Police have identified the dismembered body discovered in Brooklyn’s Canarsie Park on Monday night. NBC New York reports that it was Brandy Odom, a 26-year-old woman who had been missing for months. Her tattoo, the word “chocolate” above her left breast, helped in the identification process.
Per the New York Daily News, Odom lived right across the street from Canarsie Park. While police are still investigating the manner of her death, they reportedly believe that she was murdered elsewhere and then dumped in the park.
“She would walk a mile for you,” a family friend named Bell told the New York Post. “She wanted to get her own place and start a family. You know, she was working hard, trying to get her life together.”
Police have identified the woman whose torso, leg and other body parts turned up inside a Brooklyn park this week as a 26-year-old from the borough who's been missing for months.
Detectives gave Odom's mother a photo, which she positively identified as Odom. Police said Odom had never been reported missing before her body was discovered: she was "very independent" and sometimes left for days at at time, they said. It's not clear if she had a romantic partner, or how long it had been since her family heard from her this last stretch.
Wouldn't be shocked if someone had tried to report her missing and been blown off by the cops--they historically will do that for minorities or poor people who've had involvement with the criminal justice system. (“She wanted to get her own place and start a family. You know, she was working hard, trying to get her life together.” <-- that's your basic code for recovering drug addict and/or prostitute)
Poor woman. I was going to say it was probably some creep boyfriend, but if she was missing for "months" but the body parts were fresh...that seems to have even worse implications.
It's a good thing Hackensack isn't next to Flushing.
