Almost 16 years since she brutally killed a pregnant woman, carving the fetus out of her stomach, Lisa Montgomery was executed by lethal injection – and her last words are still haunting those who witnessed her final moments.
In December 2004, just days before Christmas, Lisa Montgomery traveled from Kansas to Skidmore, Missouri to meet with Bobbie Jo Stinnett, a 23-year-old dog breeder who was eight months pregnant with her first child.
Montgomery, 36 at the time, had contacted Stinnett under the pretense of purchasing a puppy.
Once the Kansas-born woman was inside the breeder’s home, she attacked the pregnant woman, strangled her until she lost consciousness, and then used a kitchen knife to cut the fetus from Stinnett’s womb – a brutal act carried out with chilling precision.
