Investigators have identified the remains as Kawsheen Gelzer, a 40-year-old registered sex offender who was arrested for sexually abusing a 12-year-old boy in 2004, according to court documents.

Gelzer is a known drug dealer who went missing after visiting Stines and her husband, Nicholas McGee, law enforcement sources said. He may have died during an ongoing narcotics dispute with the couple.

NY Daily News is the best major newspaper in the city, and way more details than OP's article.

Well, this just got less insidious.

[–] DigitalTraveler42@lemmy.world 39 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Burying the lede for clicks seems to be a major fucking problem with journalism these days.

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I mean, not a whole lot. Looks like he was her dealer and the deal went wrong.

[–] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

"best newspaper in the city"? Buddy the fuck you on?

Gothamist, local section of the times, WNYC if you're on the radio... Daily news/NY Post? I used em to line my bird's cages as the shitpaper they are.

[–] pwalshj@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago

What local section of the Times? Maybe 20 years ago.

Dude the dude raped a kid and was a known drug dealer and they just let him prance around like that? This woman did the neighborhood a justice. Wish she wasn't a weirdo that tried to eat him but like damn, they were just gonna let this dude live his best life out here otherwise it seems like

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 30 points 9 months ago (2 children)

This is gonna blow your mind but they do let people out of prison eventually.

[–] GentlemanLoser@ttrpg.network 15 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah but...to prance? It's the prancing I can't abide

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 6 points 9 months ago

Footloose was right. Dancing should be illegal.

[–] BobGnarley@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Convicted pedophile and KNOWN current drug dealer. Let's just sit back and let him run wild after all he went to prison once! Most people who have been to prison would get their door kicked in if they were a known CURRENT drug dealer. Where I'm from, they'll kick your door down for that shit. But nope, not here. Let em loose. Crazy

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Yes, I got it the first time, you think he should have been executed and aren't too on board with the whole "rehabilitation" thing.

Plus you hear "drug dealer" and assume he's selling dirty heroin to teenagers or something and therefore deserves double death, you made this all very clear.

[–] BobGnarley@lemm.ee 0 points 9 months ago

No I think you should monitor the convicted pedophiles and obviously if he was a known current dealer there was a huge problem with that monitoring system. So yeah, let em run loose like that and the neighborhood will probably take care of it

Sweeny Todd vibes

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I dunno man, letting the cannibals eat the pedophiles seems like one of those situations that sort of works itself out. bet the cannibals die young of prion diseases too.

5 years ago shouldn't be that hard to remember champ

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 43 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Should I have not done that? Is that frowned upon?

Maybe the guy gave her a cashmere sweater with a red spot on it...

Cashmere outside how bow da?

[–] bedrooms@kbin.social 22 points 9 months ago (1 children)

This is why my wife wants a larger refrigerator

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Maybe a chest freezer is the answer.

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 19 points 9 months ago (1 children)

But then you need a head and limbs freezer too.

[–] snausagesinablanket@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

And a bowling bag for the head.

[–] arymandias@feddit.de 20 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Let’s hear her out, maybe she has a good reason.

[–] GilgameshCatBeard@lemmy.ca 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You sound like a Fox News correspondent interviewing a Proud Boy.

[–] arymandias@feddit.de 1 points 9 months ago

If I was interviewing a Proud Boy it would sound a lot more like that gorilla joke from 1897.

[–] MataVatnik@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

It sounds like this guy was causing harm to the community he lived in. And having known people like this, sometimes one wishes they could be snuffed out, or at the very least, hurt badly. So I get the sentiment. Her biggest mistake here is not hiding the body properly.

Girl’s gotta have a hobby.

[–] tiredofsametab@kbin.social 5 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Did they arrest all of her parts that they found individually?

[–] cheesymoonshadow@lemmings.world 4 points 9 months ago

Seems like there should be a law that requires at least 51% of one's body to be present, one of which must be the head in its entirety, before they could be considered fit for arrest.

Some before her, some after her.

This like Dexter in real life. Is there a word for a serial killer who is also an ethical vigilante?

[–] TheWoozy@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

"Homicidal Maniac" is a good term for a serial killer who believes they are somehow being ethical.
