A 19-year-old homeless woman's body was found wrapped in plastic in an abandoned fish market now covered in graffiti in New York City. In November 2005, the once-bustling Fulton Fish Market relocated to a new facility in the Bronx after its 183-year tenure at the original site near the South Street Seaport in lower Manhattan. The market's historic location was comprised of several buildings, including the city-owned New Market Building - where the body was found. In 2007, the Howard Hughes Corporation wanted to raze the buildings and redevelop the area, including the landmarked Tin Building, which was later renovated, and the adjoining New Market Building. He turned them down, and eventually the New Market Building fell into ruin.
