Pregnant Mom Found Beaten to Death in Shopping Cart; Suspect Arrested

U.S. Marshals in Nevada arrested a man last month for killing a woman who was found dead in Iowa in February.

A news report from The Gazette mentioned that Brittany Hopkins, age 38, was discovered deceased in a shopping cart in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on February 28. Hopkins, who was pregnant, was wrapped in a blanket secured with electrical tape and concealed under piles of trash.

An autopsy determined Hopkins died from blunt force head trauma.

Following the identification of Hopkins as the victim, information surfaced suggesting that Donnie White, age 51, had been in the company of Hopkins in the days leading up to her demise. One individual informed law enforcement that White was seen attacking Hopkins on February 26 — just two days before her body was found.

White purportedly resides in close proximity to where Hopkins’ remains were located. Furthermore, authorities noted the presence of markings in White’s apartment building that extended outdoors and bore resemblance to patterns made by shopping cart wheels rubbing against the carpet.

A day before Hopkins’ body was discovered, surveillance cameras from a nearby building showed an empty shopping cart being pushed up to White’s apartment building. Fifteen minutes later, the shopping cart — now full — was pushed to the area where Hopkins’ body was located the following day.

According to The Gazette, a search of White’s apartment uncovered a hammer covered with blood and hair and a broken CO2 air pistol which was also covered with blood and hair. Police said they also discovered White’s bloody handprint on a wall, in addition to bleach, scuff, and drag marks on the carpet.

On March 19, U.S. Marshals apprehended White in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was extradited to Iowa, where he is charged with first-degree murder and nonconsensual termination of pregnancy.

White remains jailed on $2.5 million bail.
