TIGARD, Ore., June 8 (UPI) -- Relatives of a slain Tigard, Ore., woman say she met suspect Korena Roberts through the Web site Craigslist while looking for baby clothes.
Heather Snively's body was found Friday in the crawl space of Roberts' home in nearby Beaverton, police said. Snively's newborn son was pronounced dead Friday at a local hospital.
Snively, 21, met Roberts, 27, on Craigslist and went to Roberts' home apparently believing she had baby clothes for sale, David Kidd, Snively's stepfather, told the (Portland) Oregonian in a story published Monday.
Roberts was arrested Friday after police were summoned to her home for a report of an infant in distress. Roberts and the baby were taken to a hospital, but doctors were unable to revive the boy and told police Roberts had not given birth recently, the Oregonian reported. Police then searched Roberts' home and found Snively's body.
Roberts was to be arraigned Monday on a charge of murder in Snively's death and faces charges in the baby's death, said sheriff's Sgt. David Thompson.
Snively had moved to Oregon from Maryland several weeks ago to be with her boyfriend, Chris Popp, the father of the baby, the report said.
