Police Search Dumpsters, Rooftops For Missing Woman

phpqGuVb7AM.jpg The search for Marion McCleneghan continues, after the 40-year-old Park Slope woman disappeared nearly two weeks ago. She was allegedly last seen at 2 a.m. on February 7th leaving her boyfriend's home, just eight doors down from her own apartment.

McCleneghan, who is separated from her husband, Ben Soto, was at her boyfriend's house for a party. Richard Eric Sosa says she was the last to leave his home that night, and friends say she had been fighting with him. Yesterday it was reported that Sosa had a scratch on his face when he first spoke to investigators, but wasn't being treated as a suspect. He has now gotten himself a lawyer, after police asked him to take a polygraph test.

Today the Post reports that investigators have been digging in dumpsters and scanning rooftops for the woman. Sources now say she has been spotted twice since leaving her boyfriend's—once she was seen outside of her home, and a friend says she was also "spotted at a bodega in Park Slope on Tuesday February 9th, [but] has not had contact with friends or family since Feb. 6th, and her last bank and phone records also occurred on the 6th."

McCleneghan's mother says, "I think something bad happened, and I think it was in that [Sosa's] house. The clothes she was wearing the night of that party weren't in her apartment. She never went home." However, her two laptop computers and a stack of her journals were missing from her home, where her wallet and cell phone were also found.

    Her boyfriend is a dipshit for not walking her home.

    If she was fighting with her boyfriend, I doubt she would have wanted his company.

    You can't walk a corpse home.

    You can if you pull real hard.
