IL- Eliza Morales (30), pregnant, murdered after Facebook Marketplace Sale, Downers Grove, 26 January 2026

Stabbing someone 70 times is extreme and rare even in cases of crimes of passion. I can't wrap my head around this guy being a complete stranger to her. This is a very sick individual.

@cxxxxxg66 Welcome to Websleuths.​

I am so very sorry about what happened to your cousin. I can’t even imagine the nightmare you and your family are going through.

At Websleuths, we do have a verification process for family members. This allows verified relatives to share information that other members cannot, simply because you are confirmed as a family member.

If you would like to move forward, please email [email protected]. In the subject line, put that this is for the Elzia Morales case. In the body of the email, let us know that you are Elzia’s cousin and that you would like to be verified.

You’ll then be asked to provide some information so we can confirm your relationship. Once verified, we’ll note under your username that you are a verified family member. This gives you more freedom to post and speak on behalf of the family if you choose.

Over the years, we’ve found this to be the best way to ensure that actual family members are the ones sharing family information.

Thank you, and again, I’m truly sorry you’re going through this.

I've been following it. It's really horrible.

Horrifying details revealed after pregnant woman killed in Facebook Marketplace deal-turned-deadly

Horrifying details emerged in court after authorities said a 30-year-old pregnant woman was stabbed and murdered during what officials believe was a suburban Facebook Marketplace exchange turned deadly.

www.nbcchicago.com

"At about 5:47 p.m., the video shows the door to Morales' unit opening and closing. At one point, Morales is seen in "what appears to be a struggle" with Revuckus before the door quickly closes, a proffer read in court stated.

After that, the door handle is seen turning and moving from the inside.

"It appears someone is trying to open the door to get out," the proffer stated.

About 10 minutes later, smoke is seen coming out of the unit."

I'm hoping against hope the door handle was the dog trying to escape--he did then go on to escape out the sliding glass door.

From the article:

'An autopsy performed found Morales had 70 stab wounds, a majority of which were from a knife and were located on her head and neck.'

BBM

So did he start by stabbing her with the screwdriver? if he changed weapons to a knife, that seems to suggest he was determined to kill her IMO. If he did do this, he had a moment in time to stop the attack, but he didn't, he escalated it by changing to a knife.

Not sure if this is what happened but just a thought.

All IMO

Just my opinion but it seems many people are going flat out insane, and I'm not including the drugged out homeless that are all over Long Beach. I mean otherwise normal folks. The population seems on edge and I don't even make eye contact with many people in public. Very sad...
I stay away from the political news especially. That what is getting everyone riled up.

Homicide rates are pretty significantly down from 2024. Here’s a decent Write up. I think sometimes we get skewed views because we participate here and because the media hyper focuses on terrible cases that generate a lot of attention, but we’ve had pretty historically low homicide rates based on highs in the 1980s and early 1990s, and the brief bump up in 2020-2021 has dropped drastically in the last two years.
