This is a mishmash of outdated links and previews and pages that only show up in google cache but they all seem to agree that this is Tanya Rush.

This mindless thread appears to have a quote from a news article referring to this case (same date) but there's no link. If the info is reliable New York State Dot workers made the discovery on the ramp to the Southern State Pkwy. at Exit 25 Newbridge Rd. in Bellmore Friday June 27, 2008

Body Found Dumped In North Merrick On Parkway

July 10, 2008 - For the second time in two weeks, a body was found dumped on the side of a road on the Southern State Parkway in the North Merrick area, police said yesterday.

A "laundry-type bag" containing the badly decomposed body of an adult was found Wednesday night on the shoulder of the parkway west of Merrick Ave. in No. Merrick, State Police said. That was about a mile away, police said, from a parkway ramp at Newbridge Road in No. Bellmore where a suitcase was found on June 27 that contained the dismembered body of a Brooklyn woman. Investigators have not identified the latest victim but they suspect it is the body of a woman.

The dismembered body found two weeks ago was eventually identified as Tanya Rush, 39, of East New York, Brooklyn, a mother of three. There have been no arrests in that case

So we don't even know if she was found in a suitcase or a "laundry type bag"? Any word on whether Tanya was involved in high risk behavior (such as the escorts found on Long Island more recently)?
 
No, Tanya Rush was found in a suitcase according to everything that I found. The laundry type bag refers to another tragic discovery in the same area about a mile away that was made a couple of weeks later. I don't know what that story is.
 
ty for clarifying. Getting so used to bad reporting lately I assumed same case, different reporting.

Six years later, who dismembered Tanya Rush of Brooklyn and dumped her in North Bellmore remains a mystery that her family and state police need the public's help to solve. State police are offering up to a $2,500 reward leading to an arrest and conviction in the death of Rush, 39...

"We handed out thousands of fliers." O'Sullivan recalled. "Do you know we never got one phone call? Not one. What does that say? Either it says the community doesn't care or the community doesn't know... Everybody we spoke to, once we gained their trust, there was outrage and shock and horror from some pretty hard-core guys on the street."

More recently, investigators have checked into body-in-suitcase discoveries in Wisconsin, the torso in Bay Shore this month, the Gilgo Beach remains, and more in futile pursuit of answers for Rush.

*2010:
Rush's body had been dismembered, placed in a suitcase and tossed along the Southern State. State road workers checking for debris detected a foul smell and found the suitcase near the tree line. Rush, 39, was a mother of three. State Police are still on the case and know Rush was last seen on a Brooklyn block near where she was known to work, said State Police investigator Thomas Hughes.

"We still haven't been able to determine who brought her out here," said Hughes of the major crimes unit. "It's just a matter of, whose car did she get in?"

*2014:
State police investigators have handed out thousands of fliers and meticulously scrutinized her past.

“We did not get one phone call,” Investigator Michael O’Sullivan of the Major Crimes unit told the Press in a phone interview.

Rush, who worked as a prostitute, lived at 345 Livonia Avenue in Brooklyn before she disappeared.

“Whoever put her there didn’t make a great effort to hide her,” O’Sullivan said. Had they dragged her into a wooded area, he said, police might never have discovered the suitcase

''NORTH BELLMORE, N.Y. (PIX11) — When part of Tanya Rush’s body was discovered in a black suitcase near the Southern State Parkway in June 2008, police didn’t know the mystery of who killed her would linger for 15 years.

The Brooklyn mother of three daughters, who was 39, had turned to sex work after she developed a bad drug habit.

With the July 13th arrest of architect Rex Heuermann in the Gilgo Beach serial killer case, Rush’s unsolved murder is getting another look, along with many others.

Rush’s friend, Willie Stembridge, told PIX11 News Tanya Rush was his neighbor at Van Dyck Houses in Brownsville, Brooklyn. He said Rush used to street walk near the Linden and Galaxy hotels; she often worked near New Lots and Pennsylvania Avenues.

Police are now investigating whether she was ever picked up by the accused serial killer, who could have conceivably taken the Belt Parkway into the Southern State Parkway on his way home to Massapequa Park in Nassau County.''
