The man accused of killing an aspiring model and leaving her body in the refrigerator in her downtown Los Angeles apartment was overly possessive during the two’s brief romantic relationship, according to new reporting by the Los Angeles Times.
Kiersten Dossett, a friend of 31-year-old Maleesa Mooney, said Magnus Daniel Humphrey and Mooney’s relationship only lasted about a week, but during that time, they were rarely “more than one foot apart,” she told the Times.
“That’s my girl, that’s my woman,” Dossett quoted Humphrey, a 43-year-old Minnesota resident, as saying.
Mooney was found bound and gagged in her refrigerator more than two years ago.
Prosecutors allege Mooney suffered domestic violence before her killing, which Deputy District Attorney Antonella Nistorescu called “a cold, calculated, premeditated act of violence,” the Times reports.
It’s possible the two argued over financial matters prior to Mooney’s death, as she reportedly “express[ed] frustration that Humphrey wasn’t paying for anything,” the Times added.
“There is evidence that what started out as a consensual encounter between these two people then evolved into a situation where the victim was wanting to ask the defendant for money, but not knowing exactly how to do it,” Nistorescu said, per the Times.
