Three people have been charged in the death of 19-year-old Marlen Ochoa-Lopez, who was nine months pregnant when she went missing
The dark-haired 19-year-old vanished on April 23, after she made an appeal to mothers on a Facebook group called"Help A Sister Out." 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. A student at Latino Youth High School, Ochoa-Lopez wrote that she was jobless and short on cash. She was willing to buy, trade or simply accept a donation.
Police declined to confirm any other details, citing an open investigation. Authorities asked for Ochoa-Lopez's dental records as well as a hairbrush and toothbrush from her family to identify her body, the pastor said. They also matched the baby's DNA to the father, she said."We lived together for four years and now I see her with her eyes closed," Yovany Lopez, standing outside the morgue in tears, told CNN affiliate WGBO.
