Former Colorado Springs mayoral candidate accused of drugging new mom with cupcake, trying to steal baby

A Washington state woman who unsuccessfully ran for mayor of Colorado Springs in 2019 has been accused of trying to kidnap a three-week-old baby. The 38-year-old who, according to authorities went by several aliases, was released on a $50,000 bond and is expected to be arraigned Tuesday.

Juliette Parker and her teenage daughter are suspected of posing as photographers and drugging a new mother to try and steal her infant. Parker was released Sunday afternoon on a $50,000 bond, reports CBS News' Carter Evans.

Since her arrest, authorities tell CBS News more than 10 people say Parker came to their homes to take photos. Investigators believe she was searching for the baby she wanted to steal.

Authorities say Parker used social media to lure in unsuspecting moms, offering free maternity and newborn photos. She said she wanted to build her portfolio, but detectives allege her real motive was much more sinister.

"She wanted a girl," said Ed Troyer of the Pierce County Sheriff's Department. "She wanted them five weeks and younger so she could raise it herself, take it out of state and pretend it was a newborn of her own."

A mom in Washington state answered the post, inviting Parker into her home three times. Police said the woman spotted Parker taking selfies with the baby and wiping down her fingerprints from items she touched inside the home.

During the third visit, authorities said Parker and her 16-year-old daughter gave the woman a cupcake. The mom suddenly began vomiting and feeling numb and drowsy. She ordered the two to leave and called 911, only to realize her house keys were stolen.

"Basically she was drugged," said Troyer. "They put drugs in a cupcake, she ate it, and they attempted to take her kid."

They run as non-partisan in Colorado Springs. She ran against the incumbent Republican Mayor, but didn’t specify party label.

Is it just me, or are more and more psychopaths attracted to politics and government now?

Those eyebrows alone would make me wonder about her.

Terrifying.
Word to the wise: Any “photographer” who seeks out children is automatically suspect.

I suspect the answer is no, we're merely just now starting to catch on...

Drugged a woman and stole her baby, man they’re going to lock this guy up in supermax and throw away the .... wait, it’s a woman? A white woman? Hmmm. Well in that case, probably probation.

Many years ago the Christian corps promoted legislation to prohibit homosexuals from asking for special protections in various legal actions. It became law, but was later thrown out because you could not prohibit somebody from asking for something. I think the Tebedo family was at the center of this IIRC.

That excited the homo movement, they started organizing people to move to COS to combat the groups like Focus on the Family and the Air Force Academy conservatives. Now COS is a mix of military and religious on one side, and the tatted/pierced perv liberals on the other, ones who make most of the SoCalifornia crowd look tame in comparison.

I watched the change when I lived there. Now, in my visits, I am amazed at the drift away from normal. It’s a crazy mix there. This mayoral candidate doesn’t surprise me. Watch how the Colorado Springs Independent treats her.

Sounds like one of these:

Paint me green and call me a cucumber.
Slap me with bread and call me a sandwich.
Pin my tail and call me a donkey.
Fry me in butter and call me a catfish.
Saddle my back and call me a horse!
Well knock me down and steal my teeth!

Well, drug me with a cupcake and steal my baby.
