Pregnant, Engaged, and Murdered | The Shocking Case of Leila Duarte Da Luz

On December 22, 2022, the body of 34-year-old Leila Duarte Da Luz was found by a fisherman in Coventry's Carbuncle Pond with lacerations on her head. An autopsy revealed that she was pregnant. Who was Leila, and who could have committed this heinous act? 

Join Ky as she delves into the case of Leila Duarte Da Luz, uncovering the horrifying details of her murder and the investigation that followed.

Leila was last seen leaving her Brockton home with her fiancé, Gary Gromkiewicz, in the early hours of December 21. Her body was discovered the next day, submerged in the icy waters of Carbuncle Pond. The medical examiner determined that she had suffered blunt force trauma to the head and had drowned. The investigation revealed that Gary, along with his friend Michael Lambert, had driven around Rhode Island with Leila before her murder.

Gary, who was on probation for a previous felony, and Michael, with a history of violent crime, were both arrested and charged with murder and conspiracy to commit murder.

Poll Question:
Do you think that people who murder pregnant women should receive harsher punishments than those who do not?
