Gawker — Today's gossip is tomorrow's news Seriously... wtf? Woman Allegedly Cut Baby out of Expecting Mother Max Read — Kathy Michelle Coy, a 33-year-old Kentucky mother of two, allegedly befriended a pregnant woman on Facebook before subduing her with a stun gun, killing her, and cutting out the baby with a drywall knife. Needless to say, this is not a story for the faint-of-heart. According to Kentucky State Police, testifying today at a preliminary hearing, Coy claimed to have hidden a miscarriage from her husband and their son and daughter. She then apparently approached both of her children separately about taking part in a plot to kill a pregnant woman and take the baby; her kids both demurred (Coy "passed it off as a joke"), at which point Coy began to befriend at least two pregnant women on Facebook, including Jamie Stice, a 21-year-old expecting mother. Last Wednesday, police say, Coy told Stice she would take her shopping for baby supplies. Instead, Coy drove the woman to a "wooded area," incapacitated her with a stun gun, slit her throat and cut the baby out. She then took the baby to a friend's house: The friend called for an ambulance after helping to clean the baby and taking a picture of the newborn, Winn said. At the hospital, at about 5:50 p.m. CDT on April 13, Coy brought in a uterus, ovaries and placenta with umbilical cord still attached, along with the baby, Winn said. Hospital staff called police. Coy insisted that she had given birth to the baby, later telling detectives that "she bought the baby for $550 from a woman named 'Ashley,' but provided few details." Her story began to break down: "After a while, she kept saying that Ashley came back with the baby, and detective Allen said ‘there is no Ashley, I believe you're Ashley.' And she smiled and said ‘you're right,'" [Kentucky State Police Detective Chad] Winn added. Detectives attempted to track down Coy's pregnant Facebook friends, but couldn't find Stice. Coy would later lead them to the "wooded area" where she had apparently left the body. Following today's preliminary hearing, the case is headed to a grand jury. The baby, astonishingly, is in "good condition," according to his father. His name is Isaiah.

That kid has a pretty cool story to tell his classmates. hahahaha. That's one way to think about it.

[stormcrow]

That is a fucked up story. Why couldnt she adopt? There are a fuckload of people who dont want their babies. Im glad the baby is alive and well though.

[tommo]

Wow, you actually think someone who would do that has anything resembling rationality?

tommo, your signature quote was a nice bookend to your story. haha, quite true deery Wait, why didn't Coy's friend call the police? She cleaned the child and the innards, so she obviously saw something was up. Probably didn't see the ovaries and uterus? Dunno, or wanted to get the baby to the hospital, who would obviously call the police coz they know what those look like. Or just shock. Who knows?

Gah

[CicadiaKing]

This stuff really pisses me off, Just the idea that people could do something this horrible and not suffer for it... and really? Cutting out babies from outright Jealousy? Cmon! If you have an interest in disturbing and disheartening stories, I recommend reading Jack Ketchum's The Girl Next Door, I swear I lost so much faith in humanity after I finished it.
