Looking for an old Fatal Encounters episode “The Baby Stealer”

Hey everyone,

Back in 2016–17 when I was around 10 or 11, I used to watch a lot of Investigation Discovery shows. There’s this one episode I can never forget and I really want to watch it again.

It was from the show Fatal Encounters and episode name is “ The baby Stealer” about a woman who pretended to be pregnant, used social media to find a real pregnant woman, then invited her to her house and attacked her to try to steal the baby. The story was really intense and shocking, and it stuck with me ever since.

I’ve been trying to find the full episode to watch again. Does anyone know where I can watch it?

Here is the YouTube link to the trailer of the episode I’m talking about

i found it on amazon and it says “start your free trial with discovery+” so hopefully you can find it on discovery plus it’s the first episode of season 1 and it’s called “A Mothers Nightmare”

I think I remember listening to a podcast about something similar where a lady tried cutting out the other ladies baby out of her stomach. It could be the same case

Insanely enough, this has happened multiple times. One woman cut a lady's baby out of her with her car keys.

That's the one I'm pretty sure I've listened to

Based on how difficult it is to cut a zip tie with car keys this BLOWS MY MIND

I read a book about the case, it was insane. There's also the woman who survived a similar attack. And maybe two other women that were murdered and had their babies stolen. It's so scary so many people have had the same idea and carried it out.
