Michelle Wilkins(II)

On March 18, 2015, 7-month-pregnant Wilkins, 26, was brutally attacked by Dynel Lane, 35, who cut her fetus from her womb. Wilkins was attacked in the home of Lane, a mother of two girls herself, after she answered a Craiglist ad for free baby clothes for her unborn baby girl who she planned to name Aurora. When Wilkins arrived at Lane's Longmont, Colorado, home, she was hit over the head with a lava lamp, stabbed in the neck with a broken glass and choked until she lost consciousness. Lane then cut Wilkins's baby from her womb and left her dying in the basement. Wilkins locked the door, not knowing at the time that Lane was no longer in the house but at the hospital with the baby she had just cut out of Wilkins, having told her boyfriend David Ridley that it was her child and she had suffered a miscarriage. Wilkins had lost half her blood and could feel her own intestines when she called 911 to report the attack. Wilkins didn't learn until the next morning, after doctors were miraculously able to save her life, that she had lost her unborn daughter. Prosecutors claimed that for the past year, Lane had falsely told others that she was pregnant and planned to pretend that a girl was her miscarriage but her boyfriend noticed that the girl was alive, she later died. Lane was found guilty in attempted first-degree murder, two counts of first-degree assault, two counts of second-degree assault and unlawful termination of a pregnancy and sentenced to 100 years in prison. Carol DeHerrera, Lane's mother, said Lane never recovered from the accidental drowning death of her young son, Michael. Lane's desperation to have another child caused her to make this choice.
