Court appearances delayed as possible plea deal talks continue in Reyes slaying
GREENWICH — Attorneys are continuing to discuss a possible plea agreement with the suspect charged in the kidnapping and murder of a young woman whose body was recovered in Greenwich in February.
Javier Da Silva, 24, has yet to enter plea in U.S. District Court in White Plains, N.Y., where he is facing a charge that he was responsible for the death of Valerie Reyes, a 24-year-old bookstore worker from New Rochelle, N.Y.

According to the latest court filings, the lead prosecutor has “been engaging in preliminary discussions with the government concerning a possible disposition of this case without trial, and those discussions are ongoing,” the prosecutors’ motion says. A judge approved the latest request for more time to reach a plea deal late last month.
It was the sixth continuance of the case since Da Silva was arrested Feb. 12 in Queens, N.Y.

The latest continuance will run through late Aug. 28.
