As there are now some references, I have removed the "hoax" tag. Biscuittin ( talk) 22:45, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
^^^ If that's true (that the article was edited by a copy editor), then the copy editor needs to go back to school. There is some extremely sensationalist writing in this article (e.g. "but the killing didn't stop there"; "still on her rampage...").

I just made several edits to improve the writing, such as removing the phrases above and "crazed woman" (really?), as well as changing about half the names throughout the article. In formal writing, people should be referred to either their full or last names, and almost all of the victims' first names alone were used after the first mention. Hopefully the changes are kept and this article is improved further...

This article claims that the first fetal abduction occurred in 1975 in Philadelphia, soon followed by another in Hollywood. No details on the cases, though. Could be worth looking into. http://articles.latimes.com/1988-04-29/news/vw-2469_1_ray-pierce/7 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amphibienne ( talk • contribs) 17:06, 3 February 2011 (UTC) http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/notorious_murders/women/prenatal_predators/6.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.8.62.195 ( talk) 05:57, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

the cases here are the ones that were caught - not that we'll ever know, but one wonders if there are any children out there who think they're with their biological parents, but are in fact the result of successful foetal abductions...? Adambrowne666 ( talk) 11:15, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
All the cases here are from the USA. Has this sort of thing never happened anywhere else? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.64.142.162 ( talk) 05:48, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

The current 30 case and attempt synopses need editing to a concise wiki style. MoS, WP:NOT etc. Some are stll sensational anecdotal style.
To search for more cases? Eventually may have to move into separate list article. Found some cases in google search, also from non-citeable sources - i.e. web lists unknownmisandry-blog and also in this paper by Porter, Theresa. (2017). Cesarean Kidnapping: Maternal instinct, Malingering and Murder... The latter reads like original research but has more cases
Some case synopses need better, more authoritative, informative sources- Yohananw ( talk) 15:52, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
The introduction is the part of any article that most needs accuracy, clarity and conciseness.
This is current snapshot with second paragraph of exclusions and exceptions.- Yohananw ( talk) 20:00, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
Greetings,
This article suggests that fetal abduction was rarer when baby-snatching from hospitals was easier due to less security:
A point to ponder: the motive (end goal) seems to be to get a baby, not a fetus. Nearly all fetal abduction cases involve mothers about 9 months' pregant (i.e., the fetus is viable at that point). Ryoung122 16:02, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
