A 22-year-old who was eight months pregnant was decapitated in her home by her ex-boyfriend, who now faces murder charges, police said. Deundrea Holloway, 22, has been charged with murder, intentional homicide of an unborn child and several other crimes in connection to the June 9 murder of Liese Dodd. Dodd’s mother went to her home to check on her last week and found her dead, police in Alton, Illinois said. Police Chief Marcos Pulido said the couple were in an ‘on-again off-again relationship’ that lasted two years. Dodd was expected to deliver her child in late July. Holloway has also been accused of abandoning Dodd’s head in a dumpster, court records show. Dodd’s mother, Heidi Noel, told KMOV how the family was planning a baby shower for the end of the month. ‘I had just sent out invitations the prior Saturday for the baby shower. We were just excited and gathering the items you need to have a baby,’ Noel said. ‘She wasn’t set on a name yet. She said “my little bean.” So, we essentially were calling the baby, “baby bean.”‘ Instead of planning the shower, she now has to plan a funeral after finding her daughter’s decapitated body.
