case. It has left those close to the Sinclair family, as well as law enforcement, frustrated with the lack of progress.
Now another tool is being used. The case is being reviewed by the newly seated county investigative grand jury.
These matters are highly secretive, but it is believed that witnesses have been called before the panel and more could do the same in two weeks.
Good.
Because those who knew and loved Faith Sinclair deserve answers. They deserve an end to the pain. They deserve answers to what happened on that Sunday night as she tried to cross Chester Pike. They deserve to know who could so casually strike their loved one, and then flee the scene.
They deserve justice.

So they keep muddling forward to get justice. The private grand jury is the key to getting shit done.
