FARGO, NORTH DAKOTA—A North Dakota woman convicted of killing her pregnant neighbor by cutting the baby from her womb testified on Sept. 25, that her boyfriend had pressured her to “produce a baby” after figuring out she had lied about being pregnant.
Brooke Crews told the court that she had concocted a phony pregnancy to keep from losing William Hoehn, who is on trial for conspiracy in the August 2017 death of 22-year-old Savanna Greywind. Hoehn has admitted helping to cover up the crime, but says he didn’t know that Crews had planned to kill Greywind and take her baby. Crews testified that she never “explicitly” told Hoehn that was her plan.
