American homicide victim; nine months pregnant when she was shot and disemboweled in a primitive C-section by a neighbor, Michelle Bica, who wanted her baby. Theresa and her husband, Jonathan were happily expecting their first child with a due-date of 10/04/2000. To help with expenses, they were selling a Jeep, which they had stationed in their front yard with a for-sale sign. On 9/27, after Jon left for work, Theresa received a phone call from a woman inquiring about the vehicle. Theresa called her husband at work to let him know that she had agreed to show the car - and he never heard from her again. Michelle Bica, who lived only 4 blocks away, had been stalking Theresa for months. She had reportedly had a miscarriage several years earlier and desperately wanted a baby. When Theresa's pregnancy began to show, Michelle began to gain weight and pretended to be pregnant, even convincing her husband, a 41-year-old corrections officer, that it was so. Both women were setting up a nursery in their homes and having baby showers. The Jeep sale gave Michelle her chance. She coerced (or forced) Theresa into going to her house. Once there, Michelle shot Theresa in the back and then proceeded to perform a crude Cesarean section on her. She buried Therese in her garage and told her husband that she had delivered the 8 lb.6oz. boy herself. Within the week, police traced a phone call to Theresa about the Jeep to Michele's number. They went to the Bica home for a second visit to ask questions. Michelle's husband (who claimed he knew nothing) answered the door and they all heard a shot. Michelle had locked herself in the bathroom and shot herself in the mouth. Jonathan Andrews named his son Oscar Gavin. Michelle
