A missing pregnant woman has been found dead. Her baby was forcibly removed from her womb, police say



Marlen Ochoa-Lopez was nine months pregnant when she went missing.

The dark-haired 19-year-old vanished on April 23 in response to an offer on Facebook of free baby clothes was strangled and her baby cut from her womb, police and family members said.

She needed help securing a double stroller for her toddler and a new baby on the way, according to social media posts and a pastor who has been assisting her family.

The newborn was in grave condition and not expected to survive, and three people were taken into custody, with charges including murder to be filed on Thursday afternoon.


The body of 19-year-old Marlen Ochoa-Lopez was found early on Wednesday behind the house. The nine-months-pregnant woman was last seen leaving her high school on April 23, the same day paramedics were called to the home several kilometers away over a newborn with problems breathing.


“We believe that she was murdered, and we believe that the baby was forcibly removed following that murder,” Guglielmi said, calling it an “unspeakable act of violence”.

According to WLS-TV, an emergency services dispatcher reported that a 46-year-old woman had called to say that she had given birth 10 minutes earlier and the baby was pale and blue and not breathing.

The family of Ochoa-Lopez, a married mother of a three-year-old son, said a woman on Facebook had lured her to the home by offering a stroller and baby clothes.
“She was giving clothes away, supposedly under the pretence that her daughters had been given clothes and they had all these extra boy clothes,” said Cecelia Garcia, a spokeswoman for the family.


Ochoa-Lopez’s family has been looking for her since her disappearance more than three weeks ago, organising search parties, holding news conferences and pushing police for updates on the investigation.


Her husband, Yiovanni Lopez, visited his son at the hospital and named him Yadiel, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
“Why did these people, why did these bad people, do this? She did nothing to them,” Lopez told WLS. “She was a good person.”
