Baby Be Mine by Diane Fanning (2006, Paperback)

While the subject was interesting, there just wasn't enough material for a book. The author went off on tangents and gave great details about other homocides and crimes in the Missouri area (but that wasn't what I wanted to read about here.) Not one of my favorite true crime books.

I found BABY BE MINE to be very well written, Diane Fanning did a lot of research and personal interviews with family members, local people affected by the brutal murder of a lovely young pregrant Mother-to-be in a small town in Missouri,As The story tells us how and why Elizabeth "Lisa" Montgomery, a mother herself cuts the child within young Bobbie Jo Stinnett's womb out of her beaten, dying body & kidnaps her helpless newborn, that she has helped to bring into the world by such violence. Ms. Flanning also goes into great detail & the history of Other women who have commited this Vile Act of Murder in order to obtain an infant. I thought it was an excellent True Crime book.
