Olathe ? Kathy Klinginsmith recalled the snowy afternoon of Jan. 9, 1985, when a man named John Osborne came to her home to take Lisa Stasi and her infant daughter, Tiffany, away.

Osborne said nothing, but stared at Klinginsmith while Stasi put on her coat, gathered a baby bag and left.

That was the last time Klinginsmith or relatives saw Lisa and Tiffany Stasi.

Klinginsmith testified Friday that Osborne was the man who stands trial for the first-degree murder of Stasi, John E. Robinson Sr.

Robinson, 58, of Olathe, is also charged with capital murder in the deaths of Suzette Trouten, 27, of Newport, Mich., and Izabela Lewicka, 21, a former Purdue University student. Their bodies were found in barrels next to a storage shed on Robinson’s 16.5-acre property near LaCygne, about 60 miles south of Kansas City.

DNA evidence has linked the victims to Robinson’s mobile home in Linn County.

Robinson also faces three murder charges in Missouri.

Authorities never have found Stasi’s body. It was later learned that baby Tiffany was raised by Robinson’s brother and sister-in-law through an illegal adoption Robinson was alleged to have arranged.

Robinson is charged with interference with parental custody for arranging the adoption. Don and Helen Robinson, who raised the girl, were scheduled to testify Monday when the trial resumes.

Klinginsmith had watched the baby for Stasi the night before they disappeared. Klinginsmith said the baby was bathed and fed. Stasi was to leave the next morning for Chicago but was having second thoughts.

Robinson allegedly was arranging for Stasi to get a job and complete her high school education. He was keeping her at a hotel in Overland Park before their trip. Klinginsmith said she told Stasi to be cautious about going with Robinson.

“I found it odd that a person of his age would put a young girl up in a hotel in Overland Park,” she said. “I wasn’t sure what his intentions were.”

Stasi, 19, was married to Carl Stasi, 23. Neither had any money or stable jobs and the marriage was in shambles when Carl Stasi re-enlisted in the Navy in December 1984 and was at Great Lakes Naval Base in Chicago.

Carl Stasi was told by his mother that his wife was missing. Later, his mother called and said she had left with another man.

Betty Stasi, Carl’s mother, said she received a phone call from a hysterical Stasi while she was staying at the hotel.

Stasi said “they” told her Betty Stasi was going to take baby Tiffany because she was an unfit mother.

The only other contact she had from Stasi was a typed letter weeks later saying she had left the area to start a new life.
