Marine 'spikes pregnant woman's hot chocolate with abortion pills' to 'get rid' of their baby
A woman is suing a US Marine after he allegedly spiked her hot chocolate with dozens of abortion pill s, killing their unborn child.
Liana Davis launched legal action on Monday against Christopher Cooprider, an Arizona Marine stationed in Corpus Christie, claiming she was "tricked" into drinking the hot beverage laced with abortion pills.
Davis accuses the Marine of purchasing the abortion pills from an online website, and shared multiple text messages showing the pair discussing the pregnancy. In one text, before Davis took a pregnancy test on January 31, Cooprider allegedly said: "I would like to get rid of it."
When Davis tested positive, Cooprider allegedly said on February 4, "Get rid of it", according to the lawsuit. It comes after a toddler died after a mum "slammed her head on the wall" for "hurting her feelings."
The lawsuit claims to show dozens of text messages between Coopride and Davis, with the Marine insisting the woman get an abortion. However, according to the texts, Davis says she wants to keep her unborn daughter.
'Every time you say 'get rid of it' it's like an electric shock,' she wrote, according to the lawsuit. 'I literally feel like I'm going down the steepest hill on a roller coaster when I read that.'
Cooprider 'repeatedly brought the drugs to Davis's house when he came to visit,' according to the lawsuit. 'All of this disturbed Ms Davis, who disliked having Cooprider's abortion pills in her home.'
On April 2, Coopridger allegedly suggested he and Davis have a 'trust building night', telling Davis, 'I could make us some warm relaxing tea,' according to the texts.
Davis, who was eight weeks pregnant, liked the idea, and Coopridger came to her house on April 5, where he made them hot chocolate he brought from his flat.
Within 30 minutes of drinking the hot chocolate, the lawsuit claims Davis started 'haemorrhaging and cramping'.
Davis needed to go to the hospital but couldn't leave her three children sleeping upstairs, according to the lawsuit. Cooprider said he would pick up Davis' mum, who lived nearby, and drive her to the home where she could watch the kids while they went to the hospital.
But when Cooprider left the house, Davis was unable to reach him. 'I am gushing blood. Please hurry,' Davis texted him around 12:30am.
Davis's mum took an Uber ride to her daughter's house around 1am. Around this time, Cooprider apologised and said he had to catch a flight the next day, according to the suit. A neighbour drove Davis to the hospital, where her unborn baby did not survive.
'Baby Joy died at eight weeks LMP [Last Menstrual Period], murdered by her own father,' the lawsuit claims.
The lawsuit alleged Davis found the box of abortion pills Coopridger had purchased from an online shop.
According to authorities, there are no active police investigations into Cooprider at this time.

Swimmers told to stay away from Reggie the dancing dolphin or risk being attacked
The public has been warned to stay away from Reggie the dancing dolphin who was maimed by a boat propeller after playing with swimmers. Experts have warned the bottlenose dolphin could die or become aggressive if swimmers, fishermen, and boaters do not steer clear. The dolphin went viral online earlier this month after joining swimmers in Lyme Bay, Dorset, for an early morning dip. Video footage showed the creature leaping vertically out of the water before swimming in and around Lynda MacDonald, 50, her partner, her son and his girlfriend on Aug 3. But the animal, which appears to be living on its own and not part of a pod, has since been photographed with gashes seemingly caused by a boat's propeller. The Marine Management Organisation, a government quango, has now said it is 'concerned' by the footage, saying that humans should 'never' interact with dolphins because they lose their 'natural wariness, leading to injury or even death'. A spokesman said: 'We're increasingly concerned about a lone dolphin spotted in Lyme Bay, Dorset, following multiple potential marine wildlife disturbance offences observed online and shared on social media. 'Please remember: never swim with, touch, feed, or approach dolphins. If a dolphin approaches you, calmly leave the area. 'Human interaction can cause dolphins to lose their natural wariness, leading to injury or even death. Disturbed dolphins are also known to become aggressive toward people.' They added: 'Dolphins may seem friendly, but they are wild animals. The dolphin in Lyme Bay has already been injured by a suspected boat propeller. 'Let's protect them by keeping our distance and please share this message to respect their space.' Mrs MacDonald had previously described swimming with the dolphin as a 'magical moment'. 'Out of nowhere, the dolphin immediately approached us and wanted to join in on the action,' she said. 'It was friendly and playful. It even started guiding members of our group along the water with its beak. 'It was not distressed by our presence and was very confident around us. I've seen a dolphin before, but this is something I'll remember forever.' Liz Sandeman, who leads Marine Connection's solitary, a sociable dolphin project, added: 'When lone dolphins start spending time closer to shore, unquestionably their behaviour does change within months. 'They quickly become accustomed to humans and boats, losing their instinctive fear and caution, which could potentially put them at greater risk. 'Solitary, sociable dolphins represent a unique behavioural group that requires focused conservation efforts, and this individual dolphin needs protection now more than ever. 'It is important that everyone is aware of the fact that disturbing dolphins is against the law, and that these are large, powerful, wild animals.' Bottlenose dolphins are native to Britain and there are estimated to be 700 around the country's shores, normally swimming in pods. Disturbing dolphins can result in prison sentence Earlier this month, boaters in Cornwall were also warned to stay away from dolphins after footage showed the dorsal fins of five had been damaged. Two of the mammals' fins had been completely cut off, the Cornwall Wildlife Trust said. A spokesman for the charity said the injuries had likely been caused by high-speed watercraft or boat propellers. It is illegal to intentionally or recklessly kill, injure or disturb cetaceans – whales, dolphins, and porpoises – under the Wildlife and Countryside Act. Approaching or recklessly disturbing a dolphin can result in a prison sentence of up to six months and an unlimited fine.

Fears for missing man, 23, who vanished after getting a CAB to Rocky Mountain National Park
A 23-year-old Nebraska man is still missing after he mysteriously deserted his car and took an Uber to Rocky Mountain National Park. Blake Kieckhafer of Omaha has not been seen since Thursday, August 7, when he was last spotted at around 5.20 pm in the vicinity of the Colorado national park. 'Rocky Mountain National Park rangers began search efforts for Blake Kieckhafer, 23, of Omaha, Nebraska. Kieckhafer was reported missing to park rangers by family on Monday, August 11,' an official statement from Rocky Mountain National Park said. His family members are growing more desperate by the day to bring him home and are frantically posting on social media in the hope that someone has information. Kieckhafer's brother Justin said that his debit card transactions indicated that he made a purchase at O'Reilly's - an auto parts store - at around 2.30 pm that Thursday. Justin shared on Facebook that his family believe he may have been having car trouble, which would explain the O'Reilly's purchase. Kieckhafer's debit card was then used at a gas station in North Platte, Nebraska, before he allegedly got into an Uber. He was last seen in the Upper Beaver Meadows area of Rocky Mountain National Park that evening, when he was dropped off by the ride share service, according to the statement from Rocky Mountain National Park. Kieckhafer's family members are growing more desperate by the day to bring him home and are frantically posting on social media in the hopes that someone has information. His family say that he purchased a day pass to Rocky Mountain National Park, which was scanned on Thursday evening at around 6pm. Kieckhafer has not used his phone or debit card since last Thursday, according to family members. 'My heart is completely broken right now. There are no words to express how I feel, his mother Lisa Klabunde said on Facebook. 'I want to thank everyone for sharing Blake's post and getting it out there so we can find him.' 'I just want my son home,' she said in a separate post. Kieckhafer is 5'11 and weights 180 lbs. He has buzzed short blonde hair, a mustache and blue/green eyes. According to his 'missing person' poster, Kieckhafer was wearing a dark-colored t-shirt, dark-colored pants and a dark-colored baseball cap. He was carrying a small maroon day pack. People online have questioned why he took a ride share service and why his family did not report him missing earlier. His brother explained: 'We reported him not being home on Saturday with the police force in our county in Omaha. They told us that they couldn't report him until 7 days due to him being an adult.' Justin added that his brother has never done anything like this before and has never not informed anyone of his intentions or plans, which is why his family finds the situation especially strange.
