ST. LOUIS (AP) — A woman slashed the throat of a new mother in a rural Missouri home Friday and fled with her 1-week-old daughter, the Franklin County Sheriff's Department said.
The mother, who was in stable condition in a St. Louis hospital, told police she did not know the attacker who entered the home near the town of Lonedell, about 45 miles south of St. Louis, Franklin County Capt. Don Jones said.
The woman was armed with a gun and a knife, Jones said.
