Milwaukee mother accused of abducting and killing a pregnant woman for her unborn son
By Michael Winter, USA TODAY
A Milwaukee mother of three is facing two murder charges for allegedly abducting and killing a pregnant woman for her unborn son, who had been scheduled for delivery today, according to news reports.
Annette Morales-Rodriguez, 33, is charged with two counts of first-degree intentional homicide in the deaths of 23-year-old Maritza Ramirez-Cruz and her fetus, who would have been her fourth child, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Ramirez-Cruz vanished Thursday morning after leaving her home to run an errand.
Morales-Rodriquez, who is unmarried, apparently was desperate to have her fourth child and passed herself off as being pregnant after two miscarriages, the paper writes. Morales-Rodriquez looked for a pregnant woman near a social service agency, found Ramirez and offered her a ride. The two did not know one another, a relative told the Associated Press.
The Journal Sentinel explains the gruesome details of what happened next:
They got some medicine for Ramirez, then stopped at Rodriguez's house to use the bathroom.
When Ramirez came out of the bathroom, Rodriguez struck her multiple times with a baseball bat, then strangled her unconscious before using an Exacto knife to cut her child from her womb, trying, she told detectives, to duplicate a Caesarean section she'd seen performed on the Discovery Channel.
Morales-Rodriguez called 911 about noon that day to report that she had given birth at home and that her baby wasn't breathing. Emergency workers found the baby dead, took Rodriguez to a hospital and performed an autopsy on the infant. Friday, police found Ramirez-Cruz's body in Morales-Rodriguez's basement. Milwaukee police announced the killings late Saturday.
