A 45-year-old Brooklyn woman has been arrested after human remains, including a head, were found inside a refrigerator at her apartment earlier this week, the NYPD said Friday.

Heather Stines is charged with concealment of a human corpse in the case, which two senior NYPD police officials is now being treated as a homicide linked to a narcotics dispute. Attorney information for her wasn't clear.

Investigators went to her Nostrand Avenue apartment Monday after Crime Stoppers received an anonymous tip, said Joseph Kenny, the NYPD's chief of detectives. The tipster indicated the possibility of a dead body being stored in the third-floor apartment's refrigerator, sources said.

Stines let officers into the residence when they responded to the Crime Stoppers tip. Once inside, the cops' attention was drawn to a conspicuously taped-up refrigerator, sources said.

When the officers tried to inspect it, she allegedly became combative, leading to her removal from the scene, sources said.

Inside the refrigerator, officers discovered black plastic bags containing what appeared to be parts of a human body, including a head, Kenny said.

The police got a heads up about the frozen scene ahead.

I guess Brooklyn women have Brooklyn fridges. Instead of Frigidaire or suchlike.

There’s an account that won’t be swiping right anymore.

[HYPOCRACY]

She ate the rest.

[Round Earther]

She is nothing to lose your head over.

[Right Brother]

I wonder if George Parker sold her the Brooklyn fridge.

Sick city. Victim previously arrested for “dice throwing”...
Never gonna go to the craps table...could get arrested.

Sorry hippies, Carlos Castaneda, and Dr. Tim Leary, but psychotropic drugs don’t always lead to new insights and revelations

[fidelis]

She seems nice...

[doorgunner69]

Looks like she ate the rest of him.

When Dahmer was caught, my wife was a radio newscaster. One of her peers lead the noon newscast with, “Just ahead, Just a head.”

That would be appropriate today, I guess.

[P.O.E.]

Zuul!

[C210N]

Can’t blame her, really....

just trying to get ahead in life.

[TigersEye]

I really was expecting this to be about E. Jean Carroll.

[dfwgator]

That’s not the way to get ahead in life.

[deport]

The real sad thing is she will live the remainder of her life
in prison locked in a cell with food and water. An we the tax
payers have to provide all of that. The death penalty should
never have been eliminated.

Yep.....a real head case

...now being treated as a homicide linked to a narcotics dispute.

It would have to be a narcotic, Excedrin ain't gonna cut it.
