This Is Some Coincidence

The TV show ' "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" recently filmed a scene inside a Passaic Valley Water Commission plant last year that included a body floating in a tank of water, commission officials said Friday. The show was filmed in the same water treatment plant where chemist Geetha Angara was found murdered February 9th.

"This is certainly an unfortunate coincidence," commission spokesman Ernie Landante said. [Ed. Boy is that an understatement.] "My guys [detectives] looked at the video and said it [the plot] had nothing to do with this case," Passaic County Prosecutor James F. Avigliano said.

Avigliano would neither confirm nor deny a published report that investigators had identified three plant employees who "could have had the opportunity to commit the crime." "The people in my office deny telling anyone that there were three suspects, and I certainly didn't say it," Avigliano said. "If somebody gave out that information, they would certainly be subject to disciplinary proceedings." Totowa Police Chief Robert Coyle said he knew nothing about such a suspect list.
