Police have identified human remains found stuffed in a suitcase and discarded on Long Island as belonging to Seikeya Jones, a 31-year-old woman. The decaying remains were discovered next to an apartment complex in Huntington Station after locals complained of a foul odor. The Suffolk County Police Department confirmed the news in a press release on Thursday.
The exact cause of Seikeya Jones’ death remains uncertain, with an autopsy conducted by the Suffolk County Medical Examiner’s Office expected to shed light on this mystery. What is clear, however, is that her body had been placed in a suitcase and left near the apartment complex in Huntington Station.
Jones was reported missing on August 16 and was last seen near Fifth Avenue in the same area. The police were alerted to the scene after receiving a call about “suspicious activity” in a wooded area off Nassau Road. It is still unclear how long the suitcase had been there or when exactly Jones had passed away.
The shocking discovery left residents of the New York City suburb stunned, as they watched law enforcement officers descend upon their neighborhood to investigate the grim find. Neighbor Flavio Ribadeneyra expressed his disbelief in a statement to News12 Long Island: “You would never think that something like that would happen in your building or around your building.
As investigators continue to work on this case, more details will emerge, hopefully leading to answers about what happened to Seikeya Jones and how her body ended up in a suitcase discarded on Long Island.
