| Like James Stewart in Hitchcock's "Rear Window," Robert Amstadt watched the atrocity from his Milwaukee apartment in horror.
It was "the most evil thing I've ever seen," he later told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Amstadt had heard the telltale signs of a domestic disturbance -- voices rising in heated, passionate argument -- around 8:45 p.m. Saturday night. It was like any other fight between lovers, until he heard a woman scream, "Give me back my baby."
Curious, he rushed to the window only to find his view obscured by a patch of trees lining the large pond that residents of both complexes enjoyed. Before Amstadt turned away, a man carrying an infant walked out from between the trees and continued down an asphalt path toward the water.
A cluster of people followed the man in a bewildering parade, yelling "Don't go in the water."
"It was a hornet's nest of people moving around . . . crying and screaming," Amstadt told the Journal Sentinel.
Still, he didn't call the police -- he just watched until something strange happened.
One of the crowd members stepped forward and grabbed the bawling baby's arm. The man with the infant yanked it back and began bee-lining directly to the pond. Amstadt called 911.
The man holding the baby reached the water's edge while Amstadt was on the phone
