A cloud of mystery hangs over the killing of Mosley, a mother, grandmother and deeply respected law enforcement leader in southern New Jersey.

Carroccia, the prosecutor, argued for Pimentel to be detained, noting that she may not be safe on the outside.

“Law enforcement has received information from a confidential informant that an individual out of state was contacted to come down and take care of any and all individuals who are involved in connection with this homicide,” the prosecutor said.

Part of me thinks the prosecutor is BSing, but it’s a disturbing detail if true.

Updating to add that I just realized that Bridgeton, the town where Detective Sgt. Monica Mosley lived and was murdered, was also where little Dulce Alavez was abducted in 2019. I can’t say that there’s a connection, but I have to ask: what going on in Brigdeton, NJ?
