Harvey Marcelin, 83 who reportedly identified as male in earlier court documents but now identifies as a woman, was indicted on second-degree murder charges Thursday for killing 68-year-old Susan Leyden. Marcelin allegedly dismembered Leyden’s body and hid the parts.
Police discovered Leyden’s remains in a multicolored bag in a shopping cart on March 3, and later uncovered surveillance footage of Leyden carrying that same bag inside Marcelin’s apartment building on Feb. 27. Her head was later found inside Marcelin’s home.
Marcelin served a term for the murder of a girlfriend in 1963, and was released in 1984 but also pled guilty in 1986 to the murder of another woman. Marcelin admitted to having “problems” with women during a 1997 appearance before the state parole board.
