After Michelle Nau died, police said, George Conway panicked, then left her body ablaze in a trash bin.By Barbara BoyerInquirer Staff WriterAfter Michelle “Mikalena” Nau died in his Mayfair apartment during a night of partying, George Conway “freaked out,” according to authorities.
He called friends, wrapped her body in a carpet, drove it to the Jersey Shore, brought it back, and left it on his back deck before he finally took it to a Fishtown trash bin and set it on fire, police said Friday.
Police said numerous witnesses told them that Conway, with bloodied clothes and in a panic, called his friends for help on Feb. 4. One friend drove with him to dump Nau’s body at the Jersey Shore before they changed plans, police said.
Witnesses said Conway then kept Nau wrapped in a carpet on the rear deck of his apartment, in the 4200 block of Princeton Avenue, before he and a friend dumped her in a trash bin on Frankford Avenue near Interstate 95. Police were told Conway went back to the bin afterward and set it on fire on Feb. 16.
The contents of the bin were later incinerated at a trash-to-energy plant in Chester.
The case, however, remains open.
“It’s still an open and active investigation,” Homicide Capt. Michael Costello said Friday.
If Nau, 37, of the Oxford Circle section of the Northeast, is indeed dead and her body was taken to the Chester plant, there is little chance of finding her remains.
