A model working as a freelancer in the United States was found dead with her hands and feet tied inside a refrigerator, shocking the public.

It was especially shocking to learn that Mooney was two months pregnant at the time of her death.

Mooney's family reported her missing to the police on September 12 after losing contact with her.

The police responded to the report and went to the apartment where Mooney lived. They forced open the door and searched the residence. During the search, they found Mooney dead inside the refrigerator, bound with electrical wires and clothing.

The refrigerator where Mooney was found was soaked with blood. The body showed signs of physical assault.

The last time Mooney was seen was on CCTV footage entering her home six days before the missing person report. After Mooney entered, an unidentified man followed her inside using her key card.

An autopsy revealed that the cause of death was trauma caused by a blunt object. There were signs of beating all over her body, and her ribs were fractured.

Jordin Foley, the victim’s sister, told local media, “Mooney always wanted to become a mother,” and added, “It is incredibly painful for the family to go through such a horrific event.”

A police official explained, “Cocaine and alcohol were detected, but they are not believed to be the direct cause of death.”

The police are currently tracking the suspect.

There have been other cases of models being brutally murdered. In February, Hong Kong model Abby Choi was found dismembered inside a refrigerator in an apartment in a village in Tai Po, a suburb of Hong Kong, killed by her former father-in-law and former uncle-in-law.
