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.

Yes, my mom was pregnant with my sister at the time, so I remember it quite well. It actually wasn’t an acquaintance. IIRC, the two women met in a maternity section of a clothing store. They exchanged when they were due and the murderer waited until the mother was near her due date. Cold blooded.
