ANAHEIM, Calif. (WKRC) – A 23-year-old woman allegedly beheaded her 55-year-old boyfriend after just 2 months of dating and abandoned his headless body in her home to flee the country.<\/p>\n

Officers were dispatched to the home of 23-year-old Alyssa Marie Lira, an exotic dancer from Anaheim, at around 2 p.m. on August 25, 2025 after someone called 911 to report the discovery of a beheaded body inside the house, according to a statement from Anaheim Police public information office Matt Sutter obtained by Law&Crime<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The body was that of 55-year-old Enrique Gonzalez-Carbajal, who was in a relationship with Lira at the time, according to authorities. The pair were allegedly dating for roughly two months before the incident. Investigators reportedly determined that Gonzalez-Carbajal had been decapitated with a knife, but they were not sure what kind.<\/p>\n

Police soon learned that Lira “immediately fled to Mexico” after the slaying and began searching for her with help from Mexican authorities, according to a release<\/a> from the Orange County District Attorney’s Office. She was found five months after the murder occurred and was brought back to the United States.<\/p>\n

Lira was arrested and charged with murder and a felony enhancement of personally using a weapon. If she is convicted, she faces a max sentence of 26 years to life.<\/p>\n

“This poor human was brutalized,” Director of Public Affairs Kimberly Edds told Law&Crime. “Hopefully she’ll remain in custody.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ANAHEIM, Calif.
