While they are grate­ful that the re­mains of their loved one were fi­nal­ly found, the moth­er and aunt of mur­der vic­tim Sal­isha Ali say they con­tin­ue to grap­ple with the grief of her loss, es­pe­cial­ly when they re­flect on the vi­o­lent cir­cum­stances be­hind her death.

Ali, 33, had mi­grat­ed from T&T to the US with her hus­band Rupc­hand Sim­boo. Ac­cord­ing to re­ports, she was last seen alive in Ju­ly, 2025.

In­for­ma­tion pub­lished on the Queen’s Dis­trict At­tor­ney’s web­site yes­ter­day re­port­ed that on Sep­tem­ber 22, 2025, san­i­ta­tion work­ers found Ali’s tor­so wrapped in a blue mov­ing blan­ket near 149th Av­enue and Brookville Boule­vard, New York. More re­mains were found by po­lice in­ves­ti­ga­tors near the North Chan­nel Bridge be­tween March 5 and 6.
