Letter to the Des Moines Register
February 15, 2000
by Anne Wood
On Feb. 15, my world was devastated by the conviction of my
dear friend, Heidi Anfinson, of second-degree murder in the death of her 2
week-old son, Jacob. Never for one minute since Jacob’s death have I, my
husband Jack, our children, the family or friends of Heidi’s believed what
happened to Jacob was anything but an accident.
A doting mother with a loving, stable relationship with her
husband, the unyielding support of family and friends does not suddenly turn
into some kind of raging monster who kills her beautiful baby boy.
The Heidi I know wanted baby Jacob. She adored her son. I
saw this with my own eyes. There was no justice served, only more tears and
heartache.
