Police in New York arrested a man on suspicion of assisting in the disposal of a escort’s body after she died in a Manhattan apt building before being crammed into a barrel.
According to the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office, Aquellio Parker, 29, is accused of assisting in the relocation of Nicole Flanagan’s, 44, remains to the residential street in Ridgefield Park, where her dead body was discovered on Aug. 13 inside a 55-gallon barrel.
Parker has been charged with assisting in the disturbing, moving, desecrating, damaging, and/or destroying of human remains, as well as conspiring to disturb, move, conceal, and/or desecrate a deceased body, according to the Daily Mail.
According to the sources, Parker transported a large plastic barrel into the building on Aug. 11, and one day later, he was seen loading it into a U-Haul vehicle with an unknown person who parked the vehicle at the rear service entrance.
Parker surrendered to the NYPD on Sunday and is awaiting extradition back to NJ, according to officials.
Flanagan was reportedly with a 25-year-old gangbanger who was a potential suspect in the investigation, according to investigators.
Flanagan showed no signs of injury, and officials are still waiting on the results of toxicology tests.
