Woman fakes pregnancy intending to steal friends newborn and raise it as her own.

A Texas woman who faked a pregnancy for several months has been found guilty of fatally shooting a former co-worker and kidnapping the victim’s newborn baby with the intention of raising the child as her own.

Yesenia Sesmas, was found guilty of first-degree premeditated and intentional murder, kidnapping and interference with parental custody at Sedgwick County on Tuesday, shared Yahoo 7.

Prosecutors said she shot 27-year-old Laura Abarca on November 17, 2016, at Abarca’s Wichita apartment and abducted six-day-old Sophia Gonzales.

The baby was found safe less than two days after the abduction at Sesmas’ apartment in Dallas and was returned to relatives in Wichita.

According to authorities and evidence at the trial, Sesmas, a 36-year-old Mexican national, faked a pregnancy for months after she lost her unborn child.

After finding out Abarca had given birth, Sesmas drove to Wichita and shot her in the head before taking the baby back to Texas.

  • Wow… what a devastating and disturbing story. Obviously mental health issues involved that were untreated. Even so, it still made me angry and sad. The poor mother, baby and family.. lost for words..

  • It saddens me that someone can actually reach a point where they would do this. Mental health support needs so much more funding in every country.


    • You are absolutely right. It is such a shame. The system is not right the world over.

  • Aw this is horrific and sick. So this Sesmas faked a pregnancy for months after she lost her unborn child and then shot her friend in the head to have her baby. This woman clearly need help besides the sentence she got. Her act affects so many lives ! The baby will grow up without a mum, the dad won’t have his soulmate beside him anymore, extended family & friends will miss this lady, Sesmas herself will end up in jail and those who’re connected with her will be in shock as well. So sad.

  • Wow this is terrible. In addition to a life sentence she needs intense therapy to come to terms with what shes done and the long terms effects of her choice.
