New details are being uncovered surrounding Maleesa Mooney‘s murder.
Over a year after Magnus Humphrey was arrested and charged in connection to her killing, prosecutors shared details about the alleged relationship he had with the model, who was found bound and gagged in a refrigerator during a routine welfare check in Los Angeles in 2023.
During an Oct. 16 court hearing, the prosecution alleged that Humphrey, 43, and Mooney, 31, were engaged in a five-day romance in the days leading up to her death, according to the Los Angeles Times, who had a reporter in the room. The pair were allegedly introduced through his estranged brother in September 2023.
One of Mooney’s friends, Keirsten Dossett, said that Humphrey had become “obsessive” about her pal, with the pair rarely “more than one foot apart” during their weeklong relationship, per the outlet.
Additionally, Dossett alleged that Humphrey attended a family barbecue with Mooney during that time and referred to her as “my girl” and “my woman,” the Los Angeles Times reported.
And while Humphrey’s lawyer Michael Lambrose acknowledged that he was in a relationship with Mooney at the time of her death, he denied his client had any involvement in her murder.
