“I hear voices. I push people in front of trains,” she told cops then, police sources said.
But witnesses told cops in that instance that Liverpool entered the station as the woman jumped. The German woman’s death was classified a suicide.
Liverpool was taken for a psychiatric evaluation, and investigators believe her proximity to that incident may have planted the idea in her mind, the sources said.

He said the Queens woman had worked as a home health care aide until about three weeks ago.

“I was just as shocked as anyone else,” said Robert Simmons, 42.
“Melanie was a nice person. We had no problems with her, that’s why I was kind of shocked. It’s like whoa.”

Her upstairs neighbor described Watton as mild-mannered.
“Knowing her, I doubt that she started anything. I would honestly say she was minding her own business. She wasn’t the type that would be looking for a fight. She wasn’t that type,”
She said she spoke to Watton’s husband, and “it looked like he didn’t believe it. I don’t think he slept last night.”
“It’s scary.”
