Colorado Woman Sentenced To 100 Years In Prison

Remember the story of a Colorado woman who cut open an eight month old pregnant woman with a kitchen knife and brought out her baby, after luring her into her home? Well here is an update on the case.

According to RT news, The Colorado woman who lured an expectant mother to her home under the false pretense of giving her free maternity and baby clothes, only to cut her baby from her womb, has been sentenced to 100 years in prison.


Dynel Lane, 35, was given the lifelong sentence Friday for attacking and butchering Michelle Wilkins, 27, and killing her unborn baby girl in March 2015.

Wilkins, who miraculously survived the attack, was in court when the sentence was handed down by Boulder County District Court Judge, Maria Berkenkotter.

Lane lured the seven months pregnant Wilkins to her Longmont home via an ad on Craigslist promising free maternity and baby clothes.

The court heard how the two chatted for about an hour before Lane launched an attack on Wilkins, punching and choking the mother-to-be before cutting the fetus from her womb using two kitchen knives.

Lane plotted to steal the baby and convince her husband, David Ridley, it was theirs after faking a pregnancy for months, according to Reuters.
