BROOKLYN, N.Y. (TCD) — A 45-year-old woman was taken into custody last week after a man’s dismembered body was discovered in her apartment during a wellness check.
According to NBC New York, on Monday, Jan. 22, someone sent NYPD Crime Stoppers an anonymous tip claiming Kawsheen Gelzer’s body was being stored inside Heather Stines’ fridge. Officers went to Stines’ residence on Nostrand Avenue in Brooklyn’s Flatbush neighborhood and reportedly noticed a refrigerator with tape on it.
One of the officers reportedly asked about its contents, but Stines allegedly began arguing with the cops. NBC New York reports she was ultimately removed from the apartment.
Police opened the refrigerator and found Gelzer’s head and other body parts inside black garbage bags.
The New York Times reports Stines said her husband killed Gelzer in September during a fight over drugs and his body had been in the refrigerator for many months. She allegedly argued she did not see the killing take place.
According to NBC New York, Stines’ husband is currently incarcerated in Virginia.
Gelzer’s cause of death has not been announced yet.
Records show Gelzer is a registered sex offender because he was convicted in 2005 of deviate sexual intercourse with a 12-year-old boy.
