A New York City caseworker filed a lawsuit claiming she was fired in retaliation for warning a senior shelter about a transgender serial killer.
An 83-year-old man who identifies as a woman, who murdered and dismembered two women, served 50 years in prison, and was recently released into a Manhattan senior shelter.
This guy, who dresses as a woman and self-identifies as a transgender lesbian, uses the name Marceline Harvey (pictured), was eventually allowed to leave the shelter. Now he’s charged with murdering and dismembering another woman.
A caseworker named Monica Archer, who’d been employed at the shelter since 2019, says that she repeatedly tried to warn the shelter about how dangerous this guy was. First, according to her lawsuit, she was demoted to janitorial. Then, after Harvey was released arrested for this alleged murder, Archer was suspended without pay before being fired for insubordination:
The octogenarian ex-con — a transgender woman on lifetime parole after spending 50 years in prison for killing and dismembering two other women — “made constant threats to kill” Archer and other staff members and allegedly kept a gun at the shelter, according to the lawsuit.
Still, bosses continued to allow Harvey to reside there “knowing that she had been accused of and convicted of several murders, allegedly possessed a gun, and regularly threatened to kill staff members.”
Archer felt so threatened that she took alternative routes to go home from work after she said Harvey had tried to follow her on a few occasions, the suit states.
