Police are investigating the death of a woman who was found wrapped in plastic and stuffed inside a trash bin in Philadelphia's Frankford neighborhood.
Police responded to the 4600 block of Leiper Street around 6:05 a.m. Wednesday after an employee with the Republic Service Trash company found the body, Philadelphia Police Department spokesman Miguel Torres said.
The body, which has been identified only as that of a black female, was both wrapped in plastic and inside a plastic trash bag when the employee found it in a trash bin, Torres said.
"They pulled a body out, but we don't know who it is. We're waiting now. We have a lot of people here in Frankford that are missing and we're concerned," said resident Mary Single.
Police have made no arrests as they continue to investigate.
