Here's an interesting video... see the 5:00 minute mark.
Now, yes, it would be quite the feat to gash your head, climb into a suitcase, bind your feet, and somehow shut the suitcase and bind your hands.
But we really don't know how shut the suitcase was or how well bound her hands were. I'm just not ruling it out. It does seem unlikely, but this whole thing with her basically predicting her murder without giving a reason is just a giant red flag for me.
UPDATE:
‘Something wasn’t right’: Lawyer shares new details on grisly discovery of body inside suitcase [EXCLUSIVE]
Note*** Although the worker is named in this article, I've used initials instead of the attorney's & worker's name.
"A lawyer for the Greenwich, Connecticut, town worker accused of taking and sharing photos of a murder victim found this week has revealed more about the discovery of the body in a suitcase along Glenville Road in the upscale community about an hour from New York City.
L U is representing the highway worker who has been placed on administrative leave after he allegedly took photos of the victim, since identified as 24-year-old Valerie Reyes, and shared them. The
Greenwich Time identified the worker as J C, a Department of Public Works foreman.
In a phone interview,
U confirmed recent reports that C was not the first to discover the suitcase on Tuesday morning. The lawyer said that two of C’s subordinates, who were cleaning up trash along the road, first noticed the suitcase.
“They realized something wasn’t right about it,” U said, indicating that
the suitcase was unusually heavy. U also said that the
workers may have seen something suspicious through a zipper opening on the suitcase, and speculated that the suitcase may not have been completely closed.
“They suspected it might be a body,” U said. The workers then reportedly contacted C to alert him.
U said it was his client who opened the suitcase and made the grisly discovery. C reportedly took only one photo of the victim, and sent it via text to his supervisors. U insisted that C did not share the photo on social media or distribute it widely. C contacted police shortly after the discovery, U said.
The lawyer provided more details about the location of the suitcase when it was discovered. U said that it was set back from the road a bit, and not far from a six-foot stone wall.
“Had the person or persons managed to throw it over the wall, it may have never been found,” U said, explaining that the woods beyond the wall are private property that does not see a lot of foot traffic.
Law enforcement officials have not yet released the victim’s cause of death, and said that a confirmation could take several weeks. No suspects or persons of interest have been identified.
U said that he feels confident his client will not face criminal charges, and that he will likely not be terminated from his job. C is currently on paid administrative leave, his lawyer said.
