The defendant who allegedly lured a pregnant woman with an online job post and then killed her is now being federally prosecuted for causing the unborn child’s death. Amber Waterman, 43, and her husband Jamie Waterman, 43, were charged Tuesday in a superseding indictment out of the Western District of Missouri.

The murder of Ashley Bush, 33, was so shocking that even Arkansas authorities, Benton County Sheriff Shawn Holloway and Benton County Prosecuting Attorney Nathan Smith, have said they had never before seen anything like it. Authorities claim that Amber Waterman planned on taking Bush’s unborn child, Valkyrie Grace Willis, as her own, back to her home in Pineville, Missouri.
