A soldier stationed overseas watched in horror as
his pregnant wife was stabbed in her home while the two chatted on video.
Rachel Poole, 31, was rushed to the hospital in
critical condition after a man who was allegedly hiding in the home stabbed her
multiple times in Texas
on Wednesday. Poole was nine months pregnant
at the time. Police say Corey Bernard Moss stabbed Poole
from behind with a stainless steel knife, according to KFOX.
During the attack, her husband, Justin Pele
Poole, an American soldier stationed thousands of miles away in Asia , saw the attack unfold as the two talked over
FaceTime, according to ABC15.
Police Det. Mike Baranyay told CNN that the woman
recognized her attacker andrepeatedly screamed his name to her husband.
Moss allegedly told investigators that the victim
owed him money for vehicle repairs. He was charged with criminal attempted
capital murder. His bond was originally set at $60,000, but current jail
records now show his bond set at $150,000.
According to a police affadavit, the suspect is a
soldier in training on Fort
Bliss military base.
On Facebook Saturday, Justin Poole showed
pictures of his newborn daughter and recovering wife. On one photo of his wife,
he wrote: “My wife fought back so that her daughter could live. But she can not
see out of her eye still at all. And can’t see or hold her baby until she
recovers.”
Friends of the Poole
family have started a fundraising effort to raise the family at least $5,000.
Currently, the online fund has raised $5,983.
