Phillies Joellen bead was held to zero points on the night while Raptors interim powerhouse duo Fred vanvleet and Pascal Siakam helped the Raptors advanced to a 12 and four record on the year.

You know, something like this, we deal with all the time for all kinds of crimes. Whether it's people who haven't seen it, people who don't believe it possibly could be the person that they know that looks similar to that. But we are asking everyone to please take a look as we do in all of our public appeals. Please take a look and help us identify this person. We want to get to this person to stop future reoccurrences and also, if it's the criminal system that they need, great. If it's mental health, we need to get them that help too.
