Overview

  • Robert Strother, 27, remains at large as the NYPD’s prime suspect in the weekslong torture and fatal stabbing of 21-year-old Princesa Incarnacion-Soto.
  • Nadia Jorge has been charged with murder and manslaughter for allegedly removing and cleaning bloody bedding and clothing at the Fordham Heights apartment.
  • A search warrant execution uncovered bloodstained ropes, bungee cords, linens and clothing that investigators say point to extended captivity.
  • Autopsy findings showed injuries inflicted to cause pain rather than kill immediately, with fresh wounds on her legs and older lacerations on her torso.
  • Strother has 22 prior domestic violence complaints on record and neighbors described the apartment as so filthy that even building staff refused to enter.
