A California stripper, accused of decapitating her boyfriend and leaving his headless body inside her home, has been extradited from Mexico.
Alyssa Marie Lira, 23, is back in Southern California after her capture in Mexico — nearly five months after she allegedly decapitated 55-year-old Enrique Gonzalez-Carbajal.
The man’s body was discovered inside Lira’s Anaheim home.
Homicide detectives had identified Lira as their main suspect and learned she had fled to Mexico.
The couple had been dating for about two months and met while she was working as an exotic dancer at a local strip club, according to the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.
Local police worked with the FBI and Mexican officials to locate and apprehend the 23-year-old.
She was taken into custody Jan. 22 and turned over to Anaheim police homicide detectives the next day at the San Ysidro Port of Entry.
Lira faces one count of murder with a felony enhancement for using a weapon.
If convicted on all counts, she could serve a maximum sentence of 26 years to life.
She’s scheduled to be arraigned on February 13 and is currently being held at the Orange County Jail without bail.
