A woman whose mutilated body was found in a bag made a distressing phone call before she disappeared. Michelle Montgomery, a mother of four, was discovered dismembered and placed in a plastic bag last Sunday in a disturbing incident in New York City. Authorities were alerted to an “unconscious person” in a block of apartments but found the woman’s remains in the basement instead.
The devastated family of the 39-year-old shared their last interaction with her the night before her tragic death. According to Michelle Montgomery’s husband, she was in high spirits and left the apartment to meet friends. Her body was located at a NYCHA housing complex where she did not reside. Anthony Echevarria, her husband, mentioned that she went out with friends, but he was unaware of who she was with.
In an interview with ABC 7, Echevarria expressed how Michelle had left home feeling lively and joyful. Serenity Montgomery, Michelle’s sister, disclosed that she heard music in the background during a FaceTime call with Michelle before it abruptly ended. She was uncertain about the purpose of the call. Shortly after, Michelle posted a video on social media showing her dancing with two individuals.
Echevarria, speaking to the New York Post, mentioned that his wife rarely went out due to their responsibilities with the children. He expressed shock over her not returning home after leaving with friends. The police have not made any arrests in the case yet, and the investigation into the tragic death is ongoing. Maintenance workers were observed entering and exiting the building where Montgomery’s body was found.
Following Michelle’s untimely demise, her family set up a Gofundme page to support her children. They described Michelle as a beautiful soul, a dedicated mother, and an irreplaceable figure in her children’s lives. The family expressed deep sorrow and shock over the loss, highlighting the void left by Michelle’s absence in their lives.
