Anne Norris, 28, had justbeen discharged from theWaterfordHospital when she moved into the Brazil Street building onMay 6th, according to thesuperintendantthere, Jack Huffman.

CBC has learned that Norris was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

Reardon's body was discovered May 9 by another tenant.

Huffman told CBCthat Reardon, 46, was about 200 pounds and he doubts the body could be moved by one person.

"He had a blow, and then ended up completely under the stairs face down, and really tight against the bottom rise. Unless it's adrenaline, I can't see a girl, herself, that size, could move that body."

Loud argument

Huffmanalso said that a tenant told him there had been aloud argument in Norris's apartment the night before Reardon was killed.

He said the tenant told him he heard a woman saying 'I don't love you anymore. I don't love you anymore.'

Norris was living in Room 307 at the time, which is above the crime scene. When the police began their investigation into Reardon's death, Huffman saidshe was moved to Room 302, and the original apartment was made off limits to all but police.

Huffman said that afterReardon'sbody was found, Norris didn't seem concerned.

'Absolutely shocked'

The tenant who found Reardon's body said healso spent quite a bit of time with Norris.

The man, who asked CBC not to use his name, said he met her on Thursday, May 12.

He said Norris had no belongings, so he gave her bedding, tissues and shampoo when she was moved to Apartment 302.

He describedher as being a "waif of a girl, intelligent, vulnerable, and wise beyond her years."

He said that that Thursday night they watched a movie in his apartment, and the next day he gave her sweatpants, sneakers and a shirt.

Norris talked about getting an email money transfer from her parents, he said.

"She seemed calm."

As for his own reaction to the charges,"Absolutely shocked. Not for one second did I consider that she had been involved."

Others involved?

The man said Norristold him she had been questioned by the police, and thought the police believed she was holding something back.

He said he also believedthat if she was involved, there had to be an accomplice.

"She doesn't weigha hundred pounds soaking wet. He (Reardon) was a larger man."

The police have said there is no longer anything for the public to be concerned about when it comes to safety.

The tenant who found the body doesn't believe that.

"There's still a murderer or an accomplice out there," he said.
