Heather Snively – Before being killed by Korena Roberts and stuffed in a crawlspace, Heather Snively answered a Craigslist ad placed by Roberts seeking baby clothes, not knowing Roberts was a homocidal maniac.
Eight months pregnant, Heather Snively spoke with Roberts several times before agreeing to meet her.
“I guess they decided to meet and I guess that was the wrong thing to do,” she said. “But Heather’s always been a very trusting person.”
Once inside Korena Roberts home, Snively was stabbed to death and her belly cut open so Roberts, who had been pretending to be pregnant to keep her boyfriend, could have her baby.
Oddly, Roberts already had two other children who were staying with friends at the time Heather Snively was killed for her unborn child.
The male baby did not survive the brutal attack on his mother, which in turn led to the 911 call from Korena Roberts about a newborn baby in distress that ultimately led to Roberts arrest for murdering Snively.
Kidd said her daughter Heather was eight months pregnant, and Snively’s Facebook photo shows her lifting up her pink shirt to expose a large belly.
Snively and her boyfriend, identified by Kidd as Christopher Popp, had only recently moved to Oregon from Maryland. Popp, the baby’s father, had gotten a better job, so the couple moved west.
Kidd said her first grandson was going to be named John Steven.
“I’m still in shock; it hasn’t hit me,” she said. “I mean, that initial phone call; I just couldn’t believe it. I just could not believe I was talking about my own child.”
And that’s the latest news on the murder of Heather Snively.

I don’t post lots, but this was worth the read. Craigslist always has something new in stock. Some site I read had a post about a guy who was going to buy a car for his gf, and stumbled upon some ad with something about Hitler… Very odd. That is Craigslist…

“At this time, it has not been determined if [Snively] died because of head wounds she received or as a result of cutting injuries she received to her abdomen,” said a Monday statement from the Washington County, Oregon, Sheriff’s Office. “The autopsy determined that Ms. Snively’s son was removed from her womb after she had been cut open.”
Additional testing is needed to determine whether the infant died before or after he was removed from Snively’s body, the statement said.
Roberts had been telling friends and family for months that she was pregnant, police said, and had told many of those people, including her live-in boyfriend, that she was carrying twins.
