A young mother has been murdered after she was befriended by a lady she met on Craigslist.

Korena Roberts, 28, has been charged with murder after the body of a young mother was found in the crawl space under her kitchen.

Roberts, from Oregon, called for medical assistance on Friday after she said that her newborn baby was in distress.

They arrived at the scene to find Roberts’ boyfriend trying to revive the baby boy. Medics sent the baby and Roberts to a hospital after they found a lot of blood at the home.

Sgt. David Thompson from Washington County Sheriff’s office said “Doctors at the hospital were not able to revive the baby,”

“They also discovered that Ms. Roberts had not delivered a child at anytime in the recent past.”

When they returned to the home, they found the body of 21-year-old Heather Snively who had been 8-months pregnant when she had gone missing.

They have determined that Snively was the mother of the child, but need to investigate further to find out whether she had died after the birth, or if the child had been removed from her once she had been killed.

Robert’s had told her neighbours that she was pregnant, although they told reporters that she did not look like she was.

It is believed that Snively met Roberts through Craigslist as she was selling used baby clothes.
