SKIDMORE, Missouri, December 17, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - An Amber Alert was issued for an abducted 8-month-gestation baby, cut from the mother’s womb after she was murdered. Police suspected the murderer abducted the child. Nodaway County Sheriff Ben Espey issued the Amber Alert, reporting that the mother, Bobbi Jo Stinnett, was murdered at approximately three p.m. Thursday. She was pregnant with an eight-month-old white female unborn child. Police suspected the baby girl was still living and asked citizens to keep a lookout for her.
The Amber Alert appears to have been successful. AP reported Friday that “A baby girl who apparently was cut from her mother’s womb was found in good health Friday”. Two people are being questioned. Sheriff Espey says authorities are awaiting DNA testing to confirm that the newborn is the child of the murdered woman. The baby was found in Kansas. “It’s about as good as we can get, people,” AP reports Espey said at a new conference. tv
