Woman Accused of Murdering Pregnant Friend to Steal Newborn

(Bowling Green, Kentucky) A 33-year-old local woman, Kathy Michelle Coy, was accused this week of killing her pregnant friend and stealing the newborn. Coy faces charges of kidnapping and murder.

Authorities were initially notified after hospital staff became suspicious when Coy arrived with a newborn and claimed the boy was hers. Apparently, Coy didn't look like a woman who had just given birth.

On Thursday, the body of 21-year-old Jamie Stice was found in a wooded area adjacent to a local highway.

Stice was set to give birth on May 24. Authorities would not comment on the condition of her body, fueling speculation that the baby was extracted early.

Coy was booked into custody at the Warren County Regional Jail without bond.
