No Murder Charges in Death of Baby After Pregnant Woman Had Infant Cut Out of Her Stomach

Murder charges won't be filed against the woman accused of attacking a pregnant woman and cutting her baby out of her stomach, officials said Thursday.

Boulder County, Colorado, prosecutor Stanley Garnett said late Thursday night that murder charges would not be filed against 34-year-old Dynel Lane.

Officials did not disclose what charges they would be pursuing against the 34-year-old.

Lane is accused of luring 26-year-old Michelle Wilkins to her home with a Craigslist ad, then brutally attacking her before cutting out the baby she was carrying from her stomach. She  was arrested after driving to the hospital with the dead baby and claiming she had a miscarriage.

A 911 call released provided a disturbing account of Wilkins desperately calling authorities for help after the attack.

“Please,” the 26-year-old woman can be heard saying on the chilling call.

“She cut me in my stomach,” the victim, 7-months pregnant, added. “I’m afraid … please come. I’m bleeding out.”

Wilkins is expected to make a recovery following the attack. The baby did not survive.
