Human remains found in suitcase outside Long Island apartment building

A shocking discovery was made on Long Island Tuesday when a body was found in a suitcase next to an apartment building in Huntington Station, leaving the community in disbelief.

Suffolk County police responded to a call about “suspicious activity” in a wooded area off Nassau Road, where officers found the grisly scene around noon.

Passersby noted a foul odor and reported the suspicious suitcase in the area.

Local resident Flavio Ribadeneyra expressed disbelief, stating, “You would never think that something like that would happen in your building or around your building!”

The suitcase was discovered deep in the wooded area near the apartment complex, with uncertainty about how long it had been there or when the person inside had died.

Police, including the crime lab and K-9 unit, worked at the scene, cordoning it off with yellow police tape. The body was not removed until nightfall when the medical examiner arrived.
