Two bags containing her head and torso were found by a Parks Department worker about two miles away in Crotona Park.to death, the New York Times reported. The killer was the mother's boyfriend.Prosecutors say the woman Wheeler was living with, Ciara Martinez, helped dispose Velasquez’s body and clean up the apartment where she was killed.
