Answer 2

M. William Phelps wrote the book Murder in the Heartland about the death of Bobbie Jo Stinnett whose 8-mo. old fetus was cut from her womb by Lisa Montgomery who had pretended to be pregnant. In this murder, however, Lisa used a rope to choke Bobbie Jo and then used a knife she'd brought from her own kitchen to perform the crude c-section. She was caught almost immediately in Kansas which was about 2 1/2 hours from the murder scene in Missouri. Tips to the FBI led them to use computer DNA to the website both women frequented about rat terriers they bred and sold. Originally the police and FBI taught the killer was named Darlene Fisher, but the computer info gave them the real name.

I believe there have been a couple cases where a key was used to perform the C-section. One took place in Albuquerque, NM in the 1990s. Darcy Pierce was a young woman who befriended the pregnant wife of an airman from Kirkland Air Force Base. Darcy pretended to be also pregnant. After the pregnant woman left an ob/gyn appointment, Pierce followed her, used a key to perform the c-section (the woman was still conscious). Pierce then went to a nearby car dealership and told them she'd just delivered the baby and needed to call her husband, who like Montgomery's husband, believed she was pregnant. The salesman was suspicious and called the police. She was taken to a hospital where it was determined she never was pregnant. The woman's body was subsequently found in the bushes. Darcy Pierce stood trial and was sentenced to the Women's Prison in Grants, NM. Her story appeared on Dateline several years ago.

This is a true story. I heard it on CNN last year. But I can't help you about the book. Check out your local library.
