A Colorado Woman spent 14 MONTHS Faking Pregnancy Before Cutting Baby Out Of Woman She Contacted on Craigslist

Jurors have convicted a Colorado woman of cutting a stranger's baby from her womb in a gruesome attack that nearly killed the expectant mother.



Dynel Lane was found guilty of attempted first-degree murder, assault and unlawful termination of a pregnancy in the attack, which happened last March.

Prosecutors say Lane went to great lengths to convince others she was expecting a baby before luring Michelle Wilkins to her home with a Craigslist ad for maternity clothes.

She then hit and choked Wilkins before using two kitchen knives to cut out the unborn girl. Wilkins, who was 7-months pregnant, survived, but her baby died.

Just before the attack, Lane's boyfriend informed her he would leave her unless he got definitive proof she was pregnant due to the fact that she had been claiming she was with child for 14 months at that point.

Lane will be sentenced on April 29, and on her way out of court an emotional Wilkins said she will be there and 'speak then.'

She then added of Lane; 'It had just never entered my world view that someone could be so cruel and value life so little.'

'There is nothing ever in any shape or form that can remotely prepare you for something like this,' Wilkins said Tuesday afternoon.

'What has dominated my perspective consistently is disbelief. Words are not sufficient to describe it.'
Despite all this though, Wilkins somehow managed to stay calm and collected while she spoke about the woman who took away her unborn baby.

'Many have asked me how I feel about Dynel Lane. Early on I said I have forgiven her. It's part of who I am as a human being and Martin Luther King said it brilliantly. "We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love,"' said Wilkins.

'There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us.
I do not hate Dynel. But I am angry for all the pain she has caused. The deceit and all her selfishness.'

Wilkins later thanked the public for the outpouring of support she received after the tragedt.
'I wish to thank everyone for their attention, and the continuing messages, donations and expressions of love and encouragement. Your continued support allows me not only to survive this but also to thrive in the midst of a dark and trying time,,' she said.

'And yes, every dollar, every smile, every message, every prayer has been a comfort and a hug to me.
'Resolution doesn’t end with the case. There is still a lot of personal healing to do.'
