The death of a girl whose body was found in a duffel bag in Hacienda Heights is hitting close to home for other families who've lost their own children.

LOS ANGELES -- The boyfriend of a slain child's mother is expected to be charged in connection with the death of the girl, whose body was found in a duffel bag in Hacienda Heights.

Detectives working on the case said charges are expected to be filed on Tuesday against Emiel Hunt.

Hunt is currently being held on $2 million bail.

Trinity Love Jones's body was found inside a duffel bag last week, dumped near a horse trail in Hacienda Heights.

Two people of interest were detained in the case, which was described by sheriff's officials as a homicide investigation.
