Police in Alton, Illinois, have arrested\u00a0Deundrea Holloway for the murder of his pregnant ex-girlfriend, 22-year-old\u00a0Liese Dodd. Dodd was due to give birth to a baby in July, and according to Dodd’s mother, Holloway was not the baby’s father. Authorities have charged<\/a> Holloway with\u00a0two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of intentional homicide of an unborn child, one count of dismembering a human body, and concealment of a homicidal death, as well as motor vehicle offenses.<\/p>\n

According to police, Holloway decapitated Dodd and threw her head into a nearby dumpster. Her body was later found by her mother, Heidi Noel.<\/p>\n

Alton police chief Marcos Pulido spoke about the arrest in a video featured by KMOV.\u00a0“Every murder is absolutely terrible. I will never take that away, but what happened to 22-year-old Liese Dodd, it’s abominable. It is completely terrible what happened to her,” he said<\/a>.\u00a0“She was savagely, savagely killed. She was decapitated. Decapitated by a freaking savage monster.”<\/p>\n

Noel told\u00a0KMOV<\/a>\u00a0that the family was in the midst of planning a baby shower for Dodd when she was tragically killed.\u00a0\u201cWe were planning her baby shower for the end of this 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,\u201d Noel said. \u201cShe wasn\u2019t set on a name yet. [She] said \u2018my little bean.\u2019 So, we essentially were calling the baby, \u2018baby bean\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Noel said Dodd and Holloway had been dating on and off for about two years, but that the relationship was tumultuous. \u201cBecause of the nature of the relationship, I made contact with her every day to check-in, so there was quite a time span that she hadn\u2019t responded to me,\u201d said Noel. \u201cSo, that\u2019s what prompted me to go check on her.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Homicide is the leading cause of death<\/a> for pregnant women, and, according to the Family Violence Prevention Fund, most often those homicides are the result of domestic violence. Pregnant women are\u00a0more likely to die<\/a>\u00a0by homicide at the hands of their partners\u00a0than to die by any other cause.<\/em><\/p>\n

“I just wish she would’ve known how loved she was,” Noel said. “That she wouldn’t have ever been alone, [and] that she could’ve gotten out of this relationship and had a full life.”<\/p>\n

If you are a victim of domestic violence, please contact\u00a0<\/i>the National Domestic Violence Hotline<\/i><\/a>, or call 1-800-799-SAFE.<\/i><\/p>\n
