A 24-year-old woman whose body was found stuffed into a suitcase in Greenwich, Connecticut, died of"homicidal asphyxia," or lack of oxygen, Linda Sylvia, spokeswoman for the Office of State Medical Examiner, told ABC News.Valerie Reyes' body was found on the side of the road on Feb. 5 with"obvious signs of head trauma," according to a criminal complaint charging her boyfriend, 24-year-old Javier Da Silva, with her death. She was last seen on Jan.
Da Silva told investigators that he and Reyes had sex at her home in New Rochelle, New York, on Jan. 29 and that she"fell to the floor and head her head," at some point, according to the complaint. Investigators narrowed in on Da Silva after he used her ATM card multiple times after she was killed, Berry said at the time.
Da Silva is being held without bail in federal custody. He was not required to enter a plea when he appeared in a federal magistrate court in White Plains in February.
