Does anybody else think this story stinks to high heaven?

The attacker had gained entry to the family's home in Lonedell, about 45 miles south of St. Louis, on Friday afternoon by asking to use Stephanie Ochsenbine's telephone. Ochsenbine's boyfriend and Abby's father, James Woods, was at work at the time, police said.

They fought after the woman told Ochsenbine "I'm here to take your child," and Ochsenbine was stabbed several times and her throat was slashed.

Ochsenbine's 1-year-old son, Connor, also was in the house but was unharmed.

Ochsenbine passed out and police aren't sure how long she was unconscious.

When she regained consciousness, she picked up Connor and went for help, trying two houses where no one was home before arriving at neighbor Pat Bearden's home.

"She was standing there with blood all over her and said 'Somebody stole my baby,'" said Pat Bearden, 69.

While no one has been ruled out as being involved, Ochsenbine and Woods are not considered prime suspects, Toelke said. "We're not focusing on them," he said.

If the woman gained entry to the house by asking to use the phone, then why didn't the mother just use the phone after "passing out" and coming to? After having her throat cut, mind you.

I hope they find the baby, but I'm so jaded I find the whole story a little hard to swallow.

Ummmm have you ever heard of SHOCK!!!! Its that funny thing that happens to people when something traumatic occurs. The story doesnt say if the intruder ripped the phone out or if it was damaged in some way or could she speak very well with a slit throat. I find it hard to believe that anyone would intentionaly stab themselves and slit their own throat just to hide something. but hey I'm not even close to being that jaded.

I confess. First thing I thought of upon hearing this was Susan Smith.

Me, too.

Sorry, but nobody who really has had their throat slit can walk two houses away to call the cops.

We'll see.

No reason to be cynical about this story. Turns out it was all true.....
