I saw this on Sky News last night, I'm sickened and saddened that something like this could happen. My thoughts and prayers go to this Lady's family. I cant even imagine what they are going through right now.
From what the News said last night this is not the first instance of this kind of crime.
Has the Child been found yet? If this poor child is found lets hope he/she is alive as the Police said there was a good chance it was.

EDIT: It looks like they found the baby, thank God for that.

The article stated:

The Nordaway County Sheriff's Department in Northwest Missouri said the baby was found on Friday in the neighboring state of Kansas, about 24 hours after the murder. Tests were being conducted to confirm the infant's identity.

So as you can see, it seems the child is indeed alive and if tests are being done, I assume the newborn is also stable.

This of course is good news, the baby has survived. However, considering the rest of the story, it's certainly doesn't seem like much of a happy ending.

Not realy a happy ending considering the mother was murdered maby just the best ending that could have been hoped for.

All I can think of is the legacy this child will have to live with.
What a horrid way to come into the world!
If I was the father, I would consider not telling the child
ever what happened, and make up something so it wouldn't
cause further trauma to her.

As for the murderer/child snatcher, I think she should get the
death penalty.

The FBI just caught the lady that did this, was just on the news. She did it to get the baby, how sick.

Give her the death penalty. Is the media just covering stories like this more or are there just more sick people doing sick things more often?
