Accused serial sex offender was hiding in plain sight in NYC, locals say
Carl Phanor, 29, was “a fixture in [the] neighborhood” on Manhattan’s West Side for months, even after cops learnedPhanor went on toon the East Side in October and then rape a tourist jogger back on the West Side earlier this month before being caught, according to police.
Elaine and her husband said cops never interviewed them, nor did they see officers canvassing their neighborhood before Phanor allegedly struck two more times after the March attack.Elaine and her husband David said they frequently saw Phanor throughout the neighborhood during his time on the lam, including on park benches and under scaffolding, where he occasionally went to sleep.
But Elaine and David suggested that the suspect was hanging around their neighborhood enough afterward that he could have been caught.“He was recognizable enough that if police put up fliers or posters in our lobby, I think it would have been pretty easy to identify him,” David said. “I don’t think the police did enough.”
