Human Remains Found in Large Container in Ridgefield Park
''RIDGEFIELD PARK, NJ - Local law enforcement is investigating the discovery of human remains found in Ridgefield Park Friday morning, according to Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella.

The Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Unit and the Ridgefield Park Police Department are investigating the discovery of human remains that were found in the area of Hobart Street and Teaneck Road, Ridgefield Park. At 10:38 a.m. on August 13, 2021, the Ridgefield Park Police Department responded to the area on a report of a suspicious large plastic container having been left in the street. Human remains were located in the container, and the circumstances of the death and the origin of the container are being investigated.''
 
Thanks for the link!

''Cops attended the scene at Ridgefield Park - a quiet town of 13,000 people just across the Hudson River - at around 10.30 am on Friday.''


''The barrel was dusted for fingerprints and eventually put into a large black can and driven away just after 2.30pm.

It took two officers to hoist the barrel into the van.

Locals on the corner of Hobart Street and Teaneck Road, where the body was found, say the container may have been dumped overnight.''

''Only six homocides have taken place in Ridgefield Park since 1986, according to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program.

The latest murder was in 2010.

Residents are still reeling from the shock, one bystander told CBS 2.''
 
I have been following this story since it broke a few days ago. I am somewhat surprised that no further information has been released. There must be camera footage that would show someone(s) placing a container in the area.

Plastic barrel found in NJ with nude, dead woman inside came from Wall St. apartment building — NYPD raids top-story home where she was last seen
''A plastic barrel found in suburban New Jersey with a nude, dead woman stuffed inside had been wheeled out of a Wall St. apartment building — and cops on Thursday raided a top-floor home where the woman was last seen, sources told the Daily News.

Neighbors say the 22nd-floor apartment cops swarmed at 95 Wall St. near Water St. in the Financial District often smelled of weed and bad air freshener, and that the men living there were nowhere to be found.''

Surveillance footage shows Flanagan entering the building with a member of the Snow Gang on Thursday. A security guard questioned a man when he entered the building with the barrel but he said he was moving and later carted it out into a U-Haul van''
''The woman was later identified as Nicole Flanagan, 42, when officers ran her fingerprints through their system and connected them to a previous prostitution arrest, according to the New York Post.''

The naked body of a female escort was found in a 55-gallon barrel in a New Jersey on Friday after being carted out of 95 Wall Street in the barrel on Thursday
 
Police early Friday said the body was that of 42-year-old Nicole Flanagan, whose address was listed as Dekalb Avenue in the Bronx.

According to the NYPD, the last time Flanagan was seen before her death was near 95 Wall Street in Lower Manhattan.

The New York Post reported that surveillance video shows the same barrel being carted out of that same building the nigh before Flanagan’s body was found.

Police believe Flanagan was possibly an escort or prostitute.

''A mother of three, Flanagan had lived in Greenwich, CT and in the Fordham section of the Bronx, the family member told Daily Voice.

Surveillance video captured images of a man rolling the barrel with Flanagan’s body in it out of an apartment building in Manhattan’s Financial District on a luggage rack the night before, The New York Post reported Thursday.

The barrel was loaded into a U-Haul van, the Post reported, adding that sources identified the man in the video as a member of a Queens-based gang known as SNOW.''
''Trash haulers ignored the barrel because it wasn't standard and emptied the other containers,
a law enforcement source told Daily Voice.

Temperatures were pushing toward triple digits when the stench eventually brought a police officer who opened the barrel, saw what was inside and closed it, the source said''

''A memorial gathering was scheduled from 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 26, at Leo P. Gallagher & Son Funeral Home in Greenwich, CT.''

'They were OK guys. They would stop and talk. They were loud and would play hip-hop music but they seemed harmless,' one neighbor told the Daily News. 'You never know. One day they seem harmless, but one day you're in a barrel in New Jersey.'''

'''I thought they were dealing drugs, but they were always riding skateboards. I just thought they were on the delivery end.''

''He said that a woman had moved in with the two men in their 20s around a year ago, but that she had moved out.

The neighbor said he often heard them arguing and she would be heard saying: 'Don't hit me again.'

Flanagan's ex-boyfriend, Ray Underwood, who is the father of her son, said that she had ' three beautiful children that adored her, and loved her.' ''


''Who are NYC's SNOW Gang? Queens-based crew linked to escort's death
The SNOW gang has been around New York City since at least 2013 and mainly operates in Queens.

The name is said to stand for 'Showin' N***as Our Worth' or 'Swagger N***as Operate With'. The gang also goes by LOE, or Loyalty Over Everything.''

''The gang was thrust back into the spotlight this week when one of its members was linked to the murder of 42-year-old Nicole Flanagan.''
 
Do we know if she bought drugs from them or if they were her "customers"?
Sexwork is the most dangerous profession on earth.
I see, if the reports are correct, she moved in with those drug cartel dudes a year ago. Maybe she was in a relationship with one? But why would she leave her kids and also share the flat with all the other guys from the cartel? So strange.

Poor gorgeous lady, gone too soon. My heart breaks for her children and family.

Jmo, but I read it as these were 2 different women. A woman lived there and moved out and this poor lady Nicole lives in the Bronx. She had some type of brief run-in with them (implied to be sex work) leading to her death. Again, Jmo.
 

I hate headlines like this. The media needs to stop victim blaming. Whenever a sex worker is killed, that's all some media focuses on. They never headline it with 'mother of three killed' or 'young woman killed by gang member' it's always 'hooker and addict is killed'. As if that's the only thing that identifies her. As if it was her fault she was killed. She's still a person. She's someone's mother, daughter, maybe someone's sister, friend. I think some media are realising the harm they're doing and this is less common than it used to be but headlines like that do so much damage. She is not worth less because of her addiction struggles and how she supported herself.
