The pregnant teen daughter of a flight attendant found stabbed to death and taped at the limbs in the body of her trunk has been charged with murder.
Alyssa Barrett, 17, faces counts of murder and burglary in her mother's death. She was charged only days after her 18-year-old boyfriend Damarius Wren was also charged with murder, according to WMAQ.

The accused: Alyssa Barrett, 17, and Damarius Wren, 18, are both charged in the murder of Barrett's mother
The 54-year-old flight attendant's body had to be identified through the serial number in her breast implants.
When police searched the victim's home they found traces of blood, stains, and red duct tape similar to that used to bound the hands and feet of Deloney-Cain.
Police were allegedly contacted by the victim's teenage daughter, who said she had found a bloody wrench in the basement bedroom of her home.
A GPS system was also found in the home, which police reports said showed directions to where the woman's body had been left in Gary.
When police questioned Wren he allegedly gave two differing accounts of how he found the body of his girlfriend's mother.
The victim's daughter, who has not been identified, later claimed that Wren had attacked her mother when she returned home on July 3.
Victim: The body of flight attendant Decarol Deloney-Cain was found bound, wrapped in bags and stuffed in the trunk of her car
She alleged that Wren put a pillowcase over Deloney-Cain's head and hit her head against the stairs, before stabbing her with a kitchen knife, according to court records seen by My Fox Memphis.
A coroner said Deloney-Cain, who had three children, suffered multiple stab wounds and blunt force trauma to the head.
The records state that the girl hid upstairs and later saw two of Wren's friends arrive and help carry the body to a car in plastic bags.

She claimed that she got in a car driven by one of the men and followed behind the vehicle her mother's body was in, and watched as it was left on a dirt road.
The court report states that she then withdrew cash from her mother's bank account, while being threatened with a gun, out of fear of what Wren and his friends may do to her.
The daughter is not facing any charges.

Deloney-Cain, who worked as a flight attendant for United Airlines, was not reported missing until Monday when she failed to turn up for work. She often worked on international flights and would be away for a couple of days at a time.
Deloney-Cain's brother, Todd, praised the police team behind the investigation.
'I do commend the Gary Police Department for coming up with charges as quick as they did,' he told NBC Chicago.
Wren is being held without bond, and police say more charges could be brought in the case.
