She stabbed a pregnant woman and kidnapped her baby: the heinous crime for which Lisa Montgomery was executed

A Woman was about to become a mother for the first time, was eight months pregnant, and was 23 years old when horror surprised her from behind inside her own home in Skidmore, Missouri, United States. Bobbie Jo and her husband, Zeb Stinnett, owned a kennel for rat terriers (smallish guard dogs that North Americans use a lot in rural areas to fight rats and other pests) to supplement the money. that entered them for their respective jobs. Coincidentally it would be this activity that would lead to the cruel and violent death of Bobbie Jo.

The young mother and the murderous appropriator

Bobbie Jo Stinnett was born and died in December: she was born on the 4th (in 1981) and died on the 16th (in 2004) at the age of 23. She is smart and shy, she had a younger brother whom she adored, she married a lifelong friend in 2003, two years after graduating from high school with honors.

She and her husband Zeb (23) worked at the Kawasaki Motors Manufacturing Co. factory and also raised rat terrier dogs at her home. Those extra dollars came in handy, especially now that they were having their first child.

On her side, Lisa Marie Montgomery was 36 when she became Bobbie Jo's cruel butcher, and carried a history of fear. She was born on February 27, 1968 into a chaotic family. She was raped by her stepfather for many years, and in adolescence she sought refuge in alcohol. When she was 14 years old, her mother discovered her abuse, but they say that she ended up blaming her and even pointed a gun at her, threatening her.

She ended up running away from her home at 18 to marry Carl Bowman. They had four children and, in 1990, on medical advice, she decided to have her tubes tied so she would not have more children. They briefly separated in 1993, but rebuilt the relationship. In 1998 it was he who decided to separate permanently. Sometime later Lisa she met anothe

r estranged man, electrician Kevin Montgomery, who had 3 children. They got married in 2000.

The couple moved in with her 7 children (his 3 and hers 4) and Kevin's parents.

Six days before the crime of Bobbie Jo, Lisa's first husband had applied to the Justice for custody of the two minor children of the four they had together. By then, Lisa had been simulating another Kevin pregnancy for some time.

Fatal virtual encounter

Bobbie Jo and Lisa Montgomery met online, in a chat about the breed of dogs they both bred called Ratter Chatter. They exchanged emails and for a long time shared pleasant talks. In that chat Bobbie Jo happily announced that she was expecting the arrival of her first child in January 2005. Another participant, Lisa Montgomery, from Melvern, Kansas, also announced that she had been pregnant with twins, but that one had died and that she expected to give giving birth to the one who had survived in December. The conversations revolved around their lives, which seemed to have many things in common.

In April 2004, Bobbie Jo and Lisa with their "pregnancies" just started met at a rat terrier show in Abilene, Kansas. There is a photo from that dog show that shows them together. Zeb Stinnett is also in the picture at one end. Everything was normal until then.
