CAMDEN, N.J. – The Diocese of Camden has opened an investigation of one its priests after FOX 29 Investigates raised questions about his actions.
The probe has been under way for nearly three weeks. How did this story get started?
Investigative Reporter Jeff Cole explains that a parishioner of his former church urged us to take a look at where Father Joel Arciga-Camarillo spends his time away from the church. Here’s what we saw.
It’s just past 2 p.m. on Wednesday, April 13, and we’re keeping an eye on a light-green, four-door Volkswagen tucked behind this multistory, bright-yellow home in Camden.
We sit and watch for about an hour and see a man in a T-shirt and ball cap emerge from the back of a van with a female driver and small children, some in Catholic school uniforms. They go in the home.
We return in the early evening, and there’s the green Volkswagen again, along with the guy in the cap. This time, he’s working on a vehicle in back and moving about the yard.
Why are we looking? Because we’ve seen the VW before, parked in the lot of the Devine Mercy Catholic Church in Vineland, N.J.
