Ronald Schroeder, 31, was arrested at New York's Penn Station after the body of Seikeya Jones, 31, was found in a suitcase in Huntington, Long Island. The gruesome discovery was made by locals who reported a foul odor emanating from the area. Jones had been reported missing by her family on August 16, and her body was discovered in a fetal position, with black cords around her wrists and a bungee cord securing the suitcase. Authorities revealed that Schroeder was found in possession of date rape drugs and other illegal substances at the time of his arrest. He faces charges related to the concealment of a human corpse. The investigation is ongoing, with police trying to determine how long the suitcase had been in the wooded area before its discovery and the time of Jones's death. Jones's family described her struggles with homelessness and mental health issues, emphasizing their inability to help her. Her sister expressed outrage over the circumstances of her death, stating that no one has the right to harm another person, regardless of their struggles. Schroeder is currently being held without bond in Suffolk County jail and waived his right to appear for his arraignment due to illness. He is scheduled to return to court on Thursday as the investigation continues into the tragic events surrounding Jones's death.
