>>T HE DAY AFTER HALLOWEEN in 1994, Nancy Phillips, then
>>30, was sitting at her desk in the Inquirer's Cherry
>>Hill bureau immersed in covering a tight New Jersey
>>Senate race. Since spring, she'd been traveling from
>>one end of the state to the other. As the office
>>buzzed about the grisly Neulander killing, Phillips
>>was preoccupied with politics. She had covered Cherry
>>Hill from 1986 to 1988, but didn't know the rabbi or
>>his synagogue.
>>After she came back from vacation in December, Matt
>>Golas, then the New Jersey editor, called Phillips
>>into his office. The Neulander case had stalled.
>>"We've got this really intriguing murder case, and no
>>one seems to know what it's all about," Golas said.
>>"Cherry Hill is a community you know well. Why don't
>>you do some digging?"
>>Phillips would spend the next five-and-a-half years,
>>off and on, covering the Neulander saga. During that
>>time, three prosecutors handled the case, the rabbi
>>resigned and her key source got married. A woman with
>>whom Neulander had an affair married the bodyguard
>>police hired when she testified against the rabbi. The
>>Inquirer got a new editor, Golas became regional
>>editor and Julie Busby took over as New Jersey editor.
>>And Phillips' investigation of the mayor of Camden in
>>1997 and 1998 would help put him in jail.
>>But she never lost track of Carol Neulander's murder.
>>Years passed. No one was arrested. "The story played
>>out slowly," Golas says. "It stayed with me year after
>>year. A lot of times you can lose a story. The only
>>reason we didn't lose the story is because of Nancy.
>>There are no heroes here in terms of editors."

sounds like a typical KR move.
