3 pregnant teens still on run from law

AMERICAN FORK (AP) — Three pregnant teens who overwhelmed the caretaker of a maternity home with a frying pan, power cord and duct tape remained on the run, police said Friday.

The girls used the victim's credit card to immediately get a tank of gas Tuesday, but there was no evidence of it being used elsewhere, American Fork Police Sgt. Shauna Greening said.

"I don't know what their finances are," she said.

The teens, two 15 year olds and a 16 year old from Illinois, California and Texas, struck Jana Moody with a frying pan, then tied her and another pregnant girl and dashed in the woman's van, Greening said.

Moody's husband, Spencer Moody, said one of the girls told his wife: "You're a good person. We just need to do what we need to do." She was not seriously injured.

The couple's New Hope Maternity Home is a place for struggling teens to learn about prenatal care, adoption and parenting skills. They are sent by their families to get them away from drugs or bad relationships.
