The next day, Goodson brought a dead fetus that had reached six months gestation to a Holdenville hospital. Goodson claimed to be the mother, but investigators determined she could not have given birth, and she was taken into custody, authorities said. Goodson had falsely told several people that she was pregnant, going back as far as 10 months, Yeager said. Her husband believed she was expecting, and a shower was thrown for her, he said. However, investigators have not yet settled on a motive in the slaying, the sheriff said. Weve got a few more questions we havent got answered yet, he said. Goodson and Simpson had known each other for about a month after being introduced by family members, he said. Oklahoma courts have ruled that murder charges can be filed in the killing of a fetus if the fetus was viable - that is, if it could survive outside the womb. Under the states abortion law, a fetus is presumed viable after the 24th week.
