Published reports say Lopez beat her in
the past and had her work as a prostitute. Her mother tried to help her,
reports say, to no avail. When reached by telephone on Sunday, a woman
who identified herself as Aduba’s mother refused to talk about her
daughter’s brutal death.
Lopez, 31, was apprehended in East
Harlem’s 23rd Precinct on Saturday. He was taken into custody following a
manhunt using helicopters and dogs.
Police said they found Lopez while
acting on a tip and that he was arrested following a brief foot chase.
They added that he had shaved his head to disguise his appearance.
Cops had been searching for Lopez since
early Friday morning when an off-duty police officer observed him
wheeling Aduba’s lifeless body on a metal dolly in Mariners Harbor,
police said.
