Police are trying to identify a woman whose remains were found inside a burnt suitcase in Brooklyn last month.
Cops discovered the suitcase containing the remains March 23 at 174 Hull St. in Bed-Stuy. A fire had occurred at the location nearly 10 months earlier on May 9, 2012, police said.
The remains have been determined to be those of a woman in her late teens to mid-20s, between 5 feet and 5-feet-6. Police have released an artist’s sketch of the victim and are asking for the public’s help in identifying her.
