Authorities in New York are investigating human remains found inside a freezer in a Brooklyn apartment Monday.
Police said multiple human remains including a severed head were found in the residence during a welfare check at an apartment belonging to a couple of drug users.
Heather Stines, 45, was arrested after officers made the gruesome discovery. Her husband was last known to be in jail in Virginia, according to family.
“The worst I know of is she lost her children because somebody reported them sleeping on the floor because she didn’t have any beds,” Stines’ aunt said.
“She said she threw the beds away because of bed bugs. They slept on palettes.”
The deceased man’s identity has not been determined.
