Police suspect a Southwest Side woman lured a young expectant mother to her home before the pregnant woman was slain and the child was cut out of her body.
Authorities said a body found in a garbage can early Wednesday in the woman’s backyard in the 4100 block of West 77th Place is that of the pregnant woman — Marlen Ochoa-Lopez, who was reported missing three weeks ago. They said the woman was strangled to death and ruled the death a homicide.
Sources said charges are expected to be filed against a 46-year-old woman, whom family friends say Ochoa-Lopez met on a Facebook group.
