Pregnant Woman Dead; Baby Stolen

A pregnant woman was found dead, her baby torn from her belly in a crude Caesarean section, and the woman suspected of stealing the child killed herself as police arrived to question her. The 8-pound, 6-ounce boy was found asleep in a crib in the nursery of Michelle Bica’s home in Ravenna, Ohio. The body of Theresa Andrews, 23, was found buried in Bica’s dirt-floor garage. She vanished Sept. 27, a week before her due date, after paging her husband to say that a woman had called to inquire about a Jeep they were selling. When he got home, his wife and the vehicle were gone. Bica’s husband, Thomas, a correction officer for the Portage County Sheriff’s Department, was questioned and released.
