Please Pray for this Missouri Family..
December 17, 2004
SKIDMORE, Mo. -- Authorities looking for an infant cut from the womb of its mother expanded their search outside of Missouri on Friday as they maintained hope the baby might still be alive. The search for the baby started after a 23-year-old woman who was 8 months pregnant was killed Thursday and the fetus was taken from her body, authorities said. Sheriff's deputies were investigating the afternoon killing of Bobbi Jo Stinnett and they were searching for the baby, who they believe could have survived."The doctors who examined Bobbi Jo gave us information indicating we probably would have a live child if we could find it," Nodaway County Sheriff Ben Espey said Friday. "The child would be in danger because of being one month premature." "Someone was wanting a baby awful bad," Espey said earlier. The sheriff issued an Amber Alert for the missing baby. Police are searching for a white, female baby. The report also suggested that things to look for in the case included "bloody clothing or towels, possible health issues with the fetus and a freshly cut umbilical cord."
Stinnett was killed at about 3 p.m. CST, and "the unborn child was removed from her body by the person or persons who committed the crime." Stinett's mother, who called police at 3:38 p.m., found her strangled to death inside her home, Kansas City, Mo., TV station KMBC reported. Paramedics tried to revive her, but she was later pronounced dead at St. Francis Hospital in Maryville, Mo. Espey said it appeared the victim was killed no more than an hour before she was found. He said the woman may have struggled with her killer and that blonde hair was found in Stinnett's hand. An autopsy was to be conducted by the Jackson County medical examiner.
There were no visible signs of forced entry into her small home, Espey said. Stinnett was a dog breeder and reportedly sold Jack Russell terrier dogs over the Internet. One neighbor said he saw a red, two-door vehicle outside the home and assumed it was someone picking up a dog. Apparently, someone was coming to look at one of the dogs Thursday afternoon." At 2:30 p.m., the mother called her daughter to have her come and get her at work and there were also some people from Fairfax that were going to come and look at a dog, and that's what that conversation was going to end up being about. 'They're here, mom to look at this dog,'" Espey said at a news conference Friday.
Espey offered piecemeal information about the victim. She was white, worked at Kawasaki Motors Manufacturing in Maryville, was married a little more than a year and was pregnant with her first child.The husband has been ruled out as a suspect because he was at work at the time. Espey said FBI agents were helping to investigate the case. Espey said they are following up on one particular lead -- a woman out-of-state who came home with a baby that was not from a hospital. Espey would not identify the state. He said detectives were headed to that location.
This evening's news (Also December 17, 2004) said they had found the baby alive and healthy in Kansas. They said they were "pretty sure" it was the same baby "pending DNA testing". They have 2 people in custody for questioning. Wonder what happened to the 3rd person? Anybody who could do something like this is Sick with a Capital S.. not the kind of sick that can be helped by any kind of doctor, but sick & dangerous, like rabid dogs.
I feel so sorry for her husband and the rest of her family. I hope this baby will be okay.. Please pray for this family.
