Another Attempted Murder for Baby.
Katherine Smith, 22, had been telling neighbors for weeks she was pregnant. A search of her apartment revealed a nursery full of baby items. She was not pregnant.
26 year old Sarah Brady, 9 months pregnant got a call on Tuesday. A woman on the phone told her a package for Sarah had mistakenly been delivered at her house. The same woman called the next day and stated that yet another package had been delivered for Brady. The woman on the phone was Katherine Smith. Sarah Brady went to Katherine Smith's apartment on Thursday.
When Sarah got to Katherine Smith's apartment, she became suspicious when she saw a document with Smiths name on it. She had been using an alias in her prior conversations. At some point during the visit, some reports state it happened when Smith asked Brady for a hug before she left, Smith attacked Sarah.
``Katie reached into her pocket, pulled out this knife that was already open, put it in the overhand thrust position and attacked her with it,'' Loos said. ``Sarah was able to make it out into the hallway, but Katie reached out, grabbed her by the hair, and pulled her back in.''
During the struggle, Sarah was able to get the knife away from Smith. She stabbed Smith several times before running out of the apartment to flag down a motorist for help. Smith called 911. She bled to death before the paramedics arrived.
Smith had previously worked as a Nanny but lost that job shortly after Thanksgiving when her employer began to doubt she was really pregnant. On her body, police found ultra sound pictures of someone elses twins she had been telling people they were hers and had died at birth. Officials state they were someone elses pictures not hers.
There have been several cases in the news lately about women being killed for their unborn. Thankfully Sarah Smith was not one of them.
