Associated Press Woman's Fetus Apparently Cut From Womb By JEFF DOUGLAS , 09.22.2006, 11:27 AM
The body of a woman who apparently had a fetus cut from her womb was found in a vacant lot, and police said Friday they had captured a woman in the case.
State police said a 26-year-old woman, whom they described as a person of interest, had buried a baby Thursday that she said had been stillborn, East St. Louis Police Chief James Mister told the Belleville News-Democrat.
An autopsy will be performed on the baby Friday to determine if it was removed from the dead woman's womb, Mister said.
The 26-year-old woman's boyfriend told officials that she had confessed to him during the funeral that the baby wasn't his and that she'd killed a woman and taken her baby, Mister said.
Police found the body in the lot soon afterward.
Authorities declined to say Friday whether there was any connection between the two women, whose names were not immediately released. The boyfriend, who also was not identified by name, is a sailor home on leave, according to the News-Democrat.
The East St. Louis case is the area's second recent case involving babies.
A 36-year-old woman is accused of slashing a young mother's throat and kidnapping her baby on Sept. 15. The baby was found in good condition four days later.
Another woman is to stand trial next April in the abduction of an unborn girl taken from the womb of Bobbie Jo Stinnett in December 2004 in Skidmore, Mo. The baby survived.
