State and local police returned to a property connected to a homicide investigation, just hours after first responders answered a call for a medical emergency at that property, Monday. 

Authorities say Luzerne County 911 responded to a medical call involving a 28-year-old male at the Sugarloaf Township property of Bill Morse, who has been missing since June of 2018. 

That male was rushed to a local trauma center. 

This is the same property that was searched by Federal, State, and local police for three days last week as part of the Bill Morse Homicide investigation.

 Police would not comment on the search or the medical call. But sources close to the investigation said the 28-year-old male involved in the 911 call was Bill Morse’s son. 

Investigators are expected to return to the property this morning.

The PA Auditor General reported that the Pottsville Area School District must do a better job of managing its finances after his latest audit found the district’s general fund balance dipped to a negative $1.2 million.

 According to Skook News, auditors found the school board did not plan for a multi-year budget or factor the costs associated with retirements, healthcare costs, and charter schools. 

The audit stated “If immediate changes are not made, the Pottsville Area School District runs the risk of being placed on financial watch status by the state.” 

The District reportedly agrees with the audit and its recommendations and is working to correct the findings.
