The discovery of additional body parts inside the Rogers Place apartment complex in the South Bronx shocked investigators.

Video footage obtained by the Daily News captured two individuals pushing shopping carts through the Rogers Place neighborhood shortly before the body was discovered in Yonkers. The suspects were seen rolling bodies from the Mount Vernon West Metro-North station, ultimately leading police to the Bronx apartment where more remains were found. The painstaking process of tracking the suspects’ movements through surveillance video allowed authorities to piece together the disturbing chain of events.
