Sad news for the family of Eridania Rodriguez, who went missing while on the job cleaning an office building in Downtown Manhattan.
Eridania Rodriguez’s remains were discovered at 8:50 a.m. between the 12th and 13th floors of 2 Rector St. after dozens of cops and sniffer dogs spent a second day searching.
The floor where her body was found is under construction.
Police have questioned an elevator operator but there have been no arrests.
Our deepest sympathies to the family.
