Police are looking for the 41-year-old sister of Sharon Lee-Hill after the Queens woman was found brutally stabbed to death in the apartment the two shared. Lee-Hill,58, was found around 2:45 p.m. yesterday with "stab wounds to her hands, arms, legs and chest—and her ears and nose had been sliced off," according to police sources.
It is unclear when exactly Lee-Hill died, but neighbors in the Baisley Park Houses in Jamaica told the Daily news that the police "never responded to a 911 call about a fight heard inside the apartment the night before" the ABC Studios employee's body was discovered. A knife was recovered at the scene.
Neighbors described Lee-Hill as being a "nice lady" who was devoted to her white poodle. Her body was discovered by a concerned third sister, who lives on Long Island.
