| Summary |
"This fascinating and disturbing documentary looks at foetal theft - the murder of a pregnant woman to cut out their unborn child. So far there have been seven cases and a disturbing pattern is forming. The killers are women with no history of violence or abuse. The murders are always pre-meditated - the women often maintain a fictional pregnancy for eight months as they target their victim and plan their crime. This documentary explores the psyche of three women perpetrators - and one victim who survived. The first two cases involve a particularly bloody attack and murder near Chicago and another example in Alabama. (From the UK, in English and Spanish) (Documentary) WS" -- SBS website |
