Figueroa and two accomplices are charged in the death of pregnant Chicago teen Marlen Ochoa.
Clarisa Figueroa, a Chicago woman accused of killing a pregnant teenager and cutting her baby out of her, allegedly faked her own pregnancy, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Earlier that day, a baby had been taken to the city’s Christ Medical Center. Ochoa’s family later confirmed that the baby, named Yavani Yadiel Lopez, was hers, and that he is in grave condition.
Police had been given a lead in the case by a tipster who told them that Ochoa had belonged to a Facebook group for new moms, called “Help a Mother Out,” where moms would exchange baby clothes and supplies with each other.
