A missing woman who planned on moving out of an apartment she shared with her ex-boyfriend was found stuffed in a suitcase in Yonkers Thursday morning, according to sources and her family.
Pamela Alcantara, 26, was last seen in her Fordham Heights building in the Bronx on Sunday before mysteriously disappearing, cops said.
Alcantara last spoke to her mother on FaceTime early Sunday morning and said she was set to head to a church service but never showed up, her family told News 12.
Surveillance footage obtained by the outlet shows her walking into the elevator but never leaving the building.
Her desperate family plastered her photos outside the Morris Avenue and East 182 Street apartment and prayed for her safe return.
Instead, her body was tragically discovered by police inside luggage off the Saw Mill River Parkway near Yonkers Avenue and Palmer Road in Yonkers around 9:50 a.m., according to sources.
Her kin said Alcantara lived on the fifth floor with her former lover and was going to change apartments without him.
Sources said the ex was arrested after a license plate reader caught his car near where her body was discovered.
Charges were pending against him Thursday night.
Alcantara’s family was left grief-stricken following the gruesome discovery.
“We are all devastated because this should have never happened,” a relative told News12.
“She was only 26 years old and had her whole life ahead of her.”
