Missing gal blood hint in pal tub
TEN PEOPLE waiting on a taxi at Boston’s Logan Airport on Monday were injured after a cab careened into the crowd, authorities said.
The cab driven by a 56-year-old smashed into the area near the airport’s taxi pool about 1:40 p.m., according to Massachusetts State Police.
One person was in serious condition and the others suffered minor injuries, police said.
It was not immediately clear what caused the crash, though early fears that it may be terrorism-related were quickly dismissed.
Police have suggested it was an error by the driver, who may have pressed the gas pedal instead of his brake.
The driver, Lutant Clenord of Cambridge, Mass., told local station WBTS that he believes there was some kind of mechanical problem with his car.
State Police Major Frank McGinn said there was “no information that suggests the crash was intentional,” adding that the driver was cooperative at the scene. A POLICE dog detected possible traces of blood from a missing New Jersey woman in her boyfriend’s bathtub, sources said Monday.
The 31-year-old woman, identified by sources as Jennifer Londono (photo), vanished June 25 from Union City. Police suspect two body parts that washed up this week on Brooklyn and Manhattan shorelines belong to the woman.
Last Tuesday, a couple walking their dog in the Red Hook Channel off Brooklyn found a woman’s torso, from the waist to her knees. The torso was tattooed with a Sanskrit word.
After the woman’s mother spotted media images of the tattoo, which translates to “Lily” or “Lilyann,” she went to the 76th Precinct stationhouse in Brooklyn to report it, sources said. The tattoo was a tribute to Londono’s aunt.
On Saturday, a woman jogging near the 79th St. Boat Basin on the Upper West Side spotted a partial leg and foot, with pinkpainted toenails.
Neither city cops nor the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office in New Jersey have formally disclosed her name. An autopsy is pending. Sources said that after the mom, accompanied by Londono’s boyfriend, went to the precinct, the NYPD sent K-9s to look for blood traces in places the woman frequented. Londono managed the Luna Lounge in Englewood, N.J.
The dogs searched the bar, her mom’s car, which the boyfriend had been using, and the boyfriend’s apartment, sources said. A dog found blood traces in the apartment’s bathtub, sources said.
