Trial begins in baby-cut-from-womb case

Dynel Lane went to extreme lengths to show family and friends that she was expecting a baby. She shared ultrasound images with her daughter and kept photos on her mobile phone of herself seemingly pregnant.

She arranged to meet her husband for a pre-natal appointment the same day that prosecutors say she cut open the belly of a pregnant stranger and removed the woman’s unborn baby girl, passing the child off as her own, before admitting the March 18, 2015 attack.

Michelle Wilkins, who was eight months pregnant, survived, but the unborn baby did not.
