In the mid-1970s, New York City was on high alert after a series of murders gripped the Big Apple in a way that devastated the city’s residents. People could speak of little else and it fostered such a strong sense of paranoia. Anyone resembling the killer’s victim type was changing their physical appearance . Eventually, David Berkowitz, who would later be known as the Son of Sam, was caught but not before six people died.
However, 10 years before Berkowitz’s crimes, another killer was just getting started. While it took authorities a year to catch the Son of Sam, it technically took police nearly 60 years to catch the other murderer. During that time, this person was convicted of murder twice and was released both times. This allowed them to allegedly kill once more before being arrested in March 2022. Where is Marceline Harvey now? She’s awaiting trial for hopefully the last time.
Marceline Harvey is now in police custody.
Harvey, who identifies as transgender and used to go by the name Harvey Marcelin, is scheduled to stand trial on March 1, 2024. The circumstances surrounding her apprehension are bizarre, to say the least. According to WABC , the 83-year-old was arrested in March 2022 after “Susan Leyden’s torso was found in a shopping car in Brooklyn last week.” Authorities released a video of Harvey sitting on top of what they believe was Leyden’s dismembered leg while riding a scooter through a 99 Cent store.
