Three roommates have been charged with dumping a woman’s body in a plastic storage bin near an MTA yard in the Bronx, police said Thursday.
It is believed, police said, that the suspects and the woman, Lauri Duffy, 31, were doing drugs together and that the suspects panicked after she died of an overdose. The official cause of death, however, has yet to be determined.
The suspects, Gilree Scott, 67, Dorine Plowden, 62, and Maxine Rodriguez, 59, were all charged Wednesday with concealment of a human corpse. All have previous drug arrests, police said, and lived together in the same apartment in a building on Furman Ave. near E. 236th St. in Wakefield.
