MISSING PREGNANT WOMAN FOUND DEAD

I BELIEVE THIS IS BECOMING AN EPIDEMIC...WHY ARE PREGNANT WOMEN ALL OVER THE U.S. BEING MURDERED? WHAT DRIVES MEN TO DO THIS?


PHILADELPHIA - Police have recovered the remains of LaToyia Figueroa, 24, the missing 5 month pregnant woman. She was last seen in the afternoon hours of July 18.

Philadelphia police have arrested Stephen Poaches, 25, the victim's former boyfriend. When Poaches was arrested, police said he was wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying a pistol. The motive is unclear at the moment.

Her remains were recovered Saturday in a grassy, partially wooded lot near homes and a road in Chester, Pennsylvania.

LaToyia Figueroa's father, Nelson Figueroa, said he was relieved that an arrest had been made. "Now she can rest in peace," he said. "All I want is justice with that peace."
