Pregnant, Engaged, and Murdered | The Shocking Case of Leila Duarte Da Luz

In the latest episode of Love and Murder, we delve into a chilling case that has left a community in shock and searching for answers. On December 22, 2022, the body of 34-year-old Leila Duarte Da Luz was discovered by a fisherman beneath the ice of Carbuncle Pond in Coventry, Rhode Island. This tragic discovery led to an extensive investigation that revealed not only was Leila murdered, but she was also pregnant at the time of her death.

Leila, a resident of Brockton, Massachusetts, was reported missing just days before her body was found. The autopsy revealed that she had sustained blunt force trauma to the head and had drowned, indicating that she was still alive when she was thrown into the pond. This horrifying revelation prompted a massive investigation involving numerous search warrants and interviews.
