‘Fetal movement’? What an odd thing to say. IMO

Sad to hear this. Wonder if she flatly denied pregnancy to the people around her, and they suspected and that's why they did the check after the noises. A shame they weren't close enough to find out the truth sooner but I suspect she pushed back and hard.

I always start by wanting to hear more about the mother in these cases. I truly believe so many suffer with pregnancy related psychological conditions that impact their reactions.

But here.... Poor baby.

So it seems she did indeed hide the pregnancy (and delivery). I had suspected she didn't hide it. The photos of her show an obvious baby bump, imo, and I find it odd others didn't notice, but apparently they didn't.

It's very sad to hear she delivered on her own and then lied about the noise her roommates heard.

Of course, the worst sadness is the baby was killed, but it is sad that someone went through pregnancy and delivery alone without any support. I was thrilled to be pregnant and had lots of support, and it was still difficult - sad to think a young woman chose to go it alone with added the burden of hiding it - and while performing with the Stunt team and having a boyfriend! And yes, again, the saddest part is the baby didn't survive.

If only she made ONE different decision at any step of the way, that little boy would be alive and she wouldn't be facing criminal charges. (Or if someone had said, "Hey, you're pregnant - you need to take that seriously.")

This case went from baffling to bleak now that we know more, imo.

Replying a second time to you!

Regarding the noise - she texted in a group text that she didn't feel well. I'm assuming the noise was the baby, though it could be sounds she made during labor, or both.

I wonder if her roommates were suspicious and looked around her room after she left that morning. The baby was found in the closet - was that a random discovery or did roommate(s) specifically investigate the noise because they suspected LS lied?

that seems to be the reporter's wording since it's not in quotes
