Marlen Ochoa-Lopez was reported missing almost a month ago. Now, officials say that she was strangled to death.
By Antonia Noori Farzan Antonia Noori Farzan Reporter for the Morning Mix Email Bio Follow May 16 at 6:47 AM The last time anyone saw Marlen Ochoa-Lopez, she was nine months pregnant.
Any hopes that the teenager might still be alive were dashed on Wednesday, when officials confirmed that human remains discovered at a home on the southwest side of Chicago belonged to Ochoa-Lopez, and that her baby had been ripped from her womb. At around 6 p.m. on the same day that Ochoa-Lopez failed to pick up her son from day care, paramedics from the Chicago Fire Department were dispatched to the same southwest Chicago home where her body was found weeks later. The call was about a newborn baby.
While police haven’t released any details about the ongoing investigation, family members have said that Ochoa-Lopez was lured to the home by a woman whom she met through a Facebook group for young mothers.
