The Foetus Snatcher (1x3)

: 06, 2005

Last December in Missouri, heavily pregnant Bobbie Jo Stinnett was strangled and her eight-month-old foetus was cut from her with a kitchen knife. Lisa Montgomery was accused of Bobbie's murder and is currently awaiting trial. If convicted she could face the death penalty. But Montgomery is not the first woman to be accused of such a murder; over the last 15 years a dozen women have committed this heinous crime. This film tells the devastating stories of Lisa and two other women who murdered their heavily pregnant victims, cut the foetuses from their wombs and took the babies home as their own. Chilling home video footage shows Michelle Bica with the baby she had killed to steal. While investigators recount the critical race to find the surviving newborns, forensic psychiatrists and profilers address the big question of why these women did it.
