Just over New Years, the first woman sentenced to death will be executed in the United States at age 67 by national order.
It has only happened three times before women have been executed by order of the American state: in 1865 and twice in 1953.
Murder convict Lisa Montgomery, now 52, will be executed with an injection of poison on January 12.
The murder of December 16, 2004 in the village of Skidmore in the state of Missouri in the middle of the United States generated shock reactions when it became known.
Paradoxically, the gruesome murder resulted in a small miracle, a well-kept secret 16 years later.
Lisa Montgomery, a mother of four, was 36 when she killed Bobbie Jo Stinnett (23), who was very pregnant, just before Christmas 2004. The woman died of suffocation.

Murdered mother – severed fetus
It was the next part of the macabre murder story that generated a lot of attention beyond the borders of the United States.
When her mother found the murdered woman earlier that day, she was cut with a kitchen knife. The eight-month-old fetus had disappeared.
A red car with a woman at the wheel was the first call from the police.
It was a recent email exchange on the murdered woman’s PC that triggered a search the day after the murder and abortion.
The murdered woman and her husband were raising terrier dogs. Lisa Montgomery got in touch to buy a puppy. He announced that he would come to see the dogs. The email exchange between the seller and the buyer said that the women had exchanged common experiences that they were both pregnant in the eighth month.
