A pregnant Texas woman has been stabbed multiple times by an intruder as her horrified soldier husband serving overseas helplessly watched the attack play out in real time on video chat.
Rachel Poole, 31, was talking to her husband, Justin Pele Poole, on FaceTime Wednesday night when a man identified as 19-year-old Corey Moss broke into their El Paso home and lunged at her with a knife.
According to an arrest affidavit obtained by KFOX14, Mrs Poole recognized her assailant as a man who owed her husband money and screamed out his name.
The 31-year-old mother-to-be, who is nine months pregnant, was rushed to University Medical Center in critical condition suffering from multiple stab wounds and fractures to her body and face.
Doctors said her unborn baby girl, who is due in a week, was in good condition. The couple plan to name her Isabella.
According to police, the wounded victim was able to call 911 and give the name of the suspect to police.
Meanwhile, Justin Poole called the 19-year-old's co-workers, who helped apprehend Moss and seized the knife allegedly used in the attack.
Following his arrest, police said Moss admitted to stabbing Rachel Poole
The teenager has been charged with criminal attempted capital murder and was ordered held on $60,000 bond.
Neighbors told KFOX14 they that Moss owed the Pooles money for car repairs because he had borrowed a vehicle from them and wrecked it.
According to El Paso police, Moss, a soldier attached to Fort Bliss, went to the Pooles' home in the 9400 block of Wichita Circle to talk to Rachel about the money he owed her husband.
The woman wasn't home, so the 19-year-old allegedly forced his way into the house and lay in ambush, waiting for Mrs Poole to return.

The article, as written, states the perp owed the husband money. Not that the wife owed the perp money.
The perp wrecked a car that deployed husband had let him borrow. Deployed husband wanted perp to reimburse him for the auto repairs.
Instead, Perp lies in wait, and stabs deployed person's wife.
I am at a loss to understand why this dirtbag thought stabbing the pregnant wife would solve the debt issue...
Two things.
Why do we have to read this from the UK media?
Second, the perp needs to be put into a pit of vipers. Hopefully he won’t kill one of them but that it be the other way around.
Wait for trial - more to this story. Glad the baby and mom will be OK.
Attempted murder over wrecked car costs by a guy employed (in army)....waiting in hiding while she logged on and started chatting with hubby....then he jumps out???? What’s she not saying....
Prayers up for the family.

Yep - as a husband and father, I can back up what most of Y'all know - a woman scorned may be vicious and deadly, but a father or husband whose wife/children are attacked can be patient and cunning to set up the confrontation - the guy would beg me to finish him off.
Sometimes we need the godfather to handle things.
