SKIDMORE, Mo. -- A 23-year-old woman who was eight months pregnant was killed Thursday and the fetus was taken from her body, authorities said.
Sheriff's deputies were investigating the afternoon killing of the woman and they were searching for the baby, who they believed could have survived.
Nodaway County Sheriff Bill Espey said, "Someone was wanting a baby awful bad."
The sheriff issued an Amber Alert for the missing fetus. Police are searching for an 8-month-old white, female fetus. It also suggested that things to look for in the case included "bloody clothing or towels, possible health issues with the fetus and a freshly cut umbilical cord."
Authorities said the woman was white, but offered no further identification. They said a family member found the woman dead inside the home.
CNN reported that Bobbi Jo Stinnett was killed around 3 p.m. Central, and "the unborn child was removed from her body by the person or persons who committed the crime."
This was the woman's first child. Her husband is not a suspect because he was at work at the time. Neighbors describe the couple as "quiet."
The woman was a dog breeder and reportedly sold Jack Russell terrier dogs over the Internet. One neighbor said he saw a red two-door vehicle outside the home and assumed it was someone picking up a dog. Police are now searching for a red vehicle and have only a vague description of the suspect -- someone with blonde hair.

I can't believe it! If a woman is that depreaste to have a baby, why not adopt a baby? If she can't afford it then why not go to a sperm bank to get pregnant??? Geesh it upsets me so bad. makes me think that I should hide my whole pregnancy next time so they wouldnt steal my baby!!! Now that we have Nathan, we are extra careful and have a eye like an hawk on him because I don't want NO ONE to steal nor harm my precious one!!!!
