As she left high school last month, Marlen Ochoa-Lopez ran a quick errand before picking up her 3-year-old son. It was the last time she would be seen alive.

Oh gosh.
That last picture speaks a million words.
I just can’t.
Poor man. I’m really just beyond devastated for this family. My gosh. I feel so empty. May they be embraced in love and peace. I hope every resource is available to them to help them heal. Which will probably never come because no parent should bury their child more so in this horrific manner. Two fathers will be burying their children.
Ugh.

Why on earth did the father need to view her then if she'd been identified using dental records? Omg she had been dead for 3 weeks why would they allow that.

That is exactly what I was thinking! She had been in a garbage can for 3 weeks? How do you go on after you see your child like that?

I can't imagine that being burned into my brain as the last time I saw my child.

According to family friends, Ochoa’s family has not been able to see her body. Ochoa’s mother showed up at the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office on Wednesday while the office was closing.
She returned today and was asked to sign a waiver to view a picture of the decomposed remains, officials said. A medical examiner office spokesperson said the office would never prevent a family from viewing a body, but noted that Ochoa’s remains had to be identified with dental records.

I guess I can see why a parent would want to. Like Morgan Harrington's parents. But at least Morgan was skeletal. How horrific. Hopefully everyone else reconsiders now that her father has viewed her.
