Bond is set at $12 million dollars for a Dolton man charged with the murder of his ex-girlfriend.
Terrence Coulter, 33, is charged with first degree murder in the death of Dana Hayes, 35.
Hayes' body was found March 23 in a wooded area in Thorton. She was beaten to death.
Hayes was last seen alive by her family January 25 after she dropped her son off at Richmond East High School. According to the Cook County State's Attorneys office, on that same day, Hayes and Coulter were seen at a South Holland motel and that is where she was killed.
It is not clear if Hayes had gone to the hotel voluntarily.
Coulter had been scheduled to go on trial for stabbing Hayes more than a dozen times in 2007. She also had an order of protection taken out against him since he was free on bond while awaiting trial.
On January 29, police searched Coulter's home and recovered a gun. He's been jailed on a felony weapons charge ever since.
