Episode Stolen from the womb: Caesarean Kidnapping
This week: one of the rarest — and most horrifying — crimes on earth. A baby ripped from the womb in a violent act of theft.
We go deep into the case of Loretta Cook, a 24-year-old from Toekomsrus, whose web of lies led to murder and left a newborn fighting for life.
South Africa has seen not one, but at least three known caesarean kidnappings — an almost unheard-of crime globally. Why here? Why now?
Gerard Labuschagne and Paul Llewellyn unpack:
Why women fake pregnancies and kill to make them real
How these crimes are planned, not impulsive
What forensic psychology reveals about killers who seem "normal"
And how society’s pressure to be a mother can turn deadly
🔪 This is true crime at its most disturbing — and most revealing.
