SKIDMORE, Mo. -- A 23-year-old woman who was eight months pregnant was killed Thursday and the fetus was taken from her body, authorities said.

Stinnett home in Skidmore, Mo.

Sheriff's deputies were investigating the afternoon killing of the woman and they were searching for the baby, who they believed could have survived.

Nodaway County Sheriff Bill Espey said, "Someone was wanting a baby awful bad."

The sheriff issued an Amber Alert for the missing fetus. Police are searching for an 8-month-old white, female fetus. It 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."

Bobbi Jo Stinnett was killed around 3 p.m. Central, and "the unborn child was removed from her body by the person or persons who committed the crime."

Stinett was found inside her home by her mother, who called police at 3:38 p.m., authorities said. Paramedics tried to revive her; she was later pronounced dead at St. Francis Hospital in Maryville, Mo.

Skidmore was famous a few years ago for a bully who met an untimely end.

60 Minutes even did a segment on the episode.

she could have been having an affair or possibly raped by the perpetrator.

What a horror story! And this is not the first such case. I seem to remember another this year.

[TASMANIANRED]

There was a case like this in the Midwest a few years ago. They wanted the baby.

[TASMANIANRED]

I don't think breathing is the cut line.

Mother wants it =baby
Mother doesn't want it=fetus.

Yuk! Yuk! Yuk: I was just listening to the radio news and Scott Peterson's jailers say he remains a model prisoner in spite of being sentenced to death. They said he gets 100s of letters from well wishers. He is even helpful. He still has to be handcuffed when being moved from one place to another and he will roll and turn his body to help out. He is cheerfull.

I suppose Gregaros will say "If you find the baby snatcher in MO. you will have found the murderer's of Laci and Conner." "This cult just moved on to another state."

P.S. I heard something about Amber Frey on Inside Edition last night. It went by so fast but it appears she is going to be on some program.
