When contacted Monday, NYCHA Press Secretary Barbara Brancaccio told WPIX to “reach out to NYPD for more information, as this is a police matter.” She was particular - and peculiar.”Ī WPIX crew visited the NYCHA office in the basement of 106-56 160th Street and asked to speak to a supervisor, but was asked to leave the building. “Not hearing from her was not uncommon,” Best noted. “Four girls.”Īccording to Best, police said McMichael might have “been on vacation” during the period she was missing. “We grew up in foster care in the same home, and we were a family,” Best emphasized. “We wanted her to have a voice through us, knowing ‘I was here, and I had a life on this earth,'” Sharman McElrath said. McMichael’s sister announced her death on Facebook, so that friends who knew the four sisters from Hollis would know that Marilyn McMichael had passed on.
The Medical Examiner’s office confirmed it is conducting tests on McMichael’s skeleton and said it could be four to six months before a cause of death is confirmed. Neighbors told police they hadn’t seen McMichael in more than a year.
