NEW YORK — A handyman at a skyscraper near the World Trade Center pleaded not guilty Saturday to charges he murdered a cleaning woman and hid her body in the tower’s ventilation system.
Prosecutors say Joseph Pabon, 25, snatched the woman July 7 as she worked on an empty floor in the 26-story office building.
They say he smothered Eridania Rodriguez, 46, with tape, hid her body in an air conditioning shaft, and then told his manager he was ill and went home.
A Manhattan judge ordered Pabon held without bail at his arraignment Saturday.
