Authorities Dec. 17 arrested a woman they allege went to the home of an eight-months-pregnant woman -- purportedly to buy a dog -- then strangled her and cut the baby from her womb.
Authorities found the abducted infant in good health, ending a day of frantic searching.
According to a criminal complaint, Lisa M. Montgomery admitted she strangled Bobbi Jo Stinnett in her Skidmore, Missouri, home and took her baby.
Montgomery, a mother of two, had been pregnant but lost the child, U.S. Attorney Todd Graves said. The complaint also said Montgomery lied to her husband about giving birth.
