I screwed up the title. The baby is a boy! Sorry about that. Still horrible! The mother fought as long as she could, but, the perp had a gun.

By NBC News and msnbc.com staff
A Texas nurse accused of killing a mother and snatching her 3-day-old baby was trying to produce an infant for her fiancé after hiding a miscarriage from him, police said Wednesday.

Verna McClain, 30, acted alone when she attacked Kala Marie Golden, 28, of Spring, Texas, and took her son, Keegan Schuchardt, outside a clinic where the baby had a checkup Tuesday, police said at a news conference.

McClain was charged with capital murder and was being held without bail after her first court appearance Wednesday, Montgomery County sheriff’s deputies said at a news conference.

The baby was recovered unharmed Tuesday night from the Harris County home of the suspect's sister by Texas Rangers.

McClain told her fiance she’d had a live birth, Montgomery County Sheriff Det. John Schmidt told reporters. A May wedding was planned, he said she told officers.

Investigators were interviewing the fiance but believed he had never seen the kidnapped baby, Schmidt said.

Investigators said McClain and her fiance are black, the kidnapped baby is white, but they did not know how McClain planned to pass the infant off as hers and her fiance's.

The baby was reunited with his family Wednesday.

Officials said McClain first approached deputies as a helpful witness at an apartment complex where they found a Lexus described by witnesses as being the suspect’s vehicle. However, her story soon fell apart as they talked to her and she confessed to the killing, officials said.

Police said McClain was being held in a single-inmate cell and was not under any suicide watch.

"The investigation was not over", officials said. You may see the baby, perp and a video clip here: http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/20...scarriage?lite

Maybe she's color blind! I thought of that, too. I wish people would stop lying to each other. The good men have the horrible women and vice versa!

Reminds me of a white girl on, "Maury", trying to convince her very dark complected boyfriend he was the father and the baby would get darker in time!

Can you imagine?... her last though in life was probably "I can't protect my baby from this crazy person and I'll never know what happens to him"

[mrm1109]

why would a black woman steal a white baby and say its hers?

[copper]

i would say the woman who had the miscarriage had lost her marbles somewhat and in her desperation to get the baby she was expecting and so cruelly lost simply snapped.

im not saying what she did was right - excusable or in anyway something i could tolerate but i could at least empathise with her a little. i know if my son were to die i couldn't even begin to imagine what i would be capable of in my grief

What a fucking nut.

I don't think there was a baby or a miscarriage. She made it up to keep the guy, unless I misunderstood the article. Still a wacko either way!

I can't say that I'm surprised by this
