A Missouri couple now face federal charges in what federal authorities have called the “kidnapping and murder of a pregnant Arkansas woman.” The federal criminal complaints against the husband and wife reveal new, harrowing details in the case.

Amber Waterman and Jamie Waterman, both 42, are facing the newly levied accusations in federal court in Springfield, Missouri, because their crimes allegedly crossed state lines — thus triggering federal jurisdiction. The couple already was accused of state-level criminal charges

Amber Waterman is charged federally with one count of kidnapping resulting in death, and Jamie Waterman is accused federally of being an accessory after the fact to that crime, according to twin criminal complaints obtained Friday.

Those documents say Amber Waterman kidnapped Ashley Bush, 33, who was “approximately 31 weeks pregnant,” in hopes of claiming Bush’s unborn baby as her own child.

Bush was shot and killed. She and her unborn baby were found in different locations in Missouri, according to local authorities.

The federal criminal complaint and an attached affidavit say the case unfolded when Bush’s fiancé, Joshua Willis, reported her missing on Monday, Oct. 31.

The investigation moved quickly. The same day the authorities obtained the phone — Nov. 1 — they were at the Waterman home. There they found a light tan truck and were given consent by the defendants to search the premises. Inside the vehicle, a detective found what appeared to be “blood stains on the inside of the vehicle, specifically on the center console, steering wheel, and headliner,” according to the probable cause paperwork.

That document says Amber Waterman spoke with the local constabulary while they were at her house. She claimed she’d been home all day on Oct. 31 with her son and her husband’s cousin’s daughter, the document asserts. “Later in the afternoon,” however, she claimed to have gone into labor, asked someone to call 911 for her, and then “drove to meet an ambulance at a store in McDonald County, Missouri,” the affidavit states. Waterman then allegedly claimed she gave birth to a stillborn child on the evening of Oct. 31.

When law enforcement asked Amber Waterman for her phone, she claimed to have lost it, the court paperwork says. But she also claimed she was the only one who had keys and access to the tan pickup truck in question.

Amber Waterman then allegedly claimed she had no clue who Bush was. However, she allegedly said that she previously worked with “Lucy” at Walmart. She claimed she and “Lucy” were not close but that she had recently bumped into “Lucy” at a store, according to the affidavit.

Attention then turned to Jamie Waterman, who allegedly said he drove a blue GMC pickup truck.
