The body of missing pregnant teenager Marlen Ochoa has been found, nearly a month after she vanished.
The body of the 19-year-old was discovered in a garbage can in the backyard of a house in Chicago on May 15, where she went missing on April 23.
That was the baby a DNA test showed belonged to Ochoa.
The woman, who has not been named publicly, later started a GoFundMe fundraiser for the funeral of the baby, telling people the boy was sick and would die soon.
Yiovanni Lopez, Ochoa's husband, told reporters at a press conference that the loss of his wife was painful.
“I have a lot of pain, a lot of anguish, a lot of sadness. It’s painful to lose your wife, the woman you love the most. It’s painful," he said. “We’re gonna have justice with those responsible. We’re gonna go hard after them. We won’t let it go.”
Police later said that they believe the woman ripped the baby out of Ochoa's womb.
“We believe all of them played some role in this unspeakable act of violence,” Guglielmi told the Tribune, “and detectives are now interrogating [those] individuals.”
No one has been officially arrested or charged as of yet.
The Facebook group in which Ochoa met the woman has been shut down and members said they had discussed being careful meeting strangers in person.
"Don't go in strangers' houses. Always bring somebody with you," former member Samantha Holubik told WGN. "I think it's making people more aware, because you would never think that."
The woman said that she stopped hiring the other woman when she began acting weirdly.
"She told me how she was getting really attached to the baby, how she couldn't wait to be a mom again," the woman said. "She said that she needed money because she was having a new baby. She told me she was due in May."
