Five months after her boyfriend’s headless body was discovered inside her home, a California woman who had been working as an exotic dancer has been extradited from Mexico to face murder charges.
Alyssa Marie Lira, 23, of Anaheim, faces one count of murder with a felony enhancement for personally using a weapon, prosecutors announced Thursday.
On Aug. 25, 2025, the decapitated body of 55-year-old Enrique Gonzalez-Carbajal was found inside Lira’s Anaheim home. Homicide detectives quickly identified Lira as the suspect, prosecutors said, and learned she had fled to Mexico.
The couple had been dating for about two months and met as Lira was working at a local strip club, according to the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.
Local authorities worked with the FBI and Mexican officials to locate and arrest Lira. She was taken into custody Jan. 22 and turned over to Anaheim police homicide detectives the following day at the San Ysidro Port of Entry. Authorities did not disclose where in Mexico she was found.
“Nothing — not time, not distance, nor foreign borders — will thwart our pursuit of justice, and Orange County law enforcement will continue to go to the very ends of the Earth to carry out our mission and hold criminals accountable for the heinous acts they commit,” DA Todd Spitzer said in a statement.
Lira is being held without bail at the Orange County Jail with an arraignment scheduled for Feb. 13.
“This investigation and prosecution are a testament to the tenacity and dedication of the Anaheim Police Department, the Orange County District Attorney’s Office, and our federal and international partners to identify a cold-blooded killer, track her down in a foreign country, and bring her back to the United States to face the full weight of the law,” Spitzer said.
Prosecutors have not yet revealed a motive.

Thoughts?
There’s a country song in there somewhere.
Old story, new headline. The girl tracked the boyfriend down to Mexico to behead him. Or something.
No, she beheaded him in Anaheim and lammed it to Mexico.
::The couple had been dating for about two months....
~~~~~~~~~~
The definition of “dating” has changed so dramatically since I was a young woman.
True, but you would not get that from the headline.
Normally, the dude is the one who asks for head…
In the spirit of the NY Post headline, “Headless Body in Topless Bar,” we could say “Topless Dancer with Headless Boyfriend To Face Justice.”
At her home? That’s going to be hard to spin.
This could make a great movie. Headless in Anaheim.
Just don’t hire Alec Baldwin and let him play with swords. No more oopsies for Alec.

When Abby and Brittany were born back in 1990, the doctors told their parents they most likely wouldn't survive the night. (One in 40,000 twin births are conjoined, and just one percent of those make it to the age of one.) But they defied the medical odds by not only surviving, but thriving. At six years old, the twins were featured on Oprah and appeared on the cover of Life magazine, but since then, parents Patty and Mike have raised the twins out of the media spotlight in rural Minnesota, giving them a chance at a normal childhood.
She’s what you call a day stripper; it would be frightening to see that at nighttime.
Must have been a language problem between the two love birds, when the man said he wanted head, I don’t think that is what he meant.
Not quite psycho-puta eyes, but black as coal…like her soul, apparently.
Not Minnesota! Jeepers, is there anything normal there???
“I was just decapitated by my adult-dancer girlfriend,” he said absentmindedly.
Authorities did not disclose where in Mexico she was found.
DeCapo San Lucas is my guess.
She was taken into custody Jan. 22 and turned over to Anaheim police homicide detectives
If they're playing an endless loop of "In the tiki tiki tiki tiki tiki room..", it's a good start.
