An 8-months pregnant woman was reportedly decapitated at her home in Illinois, and her head was discarded in a dumpster according to a report from TheBlaze. Police believe that the ex-boyfriend is behind the grisly murder of the young woman and her unborn child.
Deundrea Holloway, 22, was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of intentional homicide of an unborn child, and one count of dismembering a human body in the death of 22-year-old Liese Dodd and her unborn baby girl.
Heidi Noel, Dodd’s mother, hadn’t heard from her daughter in days, so she reportedly went to her home in Alton – where she had recently moved to. Shortly before 1 p.m. on June 9, Noel allegedly entered the home and found her daughter’s headless corpse. Police later found Dodd’s head in a dumpster near her home, according to court documents.
“Two hours after Dodd was found dead, Gillespie police were investigating a bicycle theft about 30 miles away from Alton, in their small town of 3,000 residents. The bike’s owner gave police a description of the man pedaling away on the stolen bike, and police arrested Holloway based on that description,” according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The outlet reported that the suspect was “combative and uncooperative when officers brought him to their police station,” according to Gillespie Police Department Chief Jared DePoppe – who added that Holloway attempted to hit his head against a wall and refused to provide his name. Holloway was booked into the Macoupin County Jail as a “John Doe.”
Holloway did not have any blood on his clothing or any signs of recently being involved in a horrific crime. The Alton Police Department informed other local law enforcement agencies in the area that they were in search of a murderer. Holloway was connected to the horrific murder after it was revealed that he had an on-and-off dating relationship with Dodd for about two years. It was also revealed that Holloway was not the father of Dodd’s unborn baby.
