The sister of slain pregnant teenager Kylee Monteiro has shared a heartbreaking post after her death, saying all Kylee ever wanted was her boyfriend to love her back. Kylee’s boyfriend, 22-year-old Gregory Groom, faced a judge Wednesday morning, August 20, after the prosecuting attorney said he confessed to the murder.
According to prosecutors, Groom admitted to police that he stabbed Kylee to death behind his shed and buried her body in the woods nearby. Human remains consistent with Kylee were found during a search of Groom’s home, Bristol County District Attorney Thomas M. Quinn said.
