Abducted Baby Cut from Murdered Mother's Womb Found; Woman Charged

TOPEKA, Kansas, December 20, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The baby girl cut from her mother's womb while her mother was strangled Thursday has been reunited with her father. The baby is under observation in a hospital in Topeka, but in good health. The girl's father, Zebulon Stinnett, said she was "a miracle," according to a Reuters report.

Lisa Montgomery, 36, of Kansas, has admitted to the murder of the baby's mother, Bobbie Jo Stinnett, and abduction of the child. Montgomery, a mother of two, told her husband she had given birth to another child.

US District Attorney for Western Missouri, Todd Graves, told ABC's Good Morning America: "She had ... called her husband, we allege in the complaint, and told him that she had a baby in Topeka. She was at Long John Silver's (restaurant) in Topeka, he should come and meet her. He went to meet her; there was a baby; they took it home."
