On May 16, the Chicago Police Department issued a press release regarding the suspects in the alleged murder of pregnant 19-year-old Marlen Ochoa-Lopez.
Three suspects have been arrested and charged – two with the alleged murder, and one with the concealment of the crime.
Clarisa Figueroa, 46, and daughter Desiree Figueroa, 24, have been charged with “one felony count of first degree murder” and “one felony count of aggravated battery/child<13/permanent disability.” The third person allegedly involved, Piotr Bobak, 40, has been charged with “one felony count of [concealing the] death of [a] person” and “one felony count of [concealing] homicidal death,” according to the press release.
CNN reports that in late-April, Ochoa-Lopez posted a message on “Help a Sister Out,” a Facebook group, asking other users if they had a stroller for sale or donation. A woman replied to the post, asking that she and Ochoa-Lopez, who was nine months pregnant at the time, enter into private messages.
Sometime after the exchange, Ochoa-Lopez disappeared. According to police, she was allegedly lured to a Chicago home with the promise of procuring items for her baby. Two of the suspects then allegedly strangled Ochoa-Lopez with a cable, cut her open, and removed her child from her body.
According to the press release: “Clarissa Figueroa attempted to claim she had just given birth to the child that was then transported to an area hospital.”
During a May 16 press conference regarding the horrific crime, Deputy Chief of Detectives Brendan Deenihan laid out the details of the case.
He stated that Ochoa-Lopez was last seen on April 23, and that her husband, Yovani Lopez, reported her missing on the 24th. Over the following days (approximately two weeks), police searched for evidence of the victim and her vehicle.
On May 7, a friend of Ochoa-Lopez reportedly pointed authorities to the “Help a Sister Out” social media post, which ultimately led them to the home of the suspects. When detectives arrived at the residence of Clarisa Figueroa, daughter Desiree claimed that her mother was in the hospital with leg issues, and that she had also given birth.
