Pregnant Massachusetts Teen Found Dead After Sending Chilling Final Text
What should have been a time of joy turned into a tragedy beyond imagination. Eighteen-year-old Kylee Monteiro, an expectant mother, was discovered brutally murdered and buried in her boyfriend’s backyard in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. Authorities have charged 22-year-old Gregory Groom with her killing, alleging that he ended her life in an act of unspeakable violence.
Monteiro had vanished on August 7, but not before sending a terrifying text message to her sister that now reads like a haunting warning. “He threw me on the ground and pulled my hair and strangled me. My phone’s at 4 percent. If I die, it was Greg,” she wrote. Those words would be her last communication, a desperate attempt to cry for help that came too late.
The Gruesome Discovery Behind a Family Home
The search for Kylee ended on a heartbreaking note when police uncovered her body buried behind a shed on the property of Groom’s grandparents, where he also lived. The young woman, who was 11 weeks pregnant, had been stabbed with a kitchen knife, dragged into the woods, and buried roughly five feet deep in a shallow grave about 20 yards from the attack site.
Initially, Groom tried to mislead investigators, reporting Kylee missing and claiming she had left after an argument. However, when authorities pressed forward with a search warrant, Groom reportedly confessed to the crime, admitting that he had stabbed her and concealed her body.
The news has left the community reeling, with residents struggling to process the horror of what happened. Friends and loved ones have taken to social media to express their grief, remembering Kylee as a bright, loving young woman whose life and that of her unborn child were stolen in the most brutal way.
A Chilling Case of Betrayal and Unanswered Questions
Court records reveal that Groom pleaded not guilty during his arraignment in Taunton District Court. Prosecutors outlined a horrifying sequence of events, stating that Kylee came to Groom’s house seeking safety, only to meet a tragic end at his hands.
The motive behind this heinous crime remains unclear, and investigators have not yet confirmed whether Groom was the father of the unborn child. Meanwhile, Kylee’s family is left shattered, mourning not only the loss of a beloved daughter and sister but also the unborn life that will never see the light of day.
