Breana Rouhselang had been one of the managers for the football team, a spokeswoman for Mishawaka Schools said.
The discovery of Rouhselang's body came after her mother reported her missing early Sunday, Detective Gery Mullins of St. Joseph County Metro Police wrote in the affidavit. The girl's mother told police that her daughter, who was six months pregnant, had gone to talk to the father of her unborn child, Trejo, around 11 p.m. EST Saturday.
Breana Rouhselang, 17, of Mishawaka, Indiana, was found dead Dec. 9, 2018.

When Rouhselang didn't return after several hours, her mother became concerned. She went to Trejo's home at around 1 a.m. and asked about Rouhselang.
Trejo told her that he went to the alley behind the girl's home to talk to her, but she never showed up, according to court documents.
Officers went to the alley and found glasses and a stocking cap, two items that Rouhselang's mother described as her daughter's. The stocking cap appeared to have blood on it.
They soon found Rouhselang's body in a dumpster. A black plastic garbage bag had been placed over her head and torso, according to the affidavit.
When detectives questioned Trejo at the police station, he maintained that he was supposed to meet up with Rouhselang but she never showed up, Mullins wrote in the affidavit.
But when Mullins asked about the pregnancy, Trejo acknowledged that they fought over it, the detective said in court documents. Trejo told him that Rouhselang waited too long to tell him about the pregnancy to get an abortion, the affidavit stated.
So he "took action," Trejo allegedly said.
