The body of a missing 69-year-old Bronx woman was found in Manhattan, several days after her nephew was charged with murder in the case, law enforcement sources say.
It's not clear where in Manhattan the body of Patricia Myers was found. She had been last seen May 4 at her apartment on Grand Concourse near East 169th Street.
Her nephew, Andros Topping, was charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter in her death on May 6.
Topping allegedly told police he had been living with the woman when she disappeared. Authorities also said at the time that he fought with officers who asked him to come to a precinct for questioning.
Multiple blood spatters were found in the apartment, sources said in early May.
On Tuesday, sources added that detectives found video of the suspect leaving their apartment with a duffel bag. A second video captured him toting the bag over the Macombs Dam Bridge.
He had recently contacted another family member and said he had done something wrong, sources said earlier this month. But it's not entirely clear if the comment was in reference to his aunt's disappearance.

Myers had heart disease and COPD, a lung disease, and uses an oxygen tank, according to police. There was a sign on her apartment door warning that an oxygen tank was in use there.
Attorney information for Topping wasn't available.
