Overview
- Judge Joshua Dieden ordered 19-year-old Nedas Revuckas detained without bond in the death of 30-year-old Eliza Morales and her unborn child.
- Revuckas is charged with first-degree murder, intentional homicide of an unborn child, armed robbery, aggravated arson and aggravated cruelty to animals.
- Court filings say building cameras captured the meetup tied to a pickup-truck paperwork exchange, a struggle at Morales’ door and smoke minutes later.
- An autopsy reported about 70 stab wounds, mostly to the head and neck, defensive injuries and soot in Morales’ airway, with the knife not yet recovered.
- Prosecutors say Revuckas confessed, described starting a kitchen fire and led police to discarded bloody clothing and Morales’ items; his next hearing is Feb. 18.
