Police say they have arrested the ex-boyfriend of the NY woman whose body was found inside a suitcase that had been discarded on the side of a CT road.
Reyes was reported missing January 30 to the New Rochelle Police Department by her family, according to court documents.
"Together with our partners from the Greenwich and New Rochelle Police Departments, we were able to swiftly identify Javier Da Silva, an alleged murderer, and place him behind bars", FBI Assistant Dir. Then on February 5, a red suitcase in the Town of Greenwich was found by a public works employee who, on unzipping the suitcase, discovered the body of Reyes inside.
The suspect also allegedly fraudulently used Reyes' ATM card, Greenwich Police Capt. Robert Berry said Tuesday.
"We are confident that the pursuit of justice for Valerie will be successful and we continue to work with the family to provide closure to this tragedy, " Berry said in a written statement.
In a press conference on Tuesday Greenwich Police said that de Silva confessed to playing a role in the murder when he was questioned following his arrest.
The Greenwich Police Department announced the arrest of an individual "believed to be involved" in Reyes' death.
De Silva was arrested in NY and the U.S. Attorney's office in Manhattan will reportedly handle the prosecution of the crime.

He said, "Every suitcase body I ever had they were known to each other, with the exception of the Mafia, ' calling it an 'interpersonal type" of killing.
Valerie's mother Norma last week told reporters she could not move past the conversation she had with her daughter the night before she went missing.
