UPDATE: The body of a Connecticut woman found stuffed into a barrel on a Ridgefield Park street corner was reportedly carted out of a building on Wall Street the night before.
The victim, whose naked body was found in a 55-gallon drum last Friday morning, was identified as Nicole Flanagan, 42, by a family member who spoke on condition of anonymity.
A mother of three, Flanagan had lived in Greenwich, CT and in the Fordham section of the Bronx, the family member told Daily Voice.
Surveillance video captured images of a man rolling the barrel with Flanagan’s body in it out of an apartment building in Manhattan’s Financial District on a luggage rack the night before, The New York Post reported Thursday.
The barrel was loaded into a U-Haul van, the Post reported, adding that sources identified the man in the video as a member of a Queens-based gang known as SNOW.
The container eventually was left with the trash on Hobart Street near the corner of Teaneck Road.
Trash haulers ignored the barrel because it wasn’t standard and emptied the other containers, a law enforcement source told Daily Voice.
Temperatures were pushing toward triple digits when the stench eventually brought a police officer who opened the barrel, saw what was inside and closed it, the source said. The area was cordoned off and the barrel was brought to the Bergen County Medical Examiner’s Office, he said. READ MORE….
