Nisaa Walcott – 35 Year Old Missing N.Y. Mom Found ‘Discarded Like Trash’ in Plastic Bin, Cousin Arrested: ‘She Was a Beautiful Spirit’

Family and friends mourn the loss of a young single mother with a memorial outside of her East Harlem home Sunday afternoon. Thirty-five-year-old Nisaa Walcott’s body was found in a plastic storage container in the Bronx on Friday. Walcott’s brother, Eugene Butler said he last spoke with his sister on February 14. But then Butler started receiving strange texts from her phone. He was convinced it wasn’t Walcott sending them. On February 16 another odd text was sent to Walcott’s son telling the teenager that she was going away for business and that she was leaving Khalid Barrow in charge. But Johnson said Walcott would have never left her son.

Police have since arrested Barrow as a suspect in her murder, after a video from February 18 allegedly shows Barrow dragging a plastic bin to the roof of the building. Seven days later Barrow returns with help from a second man and they carry the container out of the building. Later cameras show a man dumping the bin in the Bronx. Khalid was arraigned Sunday morning on charges including second-degree murder and three counts of concealment of a human corpse.
