Husband of slain pregnant woman: Baby 'beautiful'
By David Scott
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Victoria Jo Stinnett, the infant girl cut from the
womb in a grisly attack that left her mother dead, is "4 months old and
beautiful," her father said Monday.
In a statement filled with praise for members of law enforcement and
thanks for well-wishers from around the world, Zeb Stinnett offered a
glimpse of his life with his daughter. Prosecutors have charged a Kansas
woman with killing Victoria's mother, 23-year-old Bobbie Jo Stinnett,
and cutting her open with a kitchen knife to steal her unborn child.
The attack sparked a two-state search that ended when authorities
arrested Lisa M. Montgomery, of Melvern, Kan., who prosecutors have said
showed the baby off as her own. Montgomery is charged with the federal
crime of kidnapping resulting in death. Prosecutors have yet to say if
they will seek execution.
On Monday, Stinnett included three photos of his daughter, whom he
called Tori Jo, and promised to tell her about everyone who helped bring
her home safely.
"She has three great loves right now -- eating, sleeping and smiling,"
Stinnett said. "Believe it or not, the 5-pound, 11-ounce baby I held in
a Kansas hospital last December now weighs 15 pounds, 8 ounces, most of
it cheeks."

Whoa! That is one BIG baby. He sure is feeding her well.
Thanks for the link.
She's adorable, isn't she. Happy for the dad, at least he has his little
baby girl to love. But what a sad sad situation.

A very classy statement. I hope the kid has a wonderful life - she's
already owed a hell of a lot.
