Lisa Montgomery, 36, of Melvern,
Kansas, was arrested and charged in the kidnapping of the child "resulting in
the death of the infant's mother" Bobbie Jo Stinnett, 23, according to an FBI
affidavit filed late Friday.
If convicted, Montgomery could face a
maximum of life in prison or the death penalty, and a maximum $250,000
fine.
The infant girl has been recovered
and was in good condition at Stormont-Vail Regional Medical Center in
Topeka.
The girl's father was reunited with
her Friday evening, authorities said. She was the couple's first
child.
"The baby is fine. The baby is doing
great," U.S. Attorney Todd Graves said.
Stinnett was found dead in a pool of
blood in her home Thursday afternoon by her mother, who called 911 saying it
looked "as though her daughter's stomach had exploded," according to the
affidavit.
