Mother of woman, 24, whose body was found in a suitcase says her daughter was afraid someone was going to murder her

The 24-year-old Barnes and Nobles' clerk's body was found inside a suitcase, almost eight days after she went missing. She was reportedly bound at the wrists and ankles.
UPDATED FEB 9, 2019

Barnes and Noble's 24-year-old employee, Valerie Reyes, had a rather worrying conversation with her mother just the night before she went missing. She did not show up for work the next day, and almost eight days after the phone call, her body was found in a suitcase on the side of a quiet, residential road in Greenwich, Conn., about 14 miles from her apartment, reports The New York Times. She was reportedly bound at the wrists and ankles. It seems that Reyes' fate led her to what she feared the most. 

During the conversation with her mother, the 24-year-old had mentioned that although she was not under the threat of any attacks or harassment, the consistent reports of the torture and murder of people had left her distressed. Her mother, Norma Sanchez, explained, "She was going on about how frightened she was in that apartment. She was hearing about all these murders of women. ‘I just can’t get it out of my head.’" Reyes had apparently told her mother, "I feel like somebody’s going to murder me. I'm scared. I'm paranoid. I'm getting anxiety attacks."
