A Missouri woman accused of kidnapping and killing a pregnant Arkansas woman, had wanted to raise the unborn baby as her own, according to court records.
Amber Waterman, 42, is now facing federal charges of kidnapping resulting in death after the burned body of Ashley Bush was found not far from Waterman’s Pineville, Missouri home, according to an affidavit obtained by Oxygen.com.
Waterman initially told authorities that she had given birth to a stillborn baby the same day that Bush disappeared.
Amber’s husband, Jamie Waterman, 42, has been charged with one count of being an accessory after the fact to a kidnapping resulting in death after authorities alleged that he helped dispose of Bush’s body.
Amber Waterman is accused of using the fake persona “Lucy Barrows” to lure Bush to a meeting under the guise of helping the expectant mom arrange a job working from home.
Bush’s fiancé, Joshua Willis, told authorities that the couple first met “Lucy” at a Gravette, Arkansas public library on Oct. 28 to discuss a job with a company, called Conduent, after Bush had first connected with her online, according to the affidavit.
Willis noted that “Lucy” had been driving an older model tan pickup truck.
