Ex-caseworker says Manhattan senor shelter fired her after she warned that transgender serial killer Marceline Harvey was dangerous, lawsuit claims.
threatened her at the facility — even after the alleged serial murderer was charged in the grisly slaying of a former resident.
“To the detriment of the public, when Ms. Harvey was placed into society in her own apartment, Ms. Harvey allegedly murdered a former resident no more than a week later, clearly inapposite to the best interests of public safety,” the filing says. Archer felt so threatened that she took alternative routes to go home from work after she said Harvey had tried to follow her on a few occasions, the suit states.
But her pleas fell on death ears, and the shelter then “released Ms. Harvey into society to live by herself, contrary to what Defendants’ program and Plaintiff recommended, violating its own rules,” the suit states, noting “This posed a great public safety risk.” Marceline Harvey, 83, a man who identifies as a woman, was charged with murder in the grisly slaying of pal Susan Leyden, 68.Two months later, Archer alleges she was fired for raising the alarm in the first place, according to her suit. She was suspended without pay on May 24 and one week later, was fired for insubordination, “although they had no documentation, written or otherwise.”
