Woman murdered for unborn child
This story is such a horrible one and again brought to mind the Scott Peterson trial. Another pregnant woman killed, but with a twist, the baby was stolen this time. I wanted to blog on the Lacy Peterson trial, but never did. I did not have alot of time to devote to it and was unable listen to the trial transcripts. I did a little research on the case and when I heard about the death of Bobbie Joe Stinnett, it struck a chord. I recalled reading about other pregnant women murdered and in some cases their babies stolen.
The first story listed is about Bobbie Joe Stinnett, the other two about similar cases. There are others out there as well.
Mom killed, baby cut from her womb. MARYVILLE, Mo. - "A woman was charged Friday with killing a pregnant woman and kidnapping the baby that was cut from her womb. Authorities found the infant in good health, ending a day of frantic searching."
And in 1996 Kimmi Hardy, murdered Teresa Lund in a similar fashion, "The State's theory was that Hardy faked a pregnancy, befriended the pregnant victim, Teresa Lund, murdered her several months after Lund's baby was born and took the baby, Paul, to raise, representing to others that Paul was born to her. Hardy claimed she purchased Paul for $1,500 and two guns from Anthony Matrona. She said Matrona sent two men to her home with the child and she left them alone there for an hour. She said Lund's body was then put in a crawl space under the Hardy home, but she did not learn of this until the next day."
And yet again, another similar story. In July 1987, Darci Pierce abducted an eight-months pregnant Cindy Ray. Pierce took Ray to the East Mountains and used a key to remove the infant from Ray's womb. Ray died, and the child survived. A jury rejected Pierce's insanity defense, and she was sentenced to life in prison.
