A Missouri woman has pleaded not guilty to charges of murdering a pregnant Arkansas woman who was 31 weeks pregnant in attempt to steal the baby.
Amber Waterman, 42, was charged Friday with kidnapping resulting in death in the murder of 33-year-old Ashley Bush, who was found near Waterman's home on November 3.
According to court documents, Waterman and her husband Jamie, also 42, abducted Bush 'for the purpose and benefit of claiming Ashley Bush’s child as the defendant’s child.'
Officials in Benton County said Waterman lured Bush by using 'Lucy' as a pseudonym and a phony job interview posting.
Authorities said that the pregnant Bush was looking for a work from home job at the time.
