From 2015

Cherry Hill murder to be featured on Investigation Discovery's 'On the Case with Paula Zahn'

"CHERRY HILL TWP. -- In 1991, Dede Rosenthal went missing.

The case quickly went cold and remained a mystery until about four years later, when Charles Reddish, a maintenance man at the apartment complex where Rosenthal lived, admitted to killing her in a taped confession, according to law enforcement officials who handled the case."

State v. Charles E. Reddish, Jr.

law.justia.com

<<On October 6, 1995, more than four years after Dede Rosenthal disappeared, Reddish was arrested for the murder of his girlfriend, Rebecca Wertz. Detectives investigating Rosenthal s disappearance learned of the arrest and interviewed Reddish in the Burlington County Prosecutor s Office on December 11. After waiving his Miranda rights, Reddish provided a lengthy tape-recorded statement admitting that he had killed Rosenthal and disposed of her body in Salem County. Later in the evening, Reddish called a local newspaper reporter and, in a tape-recorded interview, Reddish again admitted to killing Rosenthal.>>

<<Reddish placed Rosenthal s body in the back of Wertz s car, and proceeded south on Route 130 towards Pedricktown. He entered an area he described as a landfill, and left Rosenthal s body in six-foot-tall weeds>>

<<After confessing to the murder four and one-half years later, Reddish brought the police to a dredging disposal area near Pedricktown to locate the body. Sediment from the Delaware River had been repeatedly dumped at the location during the intervening years, creating a rough, overgrown terrain. Police failed to find Rosenthal s remains, and her body was never recovered.>>
