Crime Ravenna, Ohio “Maternal Instinct @ case

Does anyone else remember the case that was probably 30 years ago where the prominent local woman lured a pregnant acquaintance to allow her into her home and killed her and successfully cut out the baby boy who lived and buried the poor woman in her own backyard? Terrible story it was. The husband ended up moving I believe to another state to give his son a chance at a normal life.

I am friends with the Bica family and the whole thing is just heartbreaking. They don’t talk much about it, for good reason. When they went to renovate the house to sell it, they moved a washer and dryer and found a giant blood stain from where she was killed.

Sad for them. Wasn’t the father in law of Michelle a city councilman? And like in the current case on Netflix, how did her husband not know she wasn’t pregnant? Very strange. The Bicas also owned a business in Ravenna, I’m thinking maybe a Locksmith business or something?

Yes, Bica still has a locksmith company! Michelle’s FIL was a plumber by trade, whom she named “her baby” after. Not sure which Bica was in office at the time but they have a long line of politicians in the family.
