MINEOLA---A Glen Cove man has been indicted and charged with murdering his neighbor, dismembering her corpse and stashing her remains in garbage cans in his basement and placing her severed head in the trunk of his car.
Evan Marshall, 31, was arrested for the Aug. 17 death of retired school teacher Denice Fox, 57, who lived across the street from Marshall and his mother in an exclusive gated Glen Cove community.
Marshall has been charged with first degree murder, three counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree, second degree burglary and fourth degree criminal mischief in connection with the homicide.
It is alleged that he broke into the woman's home and killed her, then took her remains to his house and dismembered her body. Prosecutors said that police have recovered two large carving knives which are believed to be the murder weapons.
Police said they didn't believe that Marshall and Fox knew each other.
Marshall was also indicted on charges of assault and leaving the scene of an incident involving physical injury without reporting stemming from an unrelated vehicular incident the morning of the murder.
He had been arrested on Aug. 18 by a Glen Cove police officer driving into his gated community in Nassau County's north shore. He was charged with second degree murder after authorities found the mutilated and dismembered body of Fox in garbage cans in Marshall's basement. Later that same day, Nassau County Police detectives found the victim's severed head in a bag in Marshall's car.
The assault and leaving the scene of an incident involving physical injury charges stem from an unrelated incident occurring early on the morning of Aug. 17. A Glen Cove woman was struck by a vehicle traveling westbound on New Woods Road at approximately 8:30 a.m. As a passerby responded to the victim, the car left the scene of the incident without notifying police and without attending to injuries that left the victim. This car, registered to Marshall, was being driven by him when he was apprehended in Glen Cove the following day.
Marshall is due back in court Oct. 23. If convicted on all counts, the defendant faces a maximum possible sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. He is being held without bail. 9-17-06
