Story out of New York City, New York:
A Staten Island community was on edge Friday evening as police searched for a man who allegedly was seen wheeling the body of his dead wife down the street.
As CBS2’s Steve Langford reported, it happened around 7:10 a.m. at 42 Post Lane in the Mariners Harbor section of Staten Island. Parents were putting their kids on school buses in the neighborhood when someone saw the man pushing a flat, rusty metal cart down the quiet one-way street — with a flat object on top of it.
The body of a woman, 26, lay abandoned right next to the sidewalk. The sight was all too clear to neighbors, some of whom got a glimpse of the makeshift cart on which the victim was left dead, wrapped in a blanket or sheet.
Police were called to the scene when someone noticed the man pushing the dolly down the street — possibly looking to dump it into the water nearby, sources said. When an NYPD detective approached the man – identified as Anthony Lopez, 31 – he fled and left the cart and the corpse on a neighbor’s lawn, sources said.
Police sources said the woman was Lopez’s wife, and claimed that Lopez called his brother and essentially said, “I killed her.” This was the tip that sent police to the scene, sources said. Cont. (Video/Autoplay)
