On Thursday last week, Liese Dodd was found dead at home in the small town of Alton in Illinois.
According to the local channel KMOV, the 22-year-old was found by his own mother.
The mother had not heard from her daughter for a long time, and had become very worried.
Liese Dodd was eight months pregnant with her first child when she was found beheaded.
– She was brutally, brutally killed. It’s completely beyond, says Illinois Police Chief Marcos Pulido.

He faces several charges, including two counts of premeditated murder, premeditated murder of an unborn child, mutilation of a human being, offenses related to a motor vehicle, and for having concealed the killings.

From baby shows to funerals
According to Fox 2 Now, Dodd had just moved into the area when she was killed.
In a press release, police chief Pulido writes that Liese Dodd was killed just a couple of weeks before his own baby show.
– This daughter, this future mother and her family, was in the planning stage of a baby show that was to be at the end of June. Now the family is planning a funeral, he says.
This is what Madison County Attorney Tom Haine told Fox59:
– We send our deepest condolences to Liese Dodd’s family after the cruel loss they have experienced.

Two equal killings
Pulido says he is sure that the amount of evidence on the spot will get Dodd’s ex-girlfriend convicted of killing both her and the unborn child.
– We believe that the evidence will show that the accused’s horrific actions led to the murder of a young woman and the child she bore. In the eyes of the law, both of these killings are equal.
Liese Dodd’s ex-girlfriend is in custody on bail of almost NOK 20 million.
It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post.
