Woman Charged in Pregnant Neighbor Attack
ABC News: Woman Charged in Pregnant Neighbor Attack: "PITTSBURGH Oct 13, 2005 — A woman clubbed her pregnant neighbor over the head with a baseball bat, drove her to the woods and cut her belly with a razor knife in an attempt to steal her baby, police say.
Police said Wednesday's attack on Valerie Oskin was stopped before her baby was taken after a teenager on an all-terrain vehicle came across the women.
Oskin, 30, later underwent an emergency Caesarean section at a hospital. State police Thursday said she was in critical condition and her baby in stable condition. She was believed to have been in her third trimester of pregnancy, authorities said. Peggy Jo Conner, 38, of Ford City, was arraigned Thursday on charges of attempted homicide and aggravated assault and was jailed without bail.
Conner had told her live-in partner before the attack that she was pregnant, and investigators found baby-related items in her trailer, Armstrong County District Attorney Scott Andreassi said.
"Clearly, she was expecting a child coming in shortly," Andreassi said. "There's nothing to indicate she was pregnant."..."
This is really disturbing...what I want to know is what the women was think trying to cut her open to steal her baby??? That just does not make any sense. But for her to want to do some thing like that she can not be to bright.
