Murder of Bobbie Jo Stinnett

So, before Parker, we'll go back to the case the experts consider the template.

Lisa Montgomery.

And after Parker, we'll come home.

We'll talk about Amber Waterman.

That's the framework.

Now let's see it move.

If you ask the experts which case defines this crime in the modern era, most of them will point to the same name, Lisa Montgomery.

In December of 2004, in the small town of Skidmore, Missouri, there lived a twenty-three-year-old woman named Bobbie Jo Stinnett.

Who am I? Oh dear.

Bobbie Jo Stinnett.

Do you know her? Do you know the story? Well, let me tell you.

She grew up in Graham, Missouri.

Now strangely, while the jumper cables initially go missing with Branson, somebody returns them to the shed days later.

Perhaps the second-most infamous crime in Skidmore after Ken McElroy is the death of Bobbie Jo Stinnett in 2004, and if you're at all squeamish, I highly recommend you skip this section.

The week before Christmas, Bobbie Jo opens her front door to find a woman named Lisa Montgomery.

Bobbie Jo is eight months pregnant, and she's hoping to make some extra cash through her home-based business selling puppies.

Lisa tries to claim the baby as her own daughter, but it's clear to everyone that something horrible has happened.

She's swiftly arrested and is later executed.

To make matters even more bizarre, Branson Perry and Bobbie Jo Stinnett were cousins.

According to some reports, they were also cousins of Wendy Gillenwater, who was beaten to death.
