I could have opened my front door and nailed this guy in the head with a rock, that's how close this was to me. It's the next block over from me, but the apartment complex starts on my block and is accessible from both sides. There's generally not a lot of crime in my neighborhood. This was my mail carrier, so I guess my mail might be late for the next few days. Yikes!

Cops: Mailman murdered in Mamaroneck apartment

(09/17/07) MAMARONECK - A popular Larchmont mailman was found murdered in his Mamaroneck apartment Monday, police said.

Police said 36-year-old Steven Spinna was discovered by his girlfriend at his Richbell Road apartment around 1:30 p.m. Spinna was stabbed to death, police said.

"I just don't understand why anyone would want to hurt him," said fellow postal worker and friend Jim Buckley. "I've never known him to be in trouble at any time. Good worker, gets along with everybody."

However, Buckley recalled two out-of-place incidents that occurred during the past few weeks. Buckley said Spinna's car tires were flattened, and then someone broke the windows on the car of Spinna's girlfriend.

"I kind of kidded about it. I said, 'Someone after you and your girlfriend?' Kidding around, but now this," Buckley said.

Spinna, a mail carrier in Larchmont for the past 10 years, had a young daughter who he saw on weekends, Buckley said.
