I remember when I first read about this story it mentioned how many crimes of this nature occur (several hundred IIRC), and that many more go unreported. I didn't write the number down, but I have found a statistic of 1,000 pregnant women murdered in the past decade, but not all for the purpose of stealing their unborn child (source: Washington Post).
As for this woman...her plan was obviously pre-meditated. From scoping out websites and finding a picture of the victim pregnant, then writing the victim under an assumed name pretending to be interested in buying a puppy, arranging a meeting to go out to look at one, etc. This was no 'heat of the moment' crime...she thought this one out step by step. That is so cold blooded and heartless.
And then to come back and to say that 'ooops, I guess I wasn't having twins after all!' (I believe I read somewhere that there were ppl that doubted she was even pregnant to begin with--has it be positively stated that she did in fact miscarry, or is that something that she alone is saying?)
