Earlier, Stinnett, who was eight months pregnant, had been talking with her mother on the phone, and hung up saying a woman she had chatted with online had just arrived at her door, authorities said.

Hmmm.

First, I wish to express a concern that this will become a media-frenzy case, like the Scott Peterson, OJ Simpson, Gary Condit(THE literal"September 10th" mentality), as well as the drown-your-kids-and-say-that-a-black-man-did-it.

Last Friday night the sheriff, FBI, and other folks were praising the significant contribution of the "Amber Alert" system(is this related to the Amber Frey(sp?) incident?) But these folks said that initially the Amber Alert system would not accept that there was justification for an Amber Alert. Could it be that since the stolen fetus was not conventionally "born"(and probably not alive) that it was not a child?

I'm waiting to hear whether it was the National Organization of Women, or a law enforcement agency, which convinced the people at Amber Alert to implement an action.

That child will have major problems dealing with the facts of her birth. I hope that her father keeps her out of the press limelight. The worst curse of such a horrible entry into the world will be the total lack of privacy that she will have throughout her life, with the press' incessannt need to profit off of her pain.
