Mystery swirls in case of NYC woman found dead in Yonkers suitcase, sources say

Authorities are expanding their investigative footprint Friday as they look to solve the murder of a missing Bronx woman who turned up dead in a suitcase off a highway in Yonkers, according to multiple law enforcement sources.

Remains believed to be those of Pamela Alcantara were found in the case, which was in a creek near the Saw Mill River Parkway in Yonkers, on Thursday. Alcantara, 26, had last been seen around 2 a.m. Sunday at her home on Morris Avenue.

Her mother told Telemundo 47 her daughter was found dead in Yonkers, possibly stuffed in a red suitcase.

Alcantara’s mother says she last spoke to her daughter Sunday as she was coming home from a church event and getting ready to head out to another church event in Connecticut. The mother says she never made it there.

The NYPD and Yonkers police have not yet released any information. It was not immediately clear whether police have identified any suspects or persons of interest.

Alcantara’s mother says her daughter lived with her ex and had planned to move out.
