Sharpton seeks help for 2 Brooklyn women - AM New York

The Rev. Al Sharpton Saturday said the black community should be more forthcoming with information on the cases of two black women, one who vanished without a trace and another found strangled.

"There's no way someone on Fulton Street in Brooklyn could just disappear in thin air and then reappear in a garbage bag," Sharpton said, referring to the grisly murder of Chanel Petro-Nixon, 16, of Bedford-Stuyvesant, who was discovered last June in Crown Heights. Sharpton spoke at his weekly rally at his National Action Network headquarters. Petro-Nixon's killers remain at large.
