EAST NEW YORK, Brooklyn (WABC) -- Police shared disturbing new details about the 83-year-old suspect accused of killing and dismembering a 68-year-old woman.
On Friday, authorities released video of a person they say is Harvey Marcelin riding a motorized scooter and sitting on a human leg in a 99 cent store in Queens.
Officials have referred to the 83-year-old as a serial killer and investigators are now looking to determine if there are even more victims out there.
Marcelin, who identifies as a transgender woman, was arrested after Susan Leyden's torso was found in a shopping car in Brooklyn last week.
When police executed a search warrant at Marcelin's East New York apartment, they found a human head and an electric saw.
Marcelin, who had served prison time twice for killing two different girlfriends, was charged with second-degree murder, criminal tampering of evidence and the concealment of a human corpse.
"It takes a serial killer off the street, this is just the latest in heinous offenses conducted in a lifetime by Miss Harvey and we could only hope she could do no more," Chief of Detectives James Essig said.
