She used a rope to strangle Stinnett, who was eight months pregnant, and then cut the baby girl from the womb with a kitchen knife, authorities said.Montgomery took the child with her and attempted to pass the girl off as her own, prosecutors said.—For jurisdictions that utilize the Greater Kansas City Crime Stoppers Tips Hotline, anonymous tips can be made by , or through .Annual homicide details and data for the Kansas City area are available through , which was launched in 2015.
