HARLEM KILLER CAUGHT ON TAPE PULLING AROUND A SUITCASE WITH A DEAD BODY!

Cops are hunting a man who was captured on surveillance video in Harlem on Wednesday - pulling a suitcase with a dead woman stuffed inside.
A passerby opened the suitcase minutes later on E. 114th St. and a leg popped out. He took off running into a nearby restaurant.

"I was just walking by and came across it," Jody White told the Daily News, recounting the grisly discovery around 12:15a.m. "I unzipped it a little bit. I saw that it was a body. I saw a leg from the knee down."

White ran into Rao's, a famed Italian restaurant down the block, and someone there called 911.

"I wish I never found it," White said.

Sources identified the victim as Betty Williams, 28, a Harlem woman with a history of drug arrests. She had her clothes on.

Autopsy results show she was strangled.

Detectives were examining surveillance footage of a man pulling the suitcase down the sidewalk. He stops and takes a breather, then keeps walking before abandoning the suitcase.

Joseph Rivera, 28, the super at the building where the camera was mounted, said the man, who wears a black jacket and winter hat, looks around for a few moments and then vanishes from the camera's view.

"It gave me goose bumps," Rivera said, wondering if the man was the killer.

White found the suitcase minutes after the man was last seen on video. A second passerby, a woman, saw it after that. She also called 911, police said.

Gladys Danowsky lives nearby and her daughter works at Rao's.

"I didn't want to look," she said, describing the startling find. "It's so sad."

Williams did brief stints on Rikers Island for 12 different arrests dating to 2007, law enforcement sources said. Five of the busts were for trespassing and three were for selling drugs. Records show three of the remaining collars were for drug possession and one was for theft.

Police maintained an active crime scene until early Wednesday afternoon. When the cops cleared, children could be seen playing across the street at Thomas Jefferson Park.

Janet Sinicola, 45, who lives on the block, said she felt for Williams' family.

"What are they going to feel when they find out she was slain and left like that?" she asked.
