LONGMONT - A 34-year-old woman was arrested Wednesday after Longmont police say she attacked a woman who was seven months pregnant and cut the victim's unborn baby from out of her womb. The baby died, but the victim is expected to survive.
Longmont police Cmdr. Jeff Satur said the suspect later showed up at an area hospital with the deceased baby, claiming a miscarriage. Satur said the suspect's husband drove the suspect to the emergency room, thinking the child was alive. He said the husband is not considered a suspect.
The ambush happened around 2 p.m. Wednesday at the suspect's home in the 1600 block of Green Place in Longmont. Satur said the suspect and the 26-year-old victim did not know each other prior to this incident. The victim was responding to a Craigslist ad for baby clothes and came alone to the suspect's home.
"We've made some requests of Craigslist to try to freeze that account," Satur said. "At this point, we don't want to give away too much, because we don't want it removed."
Police said the victim had been beaten and stabbed in the stomach before the suspect allegedly removed the unborn child. When officers arrived on scene at the Green Place home, they could hear the mother calling for help from inside the house. She was taken to the Longmont United Hospital and underwent surgery. She is expected to recover.
