Chicago police on Thursday described the case involving the brutal slaying of Marlen Ochoa-Lopez as "terrible and horrific." "It's a pretty terrible and horrific case," Detectives Deputy Chief Brendan Deenihan said. Deenihan said police began investigating Ochoa-Lopez's case soon after she was reported missing, but he said the case took a turn on May 7. When detectives went to the home, they met with the suspect's daughter and she told them that her mother was in the hospital because she had just delivered a baby. Detectives later went to the hospital and spoke with the suspect who denied meeting with Ochoa-Lopez, Deenihan said.
