A car driven by either a 16 year old boy or 22 year old man hit a bicyclist on Linden Boulevard near 175th Street in St. Albans Thursday night. The car hit 60 year old bicyclist Frank Simpson around 11:45PM, and then crashed into a telephone pole. The problem is that both claim to be passengers.

Then he wrapped her face in tape and dumped her nude, bound body off a Brooklyn road."
