Dismembered Body Found In BK Was A Homicide: Police, Reports

BROOKLYN, NY — A dismembered body found in a Brooklyn apartment Monday was a homicide, police said Friday — and authorities suspect a resident of the same apartment building was responsible.

Heather Stines, 45, of Brooklyn, faces a concealment of a human corpse charge related to the discovery of a dismembered body inside an apartment's refrigerator and freezer on Nostrand Avenue between Farragut and Glenwood roads, according to police and PIX11.

The woman lives in the same apartment where the body was found as police were conducting a wellness check, according to the NYPD.

A person by the same name and age as Stines also faces a slew of other unrelated charges in Brooklyn, including bail jumping and petit larceny, court records show.
