The Case of Marlen Ochoa Lopez & Yovanny Lopez

This week, Drewby and Yergy travel to Chicago to discuss the case of Marlen Ochoa Lopez, a young mother who was about to give birth to her second child. That was until she met Clarisa Figueroa in a local Facebook Group for moms. Under the guise of providing Marlen with some gently used baby clothes, Clarisa lured the expectant mother to her home where she and her daughter, Desiree, murdered Marlen and cut her newborn from her womb.
