Tamika Chesser, 34, a former contestant on Beauty and the Geek, stands accused of murdering her partner, Julian Story, 39, in June.

Currently held at James Nash House, a forensic mental health facility, Chesser is reportedly pregnant and expected to give birth early next year.

It is unclear who the father is, and it was confirmed she did not become pregnant while incarcerated.
Chesser faces multiple charges, including murder and interfering with human remains. Her legal proceedings are ongoing, with her first court appearance set for December. The community has been rocked by the alleged crimes, described as 'very unique' and 'egregious' by the state's Premier.
