Marlen Ochoa-Lopez was reportedly lured to a house to pick up free baby clothes and a stroller that had been offered in a pregnant mothers' Facebook group.
“She was giving clothes away, supposedly under the pretense that her daughters had been given clothes and they had all these extra boy clothes,” Cecelia Garcia, a spokesperson for the family, told the AP.
Then, on Wednesday, more than three weeks after her disappearance, Ochoa-Lopez's body was found behind the house where she went to pick up the clothes. The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed the manner of death to BuzzFeed News.“We believe that she was murdered, and we believe that the baby was forcibly removed following that murder,” Guglielmi told the AP.
Ochoa-Lopez's father, Arnulfo Ochoa, walking into the Cook County medical examiner's office to identify her body "We plead to God that he gives us our child because that is a blessing that my wife left for us," he said in Spanish alongside a translator.
