Pregnant mother wasn't dead when abductor stole baby from womb, prosecutors say
FARGO – A courtroom full of Savanna LaFontaine-Greywind’s loved ones heard a grisly tale of how the 22-year-old Fargo woman died after her infant daughter was cut from her womb by Brooke Lynn Crews, a neighbor who lured the pregnant woman to her death by asking for help.
Prosecutor Tanya Johnson Martinez related the horrific story, one Crews told authorities, before Cass County District Judge Frank Racek sentenced Crews Friday, Feb. 2, to life in prison without the chance of parole.
On an afternoon last August, 36-year-old Crews asked her downstairs neighbor, who was eight months pregnant, for help with a sewing project.
LaFontaine-Greywind agreed to help, but when she got to Crews’ apartment Crews provoked an argument by accusing LaFontaine-Greywind of mistreating cats.
