A trash collector found a woman’s body stuffed inside a plastic bag in Frankford on Wednesday morning. Not much information was released about the victims. Neighbors want to know the identity of the woman because they say many people are missing from the neighborhood.
Police are investigating the death of a woman who was found wrapped in plastic and stuffed inside a trash bin in Philadelphia's Frankford neighborhood.
Police responded to the 4600 block of Leiper Street around 6:05 a.m. Wednesday after an employee with the Republic Service Trash company found the body, Philadelphia Police Department spokesman Miguel Torres said.
The body, which has been identified only as that of a black female, was both wrapped in plastic and inside a plastic trash bag when the employee found it in a trash bin, Torres said.
"They pulled a body out, but we don't know who it is. We're waiting now. We have a lot of people here in Frankford that are missing and we're concerned," said resident Mary Single.
Police have made no arrests as they continue to investigate.
