GUILTY ND - Savanna Lafontaine-Greywind, 22, pregnant, Fargo, 19 Aug 2017 #3

As if Savanna would want to do that to herself and her unborn baby. She would of been under the care of a medical doctor, and there is no way she would have wanted to bring her baby into the world early by herself.
That is just a fabricated lie by the murderer to save her own self from getting the death penalty IMO.
But if this was in fact first degree premeditated murder by one or both of them, throw the book at them and give the DP.

There may be some remorse and guilt. This is the first case that I remember seeing a conviction and sentencing all complete within 6 months of the murder. Most are in the court system for years. That's why I hadn't checked this thread in awhile. Figuring we would be years into getting any more information.

Savanna was stunning! Her baby has some wonderful genes. May her future be bright and productive! Shine bright!

It really is Incomprehensible, and nothing a normal human being could ever even imagine doing IMO. So wicked and unbelievably cruel.

Brook Crews lived in Australia for awhile with a boyfriend she met online. Some interesting info in these articles which I don't think has been shared here yet:

"AN AMERICAN woman charged over the grisly murder of a pregnant neighbour and the kidnapping of her baby was married to an Australian man who said she was obsessed with serial killers."

"But Hoehn, 32, told investigators he arrived at the apartment to find the bathroom full of blood and Crews holding a baby, saying: “This is our baby. This is our family.”"

"The marriage only lasted a matter of months before she returned to the US in October 2012. Mr Murray said the relationship fell apart when he discovered she had lied about her past, including the fact she had children and had been married before.

Then things took a nasty turn, when she began threatening him, he said. In all, it was six months and 10 days from the time she arrived until she was gone.

“It was all lies, it was all based on lies,” he said. “I didn’t know she was married in America, didn’t know she had children and then it all started coming out. And I said ‘look, I want you to go home and be a mother to your kids.’”

He said she was obsessed with true crime. “She studied psychology and nursing and did her thesis on serial killers. She was always reading books on serial killers and murders and could tell you anything about them.”"

"Mr Murray said Crews told him she lost a baby in 2011 and was unable to have children as a result of the miscarriage. “As time passed on, she seemed to get more and more aggressive. “And when I told her go home to be a mother to her kids she started talking about her ex and stuff ... to be honest I thought she might try and get custody of her kids or visitation rights and then [flee] across state lines.”

“She started getting nasty and saying the police wanted to speak to me,” he said. “So I walked in there and said ‘I understand you want to speak to me.’ I gave them my licence [because] I had nothing to hide.”"

"The officer denied they were investigating him, but said it was clear something was wrong. “I told them everything,” he said. “I showed them text messages that said the cops were looking for me ... I have immigration paperwork left with false names on it ... When we got married, she used the name Crews as her maiden name, and it isn’t her maiden name.”

He began to delve into her past and discovered she’d been lying. She was furious when he confronted her.

“She just got really aggressive and angry that I had found things out. That’s when she started threatening me with the police. I thought, ‘I’m not scared of you, I’ve done nothing wrong.’”

It was clear she had lived a double life. When she went back to the States, they spoke for two weeks afterwards.

“I was actually thinking of moving over and giving it a go and once she got back to America she just seemed to get really nasty,” he said.

He never imagined she could be violent and was “mortified” when he Googled her name and discovered the allegations against her."

Creepy past of baby-obsessed Brooke Crews, the ‘womb raider’ killer
BROOKE Crews, the ‘womb raid’ killer, was obsessed with babies and kept a secret journal with recipes for abortion.

(Ugh, again that awful, sensationalist title "womb raider" Gah!)

Almost a year before she murdered Ms Greywind, Crews crossed paths with a young mother in an eerie encounter."

Snip

"Then she took her baby and pretended to breastfeed her as Crews continued to stare, and other customers in the restaurant noticed the bizarre situation."

Battery dying...marking spot

Did anyone watch Tuesday's Inside Edition story on Savanna? I didn't, partly because I forgot and partly because I'm pretty sure there'd be nothing presented that we don't already know.

But the online clip is worth watching if only for the awesome video of baby Haisley. She's gonna be a heartbreaker when she grows up!

In court, there was a heartbreaking moment when the victim’s baby was brought before the judge as living evidence of the unspeakable crime.

“The person I owe the biggest apology to isn’t old enough to know,” Crews said in court. “I’m just really, really sorry.”

The victim’s emotional mother told Inside Edition she does not believe Crews is remorseful, "not one bit."

I'm with Savanna's mom - no remorse from Crews. If she had gotten away with it does anyone believe she would have turned herself in because she was remorseful over what she did to Savanna? No? Me neither.

These pictures are devastating. What a gorgeous little family they would have been. I hope Savanna saw her baby girl at least momentarily before she died, to see her little face.

Crews to be questioned before murder, kidnapping trial of boyfriend Hoehn
https://www.wday.com/news/crime-and...ioned-murder-kidnapping-trial-boyfriend-hoehn

FARGO- – It hasn’t been determined whether Brooke Crews, the admitted killer of a pregnant Fargo woman and abductor of her newborn, will testify at the trial of accused accomplice William Hoehn. But she at least will be sitting for a deposition to answer investigators’ questions, a prosecutor said Friday, Feb. 9.

A date has not been set for Crews’ deposition in the case of her boyfriend, Hoehn, said Assistant State’s Attorney Ryan Younggren, who noted that the deposition won’t be public.
[.....]
Younggren said after the hearing that he could not discuss any negotiations regarding a potential plea agreement in the case. Hoehn’s attorney, Daniel Borgen, said he typically does not comment on cases that are being litigated.
