Dynel Lane Cuts Baby From Womb Of Pregnant Woman Answering Craigslist Ad: Cops

A Colorado woman has been arrested after allegedly cutting out a baby from a pregnant woman's womb.

Longmont woman, Dynel Lane, 34, was identified Thursday as the primary suspect in the sickening crime that has left a once-expectant mother in the hospital without her unborn child, the Times-Call News reports.

The victim, 26, went to Lane's home Wednesday afternoon in response to a Craigslist ad for baby clothing. The victim was seven months pregnant when Lane allegedly beat and stabbed the woman after she arrived at the home.

"This is a tragic case for a mother right now," Longmont Police Department spokesman Jeff Satur said, according to the Associated Press. "She came by this house. She was attacked, and her baby was removed from her."

Officers who responded to the home said they could hear a woman yelling for help. The victim was taken to the hospital, and is expected to recover after undergoing surgery.

A short time after the victim arrived at the hospital, Lane also came to the hospital with her husband and the victim's deceased baby, police said.

Lane allegedly told hospital staff and her husband that the baby's death was the result of her own miscarriage. The husband is not being considered a suspect.

According to online records, Lane was a certified nurse's aid. Her license expired in 2012.

Satur told the Times-Call that Lane has two children. She has been charged with attempted first-degree murder and child abuse resulting in death, according to online records.
