Police Say Woman Killed Pregnant Mom, Cut Baby From Abdomen

Police say Kathy Michelle Coy told a 21-year-old pregnant friend in Kentucky that they were shopping for baby supplies. Instead, Coy took Jamie Stice to a wooded area, subdued her with a stun gun, and cut out her baby from her abdomen.

Detective Chad Winn shared the details of the grim story with a local court during a preliminary hearing where Coy faces charges of murder and kidnapping a minor. Winn told the court that, after attacking Stice with the gun, Coy slit Stice’s throat and wrists and cut open her stomach to be able to gain access to her baby.

“She advised that she stunned her, her throat was slit, her wrists were slit, she was disemboweled,” Winn said, according to an AP report. “The baby was obviously cut out of her.”

Stice’s family was unable to remain in the courtroom and they left in tears as the details of the grisly murder were presented. Winn, according to AP, said Coy eventually showed officials the wooded area where she left Stice’s body. Coy was eventually arrested after showing up at a Bowling Green hospital with the newborn but presenting no signs sowing she had given birth recently.

Warren County District Judge Sam Potter has sent the case to a grand jury but Coy’s public defender, Jim Gibson, said he opposed allowing the hearing because he claims Coy’s mental state is not sufficient to allow her to stand trial.

“The defense is concerned that there are significant mental health issues,” Gibson said, according to AP. Warren County Commonwealth’s Attorney Chris Cohron says he may seek the death penalty for Coy, but he is waiting to make that determination until the mental health issues are resolved.

James Reynolds, the baby’s father, told AP the infant is in good condition but would not give additional details.

Coy reportedly asked her 13-year-old daughter and 14-year-old son to take part in the murder and stealing the unborn child but both refused. When Coy arrived at the hospital with Stice’s newborn, she claimed she had had a miscarriage.

This kind of case is not unique and, in December 2009, a woman near the nation’s capital was arrested in a chilling case that saw her capture a pregnant woman and hold her captive for days in her apartment. Eventually, Veronica D. Deramous used a box cutter to cut open the pregnant woman’s stomach and attempt to take her unborn child.

Deramous kept the pregnant woman in her Suitland, Maryland home and provided her with food and water until she should get what she really wanted, the mother’s child. Deramous turned up the volume of her television and duct-tapped a rag inside the mother’s mouth.

“You’re strong,” Deramous told her victim, police said in a report on the brutal crime. “You can handle what I’m going to do to you.”

With box cutters and a razor blade, Deramous cut into the 29-year-old homeless woman’s stomach and attempted to take the child. Unsuccessful, she went to sleep and then fled her home later when the woman escaped and alerted neighbors. The woman was able to eventually flee the apartment and her insides were still exposed when she presented herself to medical personnel. The baby, a girl whom the mother plans to name Miracle, survived the attack.

In 2006, an Illinois woman stood accused of killing a pregnant mother and cutting her unborn baby from her womb. Prosecutors said then-24 year-old Tiffany Hall killed Jimella Tunstall, who was seven months pregnant at the time, and her three children. Hall was charged with both first degree murder, in Tunstall’s death and intentional homicide of an unborn child.

MILWAUKEE, WI – A woman in Milwaukee has been arrested and accused of cutting the baby out of a pregnant woman, killing them both.

Annette Morales-Rodriguez, 33, called 911 saying she’d just given birth to a baby in her living room and that the baby wasn’t breathing. When officers arrived they found the full-term baby boy dead. Both Rodriguez and her dead son were taken to the hospital.

An autopsy was performed on the baby on Friday, the deputy medical examiner revealing the baby had not been born naturally as the uterus was still attached to the baby as were parts of ovaries. His findings were that the infant had been cut out by force and died because his mother had died.

Since Rodriguez was very much alive, having walked out of the hospital after refusing to be examined, police brought her back for a medical exam, which would show she’d not given birth, and then to the police station for an interview. It’s then they would learn the horrifying, sickening truth about the dead baby and the fate of the baby’s real mother.

Rodriguez explained that her boyfriend was desperate for a son, but that she was unable to have children. So she lied and told him she was pregnant. Since that was impossible and it was time to produce a baby or admit the truth, she hatched a gruesome plan to obtain a baby of her own. On Oct 6, she went driving around looking for a pregnant woman and happened upon 23-year-old Maritza Ramirez-Cruz, who was 38 to 42 weeks pregnant.

Rodriguez asked Cruz if she needed a ride, which Cruz accepted. She took Cruz to Walgreen’s then stopped at her own home under the guise of needing to change shoes. Cruz went inside as as well so she could use the restroom. I could gloss over what happened next, but I think people should know exactly what kind of monster Rodriguez is and the terror Cruz, a married mother of three other children, experienced. The following comes directly from the criminal complaint, and be warned, it’s disturbing stuff.

“When Maritza Ramirez-Cruz came out of the bathroom the defendant hit Maritza RamirezCruz several times in the head with a baseball bat. Maritza fell against the wall and fled into the bathroom. The defendant Annette Morales-Rodriguez followed her into the bathroom and pulled Maritza Ramirez-Cruz out of the bathroom. Maritza ran into the living room and Annette Morales Rodriguez picked up the bat again and hit Maritza a third time in the head. This broke Maritza’s glasses and Maritza fell down and struck her head on a table.

Maritza Ramirez Cruz Woman Charged With Murder After Cutting Baby From Pregnant Woman

Maritza Ramirez-Cruz

The defendant Annette Morales Rodriguez then straddled Maritza Ramirez-Cruz, who was on her back. Annette Morales-Rodriguez, using her right hand squeezed Ramirez-Cruz’s throat. Ramirez-Cruz fought back and Annette Morales-Rodriguez restrained both of Maritza RamirezCruz’s hands by kneeling on them. Annette Morales-Rodriguez, using both of her hands, squeezed Maritza Ramirez-Cruz around the throat until she was no longer conscious.

Annette Morales-Rodriguez retrieved duct tape from her room, using it to bind Maritza Ramirez-Cruz’s hands and feet, as well as placing pieces of the tape over her mouth and nose. She then placed a plastic bag over Ramirez-Cruz’s head, because blood was coming out of her mouth and nose.

Annette Morales Rodriguez then dragged Maritza Ramirez-Cruz to the hallway by the bathroom. She then took an Exacto knife and cut Maritza Ramirez-Cruz’s abdomen. She cut Maritza at the bikini line attempting to duplicate the process she had seen on the Discovery Channel, depicting a cesarean section birth.

Annette Morales Rodriguez stated she cut her fingers while cutting the baby out of Maritza Ramirez-Cruz, and showed the detectives the cuts on her hands. When Annette Morales Rodriguez cut open Maritza the amniotic fluid came out of Maritza’s stomach, and when Annette Morales Rodriguez took the baby out of the stomach the baby was not breathing.

Annette Morales Rodriguez then cut the placenta out. Annette Morales Rodriguez then dragged Maritza Ramirez-Cruz into the basement and concealed her body by the hot water heater.”

She then called 911 about her unexpected delivery. Using this info, police went back to Rodriguez’s home and found Cruz’s body in the basement. Rodriguez has been charged with first-degree intentional homicide while armed and first-degree intentional homicide of an unborn child while armed. If she’s convicted, she will face two mandatory life sentences.

Cruz’s stepmother said that Cruz, her husband and three children had moved from Puerto Rico to Milwaukee last November in hopes of building a better life.
