So they’re investigating/hoping to interview her neighbor and they can’t find them? That sounds ominous. Also the line about the nature of their friendship? What a beautiful lady. RIP

NYPD: Female Person Of Interest Eyed In Upper West Side Woman’s Gruesome Murder

The NYPD says a woman who lives in the building where a 70-year-old woman was found dead with her throat slashed is a person of interest in the case.

As CBS2’s Jenna DeAngelis reported Monday, police are searching for a suspect and motive.

Very New York City-sounding character, the late Ms. Trott.

Shea said authorities have executed a search warrant “at a separate apartment within that building and recovered some items of evidence related to the homicide.

“There is video surveillance — it’s still being reviewed,” Shea added.

It remained unclear whether the person of interest and Trott knew each other, despite them living in the same building, Shea said.

“We are well aware of where they are,” Shea said, referring to the person of interest. “We have not had extensive conversations with the person of interest — but we will at some point.”

UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — The neighbor considered a person of interest in the murder of 70-year-old Susan Trott on the Upper West Side is currently undergoing a psychiatric evaluation and is expected to be questioned by police, according to reports.


The woman — who has not been identified by the NYPD — is not yet in police custody but is considered the prime suspectin Trott's death, police sources told the Daily News. The NYPD is still investigating Trott's murder and may charge the female neighbor soon, sources told the News.


NYPD Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea said this week that the NYPD believes "all the pieces of that puzzle are within that building," regarding Trott's murder. Police are investigating a possible relationship between Trott and the woman considered a person of interest, Shea said.

Around 4 a.m. Sunday, Susan Trott was found suffering a slash wound to the neck inside her apartment on West End Avenue and West 95th Street, police said. Officers responded to the building to check on Trott after a business associate called for a wellness check, police said.


An autopsy conducted Monday revealed that Trott's death was caused by the slash wound, Shea said.

Trott was well-known in her West End Avenue building and had both admirers and critics, the New York Times reported. The 70-year-old's habit of feeding neighborhood birds, sometimes at midnight, led to her being harassed by her neighbors who thought she was attracting rats to the building, the Times reported.

An Upper West Side residents who spoke to Trott often told the Times that the woman revealed she had been recently threatened.

"I told her, 'I can’t imagine people threatening you with bodily harm and threats,'" Upper West Sider Stephanie Lee told the Times.
