Body of Missing Philly Woman Found

LaToyia Figueroa's body was found over the weekend in a grassy, wooded lot in Chester, PA. To almost no one's surprise, her former boyfriend Stephen Poaches has been charged with the crime. Poaches, who claims to had last seen her July 18, told the Philly Tribune that he had absolutely nothing to do with her murder. This reminds me of when Scott Peterson, convicted murderer went on national TV to proclaim his innocence as well.

The thing I don't understand is why? These are young, pregnant women. Can't these guys just leave them? Isn't facing a double murder rap worse than having to shell out child support????

Sadly, the leading cause of death for pregnant women is murder:

yes that is a very true and sad statistic. again, i don't understand how being charged and then most likely convicted of murder could be better than having to pay child support or being sued for it, etc.

I'm guessing they're not factoring getting caught into their plans. Women go through natural hormonal changes when they're pregnant. Men probably go through some kind of mental change when they find out they're going to be fathers. In some cases, that change is that they become raging murderous psychos. There's probably some dark evolutionary reason for this but it's still no excuse. These guys are the lowest scum on earth and should be removed from the gene pool.
