Video shows man hauling bulging suitcase with woman's body inside: prosecutors
Daisy Hayes' family members know she is dead. But they say they will not be able to find closure without being able to lay her body to rest.
The devoted grandmother hasn't been seen or heard from since May.
On Thursday, Judge Mary Marubio ordered Jimmy Jackson - her ex-boyfriend who lived in the same apartment building with her - held without bail on a charge of first-degree murder in Hayes' death.
The last time 65-year-old Hayes was seen, she was entering her 11th-floor apartment in a building in the 6300 block of South Minerva in Woodlawn, Assistant State's Attorney Rachel Mabbott said in court. Multiple security cameras on the floor recorded her entering her apartment at 8:30 p.m. May 1.
Prosecutors allege that cameras show Jackson entering Hayes' apartment with a key at 4:50 a.m. About a half-hour later, Jackson left. Soon thereafter, Jackson returned with a large suitcase he carried easily with one hand. Four minutes later, Mabbott said, Jackson left Hayes' apartment with the suitcase, which was then misshapen and bulging.
