A 24-year-old mother was found bludgeoned to death in her bathtub, and her daughter, 4, beaten unconscious in her bed nearly 12 hours after a 911 call was placed from her phone last Saturday - and the boyfriend of a friend who used her as a fake 'cover story' so she could go on a night out has been arrested.

The body of Mackenzie Hopkins was found submerged in a bathtub at her home in Kansas City, Missouri, just before 6pm on January 15 with blunt force trauma injuries to her face and head.

Her father found her body after requesting a welfare check, according to a press release from Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker.

Hopkins' daughter, whose name was withheld, was found lying on her own bed suffering from severe head trauma. She remains hospitalized in critical condition.

Jose Escalante-Corchado, 28 - the boyfriend of a friend who used her as a cover story so that she could go on a night out the evening before - has been charged with first-degree murder and is being held without bond.

Police said that a 911 call was placed from Hopkins' phone around 6am that morning where the operator could hear people arguing, although no one spoke. It's not clear whether police were dispatched to her home.

Bloody shoe prints found throughout the home were traced to a specific brand of cowboy boots owned by Escalante-Corchado and his van was seen in on surveillance footage near Hopkins' home around the time of her murder.

“Immigration status is what exactly?”

I have no idea. The article didn’t say; or, if it did, I missed it.

Well, he made enough money doing something that he could afford boots with an uusual sole pattern. Doesn’t sound like they were off the rack at Cavender’s or the outlet store.

Yep. You are correct. That is indeed a Mexican thing.

To with, I was married to a woman from Mexico for 22 years. Had 2 daughters and she wanted their names hyphenated with her maiden name. I set her straight on that. Needless to say, it didn’t happen.

Escalante-Corchado’s girlfriend says she’s going to see her friend Mackenzie, and when E-C checks up, he decides to kill Mackenzie and her child?

Is that right? That is one vicious jealous psychopath bastard.

“and the boyfriend of a friend who used her as a fake ‘cover story’ so she could go on a night out has been arrested. “

“My best friend’s sister’s boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend” from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off makes more sense than this line.
