The woman’s body was found dumped in a dumpster on Melrose Street

MELROS, Bronx (WABC) – The Bronx area is on the border after a woman’s body was found dumped in a storage container.

Investigators say the man first noticed the dresser around 11 a.m. Friday on University Avenue in Melrose. When he returned to pick him up three hours later, he noticed a box next to him that had not been there before. Even more surprising was the fact that a human foot was sticking out of the container, along with an unpleasant odor.

Neighbor Stephanie Nunez’s stepfather had just parked his car next to a dresser minutes before the horrific opening.

“He just got out of the car and didn’t notice anything,” Nunez said.

When neighbors learned the woman’s body, anxiety quickly rolled.

“It was a woman found, decomposed. I’m a single woman, a black woman, and I have children. It’s crazy,” said a neighbor named Didi.

Neighbors say people in this repository usually throw garbage on the sidelines – now, after this discovery, they want the landfill to stop.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the New York City Police Crime Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or in Spanish 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
