love is a wonderful feeling when you start dating someone you often mentally gauge whether you could spend your entire life with them if the answer is no it's best not to prolong the relationship as you never know what's going on in the other person's mind Valerie Reyes met a young man and then entered into a relationship that cost her her life the most unusual aspect of this entire case is that the girl predicted her own demise Valerie Reyes was bornn on April 1st 1994 in New Rochelle New York to Sal and Norma she had an
older brother and two younger siblings as the only daughter Valerie shared a close bond with her mother who nurtured her passionate love for all things related to art her creative personality Shone through in everything she did Valerie was a gentle compassionate and selfless girl who truly worked hard for what she wanted to achieve in life from childhood she was very homely loved to read extensively and preferred spending her free time not at parties but with close friends and family after graduating from high school in 2012 Valerie enrolled at New Rochelle College where she made many
new friends acquaintances described her as a happy loving and genuinely kind person the Reyes family was very tight-knit with one day a week Sunday considered their family day Valerie always eagerly anticipated the weekends they would all gather together and have fun playing board games going for walks in the park or visiting a family-friendly Cafe Valerie continued to goof around and have fun with her younger brothers even though she herself had long since outgrown childhood around them she transformed into a laughing carefree and mischievous girl the rest of the time she worked at a bookstore located
in a shopping mall in East Chester she enjoyed this job because of the opportunity to read and recommend books to customers she could share a great deal about literature of various genres and styles even when visiting a cafe Valerie was always reading she loved singing in her apartment taking long walks going on hiking trips but her true passion was Art and creative self-expression Valerie Drew portraits of her friends and classmates and aspired to become a tattoo artist like her older brother adorning clients bodies with her own Unique Designs her dream was to open her own
tattoo parlor and she tirelessly worked towards achieving this distant goal previously Valerie simply allowed her brother to practice tattooing on her but then she unexpectedly fell in love with this art form herself she had the soul of an artist overall Valerie was a positive person although she periodically struggled with bouts of anxiety and depression creativity and self-expression helped her overcome these states around January 2018 Valerie met a man named Javier on a website the young couple dated for only about 3 months before breaking up in April 2018 Javier was more interested in the relationship than
Valerie herself which she told her friends the girl saw no future in this short-term romance tension grew between them and the student chose not to torment herself or the guy suggesting they part ways the enamored Javier was unwilling to accept reality and continued to call and write to her devising various reasons to do so in September 2018 a few months after the breakup he messaged Valerie saying he wanted to reimburse some money allegedly taken from her card apparently Javier had somehow accidentally used her debit card information for an online purchase and now wanted to refund
the amount he had spent how this happened is unknown whether Valerie gave him this card herself or the data remained on the computer from when they were dating friends over 90% of viewers watch videos without subscribing to the channel check if you're subscribed if not please be so kind as to subscribe to the channel to support me the girl was already tired of Javier constantly seeking reasons to communicate so she planned to ask her friend to deal with the money issue to avoid giving her ex-boyfriend any unnecessary opportunities after this incident the guy seemed to
finally understand that everything was over between them and calmed down for a while for several months there was no word from him by that time Valerie had turned 24 she lived alone in a rented basement apartment in New Rochelle given her previous psychological States living in solitude did not boost her self-confidence panic attacks and anxiety began to return more frequently the girl had been living alone for quite some time but in recent weeks she had started to worry more and feel paranoid due to the absence of loved ones nearby the day before on Sunday Valerie
spent the entire day with her family everything was going wonderfully and there were no reasons for concern at least that's how it seemed from the outside but on Monday January 28th 2019 Valerie called her mother in a panic claiming that she felt like she was going to die soon that her life would be taken it's impossible to imagine what Norma felt when she heard such words from her daughter Valerie sounded so frightened as if there were some real Omens of what she was talking about such a sudden change in her mood and thoughts was not
accidental Norma knew that just 5 days ago her daughter had broken up with yet another boyfriend and was clearly upset by everything happening in her life the woman did her best to calm her daughter inviting her to come to the family home if she felt so lonely however Valerie without properly explaining anything hastened to end the conversation Norma decided that the best thing to do at the moment was simply to let her daughter rest in any case they planned to meet the next day and go shopping together so she wished Valerie all the best said
a few encouraging words and amid the daily hustle and bustle put the conversation out of her mind later that same evening Valerie sent her mother a message wishing her a good night and reassuring her that she was feeling better in addition to Norma she was texting with her best friend Jeffrey Anderson they had been friends for almost 10 years and Valerie also told him about her worries after talking it out the girl indeed felt a certain boost in energy and mood and since she needed to get up for work in the morning she went to
bed on Tuesday January 29th Norma planned to meet with her daughter in the afternoon but she did not respond to calls or messages the woman did not endlessly call assuming that as soon as Valerie came to her senses she would dial her mother's number self and explain everything the woman was not too worried thinking that her daughter must have fallen asleep because she had been nervous the day before and now simply turned off her phone so as not to be disturbed Norma did not know that her daughter had not shown up for work that day
no call came from her on Tuesday or Wednesday the girl did not respond to friends or relatives and missed another shift at the bookstore skipping work days without any explanation was not at all in Valerie's character so the department management also thoroughly tried to reach the girl that's when Norma remembered how on Monday night her daughter was experiencing some strange anxiety about her own life the mother began to suspect that something odd was happening all calls were now being forwarded directly to voicemail and when the woman found out that her daughter had not shown up
at the bookstore for 2 days she became genuinely frightened after the parents reported Valerie's disappearance to the New Rochelle Police Department photographs of the girl and description of her distinguishing features were distributed throughout the area such Hasty actions were the result of several recent attacks on women in the vicinity where Valerie lived which ended quite dismally the first thing the police did was visit Valerie's apartment where they found no signs of a struggle or Breakin but everywhere there were noticeable random tiny specks of Blood on the pillowcases in the toilet and on the bathroom floor
this did not arouse any suspicions as the smallest splatters could have remained after cutting a small frame while brushing teeth or perhaps the girl had started bleeding the detectives were alerted by something else Valerie's phone iPad wallet some of her clothes and a small pillow were missing from the apartment the first thing that came to the investigators Minds was that the girl had run away perhaps she had gotten involved in something criminal or was hiding from someone that's how the police reasoned but the parents categorically disagreed with this assumption they were 100% sure that Valerie
would have notified them of her departure in any case she would never have just left making them worry about her Norma told the police about her daughter's anxious thoughts before her disappearance the girl believed that someone wanted her dead now the woman was berating herself for not properly questioning Valerie about the origin of such thoughts in her head she thought it might be somehow related to her daughter's personal life and the recent breakup therefore Valerie's ex-boyfriend whom she had broken up with a few days earlier was the first to come under suspicion however the guy
was soon excluded from the list because he actively participated in the search for his girlfriend and had an alibi over the next few days the police along with the Reyes family and friends of the missing girl turned to social media users for help and the response was immediate one of Valerie's friends reported seeing her near the New Rochelle train station a couple of days ago the student was wearing a dark green coat black jeans and black shoes another message claimed that Valerie was spotted in Manhattan others said they had encountered a similarl looking girl in
one of the city's bars the police checked each lead and found that none of these statements were true to understand where the young girl could have actually gone the the police decided to track the activity on her bank account soon they discovered that money had been withdrawn from Valerie's debit card at several ATMs in new rochell totaling over $10,000 the police requested surveillance camera footage from the bank at the ATMs but it would take time to verify the girl's movement pattern that morning in one of the recordings detectives found a girl matching Valerie's description she
was caught on a surveillance camera near the bank early in the morning of January AR 30th the footage was shown to her mother Norma who confirmed that the stranger did indeed resemble her daughter in some way and a seed of Hope sprouted in the mother's heart photos of the girl were posted in the media with a request to report any known details about her whereabouts it was also mentioned that Valerie had recently been suffering from anxiety and depression despite numerous public appeals no new information on the case was received the police had absolutely no leads
in the Valerie Reyes case for a week and on February 5th 2019 she was found a group of workers in Greenwich Connecticut around 8:00 a.m. were performing routine road work in a wooded area about 10 mi from Valerie's home one of them noticed a red orange suitcase several meters from the main road this suitcase looked suspicious it was lying in a forested area and did not resemble an old worn out item that had been discarded as unnecessary moreover it was clearly not empty one of the workers curiosity got the better of reason he approached the
suitcase with the intention of opening it and looking inside when the man unzipped it he was immediately turned inside out by the terrible smell seeping out the other workers immediately dialed the police station when the investigative team arrived at the scene they opened the suitcase and found the body of a young woman Inside she was dressed in a shirt and jeans the shirt was unbuttoned the victim's shoes were missing the girl's knees and ankles were bound her wrists were also tied with tape and the victim's mouth and Chin were wrapped in several layers of duct
tape multiple injuries to the face and head indicated that before placing the body in the suitcase the victim had been severely beaten the nose and cheekbones were broken and the skull was fractured one side of the face was a solid bruise the body hidden in the suit case had already begun to decompose this meant that the girl found had been dead for at least several days the body was sent to the forensic laboratory and the next day it was established that the cause of death was strangulation to confirm the identity of the deceased Valerie's father
and older brother were invited to the morg the male half of the family decided to Shield Norma from the horrific sight they were about to see the men had no doubts that it was Valerie lying L before them even though the girl was difficult to recognize due to her injuries but this was not the full horror that the Reyes family had to endure it was later discovered that one of the road workers had photographed the body of the beaten and strangled Valerie when investigators opened the suitcase he began showing the photo to all his acquaintances
recounting the terrible find he and his crew had discovered in the wooded area near the main road this person clearly did not think that the picture would sooner or later reach those who knew the victim the worst that could be expected happened the image of Valerie Reyes nearly made it to the media because this worker called the editorial office of a news magazine and offered to publish the crime scene photo the Department of Public Works where this man worked upon learning of the situation sent him on administrative leave while they investigated the incident in the
end they had to make a public apology for the Thoughtless and insensitive behavior of their employ employee although at that point it was the last thing Valerie's family needed after Valerie was declared missing the police tracked her banking activity it was discovered that the first cash withdrawal occurred on January 29th around 5 a.m. just a few hours after Valerie's conversation with her mother detectives managed to find footage from a surveillance camera at one of the ATMs showing a man dressed in black pants and a black hooded sweatshirt completely covered covering his face withdrawing the money
the ATM surveillance camera also captured his vehicle using the license plate number they were able to track down the owner of the car it turned out that the Honda vehicle had been rented for only 2 days January 28th and 29 and it was rented by none other than Valerie's ex-boyfriend Javier whom she had dated for only 3 months and had broken up with last year over the next few days after the girl disappearance he made several more cash withdrawals from Valerie's bank card so who exactly is Javier Javier enrio Dilo roas was born on January
3rd 1995 he was originally from Venezuela and held dual citizenship with Portugal in 2017 he moved to the United States using a special document that allowed residents from a very small list of countries to stay in the US for 90 days without an official Visa at that time Venezuela was in a state of Economic and financial crisis the crisis led to hyperinflation and a shortage of vital Goods in the country such as food and medicine and also contributed to Rising unemployment nearly 8 million Venezuelan refugees flocked to neighboring countries where the government granted them temporary
residence Javier was one of the refugees who decided to radically change his life when the 90 days of of Visa free residence in the US expired he did not want to return to his homeland so he remained in the country illegally Javier lived in Flushing New York and frequently changed his fields of activity first he worked for a cleaning company then as a barista and then as a cook and waiter in a fast food restaurant all the time spent in the US Javier kept a low profile and tried not to draw attention to himself friends
considered him a kind thoughtful guy who was always ready to help in January 2018 Javier unexpectedly fell in love with a girl from a dating site it was Valerie Reyes he did everything to make her notice him when it happened Javier was ready to shout about his feelings to the whole world wrote a lot about Valerie on social media and from the first meeting he was prepared never to part with his beloved again but it turned out that Valerie was not ready for a serious relationship when Javier suggested that the girl moved in together to
live as one family he only pushed her away from him Valerie understood that her boyfriend wanted much more from this relationship but she herself was in no hurry to tie her life to a man she had huge plans for the future and marriage did not yet fit into them Valerie quickly grew tired of Javier's constant presence and decided to end the relationship however the guy was not going to give up his beloved so easily and continued to call several times a day and send dozens of text text messages Valerie even had to block his access
in all Messengers and social networks Norma Valerie's mother knew about her daughter's relationship with Javier the woman got the impression that the guy liked to control everything and if desired could easily stoop to manipulation and that's what happened once he used the death of his mother from cancer to make Valerie feel sorry for him and agree to a meeting the mother's illness was never confirmed it is possible that he was ready to do anything to get the girl back even with such dubious manipulations Javier did not take no for an answer their actual relationship lasted
less time than the period he pursued Valerie using a variety of methods for meetings the guy made the last attempt in September 2018 when he once again tried to contact Valerie about using her debit card data the girl directly told him that she did not want to have anything to do with him and sent her friend to meet him after this incident Javier did not appear in Valerie's life but was it the Calm before the storm or did he really realize the futility of his attempts to get closer this was now to be found out
by the detectives handling Valerie's case on February 11th 2019 Javier was arrested at his rented apartment in Flushing New York during the interrogation he gave several reasons why he used Valerie's debit card and withdrew money at first he claimed that he found her wallet on A Street in Manhattan inside were cards and a piece of paper with the PIN code for the debit card Javier insisted that he had not seen Valerie for about a year and was not even in the area where she lived when the police provided the guy with evidence that he had
rented a car and its location was easy to determine Javier immediately changed his story now he claimed that he was near his ex-girlfriend's house but did not see her admittedly he was forced to confess by the photographs of Valerie's body in the suitcase shown by the investigator apparently he still had some warm feelings for Valerie but his story was still far from the truth Javier said that in fact on the evening of January 28th he was communicating with Valerie the young man went to her apartment and committed the last Act of passion although they had
not seen each other for several months before that the meeting was very stormy they were having such a good time together that they didn't notice how they fell off the bed Valerie fell to the floor and hit her head so hard that she stopped reacting to anything at all at first Javier tried to bring the girl to her senses but she did not regain Consciousness in any way and he panicked then he taped her mouth shut so that Valerie would not start screaming at the most inopportune moment he tied her hands and feet and stuffed
her into a suitcase after that he got rid of it by throwing it into a wooded area the police took jav A's DNA and were able to match it with a DNA sample found on the suitcase handle as well as with a substance found under the girl's fingernails however the ex-boyfriend's story did not match the evidence that detectives had discovered by this time firstly all of Valerie's acquaintances and Friends unanimously assured that Valerie did not want to have anything to do with Javier so she would never have voluntarily made love to him secondly the forensic
examination showed that the girl died of Suffocation inside the suitcase due to several layers of tape wrapped around her face if Javier's story had been true and the guy was really scared then it is unclear why it was necessary to tie up the dead body as he claimed and then cold-bloodedly take the bank cards and withdraw all the accumulated funds the young man explained his behavior by saying that he deliberately made himself visible on the ATM camera recordings so that the police would catch him sooner after what happened he could not forgive himself and was
waiting for Retribution here a legitimate question arose as to why not just go to the police and confess given Valerie's mental state and the last conversation with her mother it is unlikely that the girl would have wanted to make love with Javier when he suddenly appeared in her apartment that night why did she have multiple injuries on her face that could not be obtained from a fall all these facts completely refuted Javier's version but the detectives could not determine the motive that forced him to deliberately take the life of the girl whose affection he had
sought for so long in the end the investigators came up with a possible motive for Javier's actions don't forget to subscribe to the channel if you like this video it's really important on January 24th 2019 about a week before valer disappeared the guy sent a text message to his new girlfriend he complained to her that he caught his in his own bed with a neighbor but this was not true as Valerie would never have gone to Javier's house on her own most likely the guy found out that Valerie had a new boyfriend he stalked Valerie
considering her his own property and the appearance of a rival on the horizon infuriated the young man as the evidence shows here's what happened that night on the evening of January 28th 2019 Javier rented a Honda car in Flushing New York where he lived and headed to his ex's apartment in New Rochelle he arrived there early in the morning parked the car near Valerie's house and put his phone in airplane mode the police pinged his phone and cell towers showed that Javier was within 300 ft of Valerie's home that morning and then the phone signal
disappeared it is unknown whether Valerie led him into the apartment or if he forced his way inside but soon after an argument broke out between them Javier's DNA was found in swab s taken from Valerie's chest and genitals this DNA along with the sample extracted from under the victim's fingernails indicated intimate contact sexual intercourse did indeed take place between them but apparently it was not completed by Mutual consent as Javier claimed most likely Valerie resisted as much as she could and as a result of the struggle scratched the attacker the violent argument and resistance led
to the girl sustaining a head injury numerous bruises on on her face and a broken nose when she lost Consciousness from the pain Javier wrapped her mouth and Chin with several layers of tape tied her legs and hands and then stuffed her into a red orange suitcase they had bought this suitcase for a joint trip when they first started dating Valerie was still alive when the rejected boyfriend decided to get rid of her she suffocated from the multiple layers of tape around her mouth and Chin her nose was broken as a result of the attack
so she simply had nothing to breathe with after the suitcase was moved to the trunk of the rented car Javier returned to the girl's apartment and cleaned up as best he could that's why the police found so little evidence there driving away from the house he unlocked Val's phone with her fingerprint and checked all the records he was interested in who she had been communicating with after breaking up with him but even more he needed her bank card information Valerie deprived of the remaining oxygen could no longer resist upon reaching Greenwich Connecticut Javier threw the
suitcase in a secluded section of the highway hidden from prying Eyes by trees he did this without even knowing whether Valerie was alive or dead on the way back home he used the girl's phone to access her banking information and then disposed of it by throwing it off a bridge into a river then Javier stopped at several different ATMs to withdraw money in addition to Valerie's mobile phone from her apartment he took her iPad and one of the pillows later the young man exchanged the tablet for a new monitor for his computer so judging by
Javier's actions after committing the crime he was not tormented by remorse on February 12th 2019 Javier enrio doso roas was charged with kidnapping resulting in death for this crime he faced the death penalty or life imprisonment it took some time to bring the case to trial Javier's defense tried to portray him as a victim hoping that the judge would remove the death penalty from the agenda the lawyers argued that this was the guy's first crime committed out of jealousy prior to this he had a reputation as a decent person with no previous criminal record his
Refugee status also played into the hands of the defense team he had to leave a country that was falling apart abandon college and flee Venezuela Javier arrived in the US with only $600 in his pocket he experienced depression due to separation from loved ones and got involved with illegal substances he was a broken man who sincerely regretted his actions and understood the horrifying nature of his behavior fortunately for him the lawyers reached a plea agreement and on February 5th 2020 Javier Enrique Doo roas pleaded guilty to kidnapping Valerie Reyes and actions that led to the
girl's death in court he fully repented and said that he would never forgive himself for what he had done and he did not even dare to beg the Reyes family for forgiveness knowing that he did not deserve it when Norma Valerie's mother took the floor and expressed in words the pain she felt at losing her daughter in her prime Javier could not hold back his tears he quietly sobbed in the defendant's dock on September 23rd 202 1 26-year-old Javier Enrique doso roas was sentenced to 30 years in prison for kidnapping resulting in death due to
the fact that he was in the United States illegally he will be deported back to Venezuela as soon as his sentence expires Valerie Reyes brought joy and happiness to everyone around her the tragic death of this girl caused a wave of outrage throughout the community in which she lived her short life jealousy cruelty Greed for money all the criminals actions do not seem accidental committed under the influence of emotions they were calculated too precisely Javier knew he was going to harm Valerie even before he entered her apartment stealing from a person he had just taken
the life of shows that he had no remorse and all his tears in the defendants dock were nothing more than another manipulation this is the end of the story like the video and leave your thoughts in the comments this was Jeremy see you soon
