To all those who posted these comments on an earlier thread.
No it was not a satanic cult. No it was not lesbian feminist. No it was not Aliens.
It was a deranged mother who had lost her baby. Hid it from her husband and others (How this could be done is unknown). She premeditated the abduction of anothers mothers baby. Even to the point of murder.
It is a sad story. I hope the press keeps covering the story so that we can learn from her story and so we can make sure justice is done for Bobbie Jo Stinnett and the family she left behind.
This is not the first time this has happened, either. There was another case in Ohio a few years ago. The case was very similar. I'll look and see if I can find it. Maybe someone else has info.
Maybe it is good that this woman hasn't been able to breed so far.
Boy, imagine if the article posted stated "she showed the baby to her Imam"......this thread would have about 500 gleeful posts on it by now....
The article I read stated a lot of the people who saw the baby were surprised that the baby was a newborn, because her head was not misshapen -- as vaginal birth babies are. Not to nitpick, but it seems to be a common misconception. My dad once said the good thing about me being born c-section was that my head was round. I have delivered five babies normally. They were all born with big round heads.
What the perp did was absolutely disgusting! I feel so sorry for the baby's mother and family. Hope the perp gets the maximum.

Friend of alleged killer, victim speaks to Forum
By MATT KELSEY
Forum Managing Editor
A man who was friends with both Bobbie Jo Stinnett and her alleged killer says Stinnett was a kind and gentle person and Lisa Montgomery was not to be trusted.
The man agreed to speak exclusively to the Forum on condition of anonymity. He is a rat terrier breeder, just like Stinnett and Montgomery, and spoke frequently to both of them over the Internet.
Montgomery is charged with killing Stinnett and cutting open her womb to steal the eight-month-old fetus.
"I host an internet community online about rat terrier breeding," the man said, "and I met them both through that a couple years ago.
The man said the people who chatted through the Web site frequently would often share personal information without thinking of any possible consequences.
"Over time, people would say, 'Hey, I'm pregnant,' and they share that personal information," he said.
So the man was not surprised when, several months ago, both Stinnett and Montgomery announced, within a few days of each other, that they were pregnant.
After meeting Montgomery, the man said they often had business relationships breeding their dogs, and on occasion Montgomery would "just lie to my face for no particular reason," he said.
"Lisa, in my dealings with her, was not all there mentally... I just knew she wasn't right. I just kind of steered clear of her."
The man said Montgomery had four or five children with two ex-husbands, but had a strong desire to have another child with her current husband.
"She had really wanted a baby really bad," the man said.
Although he did not trust Montgomery, the man said Stinnett was a different story. He had spoken with her over the Internet two days before the murder.
"She was a person that had no enemies," the man said. "One of the sweetest young ladies I've met."
The man said the two women knew each other well.
"Lisa and Bobbie would go to dog shows together and compete against one another," he said.
Chillingly, the man said Montgomery had posted a week ago on the Internet site that "she was going to have her baby on Thursday," the day of the murder. He believes this indicates a certain level of premeditation.
"I can't even fathom this," the man said, "and for me to know both of them... it just blows my mind."
The man said Stinnett would have been familiar with Montgomery, and would not have hesitated to let her in.
"If Lisa showed up at my house, I'd let her in the door because I know her," the man said.
People say she must be insane but a huge amount of premeditation went into this. I hope they fry her.
