A BBS Murder

Remember the bizarre murder/child abduction? It all started on a BBS for dogs.

A chilling exchange on an Internet chat board for rat terrier owners shows how a crazed Kansas woman who allegedly ripped the baby out of a pregnant dog breeder set up the meeting.

Other exchanges show how the board members figured out what must have happened and pointed cops to the suspect.

The first message in the tragic chain was posted Wednesday at 4:22 p.m., by a woman calling herself Darlene Fischer, with the screen name "fischer4kids" - but who was really accused killer Lisa Montgomery, authorities have said. The note was the bait to trap victim Bobbie Jo Stinnett.

"I was recommended to you by [name withheld by the Daily News] and have been unable to reach you by either phone or E-mail," the message read. "Please get in touch with me soon as we are considering the purchase of one of your puppies and would like to ask you a few questions."

Stinnett replied with a cheerful message at 7:44 p.m.:

"Darlene, I've E-mailed you with the directions so we can meet. I do so hope that the E-mail reaches you. Great chatting with you on messenger. And do look forward to chatting with you tomorrow a.m.

"Thanks [name withheld], and talk to you soon, Darlene!

"Have a great evening

"Bobbie"

Montgomery had been on the chat board often, using her own name and posting photos of her own rat terrier puppies and seeking mates for her own breeding projects.

Early Friday morning, as frantic news reports aired about the horrific baby snatching, the regulars on the Ratter Chatter site realized the victim was one of their own.

And then they realized that "Darlene" would have met Bobbie Jo on the day she was killed, and that the woman had arranged the deadly meeting through their chat board.

They also recalled that both Stinnett and Montgomery had discussed their pregnancies on the chat site.

Montgomery, who was not pregnant, was claiming as recently as last week that she was due in days.

"Darlene Fischer was supposed to meet her on [Thursday]," wrote one poster.

One chatter figured out that the Internet address for Fischer traced back to Kansas - where the baby was eventually recovered at Montgomery's home.

By 8 a.m., several members had called the police with the information they had gathered.

Police said the tips and a sighting of the suspect's car led them quickly to Montgomery.

By the time it was over, the pain was palpable in the messages. "We just saw a murder plan in front of us and it makes me so sad," wrote one poster.

One woman wrote she'd just been told by the suspect that she was due to give birth the day Stinnett was killed.

"Now I'm just sick as heck. . . ." the woman wrote. "If this is true . . . she just posted to me not long ago that she was going to have her baby Thursday."
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

I'm a bit torn here...

The woman is obviously deranged to even think of doing something like this, but her mind worked well enough to come up with a very complicated plan and execute it nearly flawlessly.  The only reason she didn't get away with it was because she trusted in the anonymity of the internet and left enough ties between her various parts of the plan that the FBI could connect the dots.

So do we kill the b**ch because there is absolutely no doubt she's a calculating murderer and a clear threat to society, do we lock her up and pay her room/board for the rest of her life because she looked and acted "normal" even before the complicated and calculated murder/kidnapping, or does the legal system brand her mentally incompetent and turn her over to a system that may be obligated to set her free because by almost every measure she's "normal" except for that little bit about the psychotic murder/kidnap plot?

I'm leaning towards the death penalty because what she did was truly horrifying and knowing she's alive makes me feel quite a bit less safe...  My wife and I are trying to have kids and if this psychotic murderer isn't put to death, what's the real deterrent against someone else trying it or even this person getting set free and trying it again?  She is capable of highly intelligent and logical thought as evidenced by her complex plan and actions, so it's quite possible she could convince someone to let her free in the future.

I also forsee a miniseries, but it's possible it's just too horrifying to ever get released.  Just knowing it actually happened would be enough to traumatize viewers who would see it happen on the tv.  Even most horror movies aren't this sick.
Everyone I know, goes away, in the end.

A person who does this is obviously insane and therefore shouldn't be qualified as sane in court. Of course I'm all for removing undesirables like her, but that has nothing to do with justice. Give her the injection.

So, what to do with mrs. Manson?
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

I though I saw an eposide of 'Law and Order' on something similar to this allready, regarding snatching of a fetus.
Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.
