A shocking photo shows Clarisa Figueroa (center) smiling and posing with the baby boy she allegedly ripped from the womb of his pregnant mother, 19-year-old Marlen Ochoa (left). Figueroa pretended to be Yavani Yadiel Lopez’s mother on April 23 as she entered the Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, Illinois, shortly after she strangled his mother, according to police. She told doctors she had birthed Yavani (right) but showed no signs of labor. Figueroa was covered in blood and was holding the gravely ill child as hospital staff worked to treat him. For weeks, Figueroa (bottom right inset) pretended the baby was hers and even set up a GoFundMe page asking for donations to help care for him. But on May 7, Chicago police arrested and charged Figueroa and her daughter, Desiree, 24, with first-degree murder. Authorities said the two women lured Ochoa to Figueroa's home on April 23 with the promise of free baby supplies, but she was instead strangled, and her baby extracted from her womb. Piotr Bobak, 40, whom police described as the elder Figueroa's boyfriend, was charged with concealing the murder. Yavani is still in the hospital. He has zero brain function but his family says they are praying for a miracle and will not turn off his ventilator. On Sunday, he opened his eyes in his father's arms for the very first time. Figueroa, her daughter and her boyfriend are currently in custody and will return to court on June 3.
