When a human torso is found sitting in a shopping cart in the middle of New York City detectives are immediately aware they have a situation on their hands. They don't know whose headless body it is or who could have possibly put it there. Days later, a few blocks away, a leg from the same body would be found.

The killer would quickly be identified, but who it was- was someone no one expected of such a heinous crime.

Since this is still a breaking case new information is still coming out about this crime.  I will continue to keep you up to date by posting any other information related to this case on the Facebook page.
