[What you need to know to start the day: Get New York Today in your inbox.] It was late on Jan. 28 when Valerie Reyes, 24, called her mother in a panic from her nearby apartment in New Rochelle, N.Y., where she lived alone. “She was going on about how frightened she was in that apartment,” her mother, Norma Sanchez, said on Thursday. On Tuesday, eight days after that 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. The medical examiner’s office said the cause of death had not been determined and could take weeks.
