- gwjc, on 10/12/2007, -3/+35Dude, she killed her, her unborn child, and her three children.. I don't quite see how you balance the right side of that equation with the "eye for an eye" principal. She certainly seems like a prime candidate for capital punishment though.
- 15charmaxwtf, on 10/12/2007, -5/+25Someone hid 3 kids in a fetus.
- Nougat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19If you know any history, you would know that "eye for an eye" was designed to *reduce* punishments. At the time, every punishment was pretty much death, for any offense. Hammurabi made it so that lesser punishments were available.
- dsendecki, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12pseudocyesis (sū'dōsīē'sĭs) Imaginary pregnancy in women usually resulting from a strong desire or need for motherhood. In the absence of conception, the menstrual periods nevertheless cease, the abdomen becomes enlarged and the breasts swell and even secrete milk, mimicking genuine pregnancy. The uterus and cervix may show signs of pregnancy, urine tests may be falsely positive, and the woman may report sensations of fetal movements. A woman may believe in her pregnancy to the point of delusion and show acute depression when no baby is born. It has been suggested that depression can sometimes alter the activity of the pituitary gland so as to cause hormone level changes that mimic the hormone changes of real pregnancy.

A woman knocks out her best friend (since they were in grade school), slices her abdomen open with a pair of scissors, removes a 7 month old fetus, and leaves the woman to bleed to death in an abandoned field. She then proceeds to drown the dead woman's other three kids and leave them in the washer and dryer of the dead woman's home, where the children sat for several days before their location was revealed.
I usually deal with bad news with a touch of humor myself. There is just nothing but shock at how far man has fallen when you hear stories like this. - Alphabet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10It's a standard psychological problem, where a woman wants a baby and the attention so bad that they kill another pregnant woman for it. I forgot what the name of it was called, but the symptoms include a woman claiming to be pregnant eventhough she's not. After awhile, she tries to become friends with a pregnant woman, learn when the other woman is expecting, and then kill her and steal the baby. A similar occurence happened last year.
- evilpig, on 10/12/2007, -5/+14wtf does the title mean?
- Tombs, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11I know there are others out there that must feel this way but as I read this story my heart ached. To know that in this world another human would do this without remorse causes me to feel violently ill.
To me this person is not human.
They are a beast.
A mindless beast which needs to be put down. - Crim, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Whackly, that is disgusting. It's hard enough to read and digest a story as disturbing as this one but I do not come to Digg to hear such barbaric angry filth as your comment. You may think you are being cool, or perhaps you are angry and upset over what you have read, but please think twice before you suggest such horrific acts.
Two wrongs don't make a right, no matter how angry you feel. - TheCheeta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I'm actually happy this story is out. Why sugar-coat how low man has reached? Should we just hear happy-go-lucky stories all day? Maybe the press should just read out of Highlights Magazine.
Another reason I am happy this got out is because it speaks to the absolute horror that East St. Louis is. This country needs to stop hemorraging money to other countries and take care of its domestic issues. - QueenOfSwords, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4This is seriously creepy shiat. IMHO, this has everything to do with the psycho's jealousy of the other woman and not so much to do with baby rabies (the perp wasn't anywhere near menopause and already had two children, whom I feel *very* sorry for).
Hopefully women's prison will be... unpleasant. Being that its full of women who miss *their* kids. - RyanLigon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Here's a follow up from the St Louis Post-Dispatch.

Most note-ably the bodies were found in the washer and dryer of their own home. The authorities had been there to search the house several times and to look for pictures to give to the media, but had apparently not checked the washer and dryer. - TheCheeta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I live across the river from the hellhole known as East St. Louis. It makes most other "depressed" areas of the United States look like Disneyland. Very few people have been able to bring themselves out of that... man, I don't even know how to describe it. People make jokes about it around here, but incidents like this serve to remind us it is no joke. People are suffering in terrible ways over there. Children (those that aren't killed) are being raised in the worst possible conditions.
Let's just go ahead and keep sending money and aid to other countries while we cannot even take care of our own people. Great thinking.
If anyone questions the absolute depravity of mankind, just read stories like this. Just sad. - StatusQuoRules, on 10/12/2007, -5/+8Yup. in the slowest, most painful way possible.
- Kajico, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3But we do help our own people, billions of dollars a year go into social programs, our paychecks tax deductions go to help fundd those programs. It's not the lack of programs to aide people, it's the lack of regulation of those programs.
there is far too much abuse of such benefits and those who really need it don't get it, and then there are those who do get it and it is all that they can depend on. - mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4If only good news were broadcast Americans would only be seeing one side of the world. Move to North Korea if you want that.
- Kosterfield, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Now I can agree to a French prision instead of the death sentence here. They are just miserable in treatment of their prisoners. She would literally rot in her cell which would be the perfect application of a life sentence and death sentence at the same time. I guess the French are good for something...
- JustinCase18, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2People who read about monsters like this and sympathize with them are the ones who need psychiatric help.
- JustinCase18, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Two problems with that. In the United States, prison is a country club, especially for those in a depressed area. The other is that anyone in prison is always eligible for release after a media campaign and a weak willed politician.
In Texas, we had a woman who would seduce men and have sex with their corpses. She lured them with an innocent look and a bible. Ironically when it came time for her execution, the media used that same bible to call for her release. She had "found God." The real truth was that she was an attractive woman and made for good ratings. - TheMikey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Well, being Canadian I've grown up without Capital Punishment in the system and I personally don't agree with it. While she is a prime example for the need, I would prefer handing down a sentence where she will not see daylight for the rest of her life. Just lead her into the prison and let her rot in her cell.
- WackyT, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4She definitely deserves something that will stop her lifeline.
- JustinCase18, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Mental illness aside, she planned this thing out and went out of her way to not only murder her friend, but her friend's kids. This is a sickness that presents a danger to society. Anyone who intentionally murders a child needs to be put down. Period. If society isn't willing to protect its children, then it definitely isn't "civilized".
Something is happening here. We didn't have these problems years ago, now all of a sudden, it's becoming common. Could it be because we're showing sympathy to these women? In Texas, we have, it seems like, dozens of kids cooked to death in their cars because they've been forgotten by their parents. When it's "Mom", the ruling is that she's suffered already and she gets probation. "Dad" immediately begins serving for manslaughter and is considered a flight risk. And let's not even start with the double standard on statutory rapists.
If this was a man killing his ex-wife or girlfriend and kidnapping his kids, we'd hear nothing, but what a monster he is. Why are there some who want to sympathize with this piece of garbage, who is nothing more than a sick monster? - LavaHot, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4You're sick whackly, to do that would be commiting so many crimes that to do so would nullify the case against her.
1. who would screw her, let alone rape her?
2. who would ever want her to have a baby.
3. depending on what state she's in it may be illegal to perform an abortion, let alone an unnecessary involuntary one. - everfalling, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2How anyone could be brought to the point where they think this is something they think is right is beyond me. humans never cease to amaze me on how cruel they can be to each other.
- scoobydiesel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Yeah this is sick...and wrong on so many levels...I hope they show her get the chair so something cool on PPV...wait that's kinda sick too
- WackyT, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3DELETED
- Simucal, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I live in Ofallon, only 15-20 minutes from St. Louis. Last year my friends wanted to go to "The Darkness", one of the better haunted houses in the midwest. It is in east St. Louis but I really didnt think anything would happen. While we were inside of the haunted house one of our cars was broken into and another was keyed. Now we are debating whether or not to go back there this year.
But really, any city that is used to film the movie "Escape From New York" to represent the prison-state post apocalypse hell hole has got to be bad. - cnwb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@JustinCase18 - Sorry, I am teh fool. I misread your comment vis-a-vis your assertion that I need psychiatric help. Lesson learnt - don't comment before coffee :)
Still, I stand by my original point. - Ipexx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Give that thing Death. How can that thing help this planet as whole. The thing stole alot life.
- Rounin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Unless she knows God, He will pass judgement on this woman far more harshly than man could ever dream.
- stubbyperson77, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3@Lavahot
I agree she is probably mentally. But it would be kinda stupid to wait until a baby is born. Stick it in your uterous. And fake a pregnancy afterwards. - nerdyartist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0There is seriously something ***** up with the StL area today.
Two baby thefts in a few weeks, and another woman on trial for the same thing.
I really, really need to move. - Barbrady, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2She should be tortured to death. I hope what's left of her life is as miserable as possible.
- cnwb, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1It seems pretty obvious that she's not mentally stable. Are you implying that mentally unstable people are too difficult to deal with, and should just be disposed of? Oh, and thanks for suggesting that I be put to death - it really brightened my morning.
- Klisk, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4It's all about ratings.
- LavaHot, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3Well the woman is obviously mentally ill. No sane person would do this. A sane person would wait until the baby was born.
- Armando57, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0The only people Texans like to execute is blacks and Mexicans.
- GoodBrain, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3What would torturing her to death accomplish? Would it make you feel better? Why?
- EmperorPsiblade, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1This is just sick...
I mean wtf, was having her own child too boring? She had to cut out a live fetus? - jlcotton1968, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1It's kind of how I felt when I first read about what slave masters did to slaves during slavery.
- cnwb, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0The woman needs psychiatric help, not a death sentence.
- LavaHot, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1You're sick whackly
- DeusMachinae, on 10/12/2007, -10/+1Let the dead baby jokes begin!
- CanceledCzech, on 10/12/2007, -14/+5Ugh, I hate these stories. What's worse is the media's habit to habitually broadcast these lurid stories.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -11/+15 mindless beasts down 1 more to go :)
- Whackly, on 10/12/2007, -19/+1Pseudocyesis with involuntary narcissistic rage...
The punishment should reflect the crime. Prison guards should knock her up. Then, when she begins to show they give her the old "South Dakota Hanger Banger." Then they sew her back up and start over. - just1moredigger, on 10/12/2007, -40/+4If there was ever a time when "An eye for an eye" was appropriate...
This is it!
