Union, Mo. – Attorneys for an accused baby kidnapper in Franklin County are expected to ask a judge for a change of venue today (Tue).
Shannon Torrez, 37, is accused of slashing the throat of Stephanie Oschenbine and kidnapping Oschenbine's ten-day-old daughter, Abby Woods, last September. The infant was returned safely a few days later.
Torrez' attorneys are also expected to seek a second mental evaluation. She's charged with kidnapping, assault, armed criminal action, burglary and other charges. She could spend the rest of her life in prison, if convicted.
