The baby girl ’stolen’ from the womb has been found alive and well two days after her mother’s body was discovered in a wardrobe.
Darlene Haynes had been four weeks from giving birth when she was killed and her unborn daughter cut from her body.
Last night Miss Haynes’s former neighbour Julie Corey appeared in court by videolink from a New Hampshire prison after allegedly trying to pass off the infant as her own.
The disturbed that is Julie Corey, in cuffs.
The 35-year-old was remanded in custody on one charge of fleeing justice, pending further police investigations.
Corey was arrested at a homeless shelter in Plymouth, New Hampshire, after staff and friends became suspicious of her claim that she had just given birth to the little girl, whom she called Alida.
One member of staff said Corey was ‘obviously not a well woman’ and had become agitated when confronted.
‘She said a child had been taken from her before, and it’s not going to happen again,’ the staff member added.
Darlene Haynes, the mother killed for her baby/fetus.
The baby, who had already been named Sheila Marie by her excited mother, was under medical surveillance in hospital last night and was said by doctors to be in ‘fairly good health’.
A police spokesman said: ‘This was the best case scenario out of this tragedy, that we have a little girl who appears to be healthy.’
Sheila Marie was believed to have been cut from the womb six days previously in a grisly assault which came to light only on Monday when her mother’s corpse was found wrapped in a quilt and bundled in a wardrobe at her apartment in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Miss Haynes, 23, had not been seen since last Thursday, when neighbour Fran Oswell, 62, says she heard her crying out, ‘Leave me alone. Stop it’ and screaming in pain.
Miss Haynes had been friendly with Corey, who claimed to be expecting a baby of her own, which was due four weeks before Miss Haynes’s.
It was unclear yesterday how Corey’s pregnancy had ended - or, indeed, if there had ever been one.
On Wednesday, she turned up at the shelter in Plymouth after apparently going on the run with Sheila Marie and a male friend, Alex Dion, 27.
Police said Corey showed no physical signs of having given birth, as she claimed, and that she had been unable to breastfeed the child when asked.
Miss Haynes had three other children aged five, three and 18 months, all of whom were being raised by relatives prior to her death.
She was estranged from Sheila Marie’s father, Roberto Rodriguez, 24, with whom she had endured a violent relationship, even taking out a restraining order against him last month alleging that he had had ‘homicidal thoughts’ against her and had thrown her on to a glass coffee table.
But he told reporters after his ex-lover’s murder: ‘I’m devastated. What kind of monster would do that?’
Miss Haynes’ distraught aunt, Sandra Grandmaison, said that the safe discovery of Sheila Marie was ‘the best news we could have gotten’ after the tragedy of the family’s loss. The killer, she said, should spend the rest of their life in jail.
‘You’re taking about a poor little girl who will never get to know her mother,’ she said.
‘Darlene can never celebrate her children’s birthday, Christmas, graduation. It’s not fair. Her life was taken.’
The piece of shit to your left, Joseph Biedermann, fatally stabbed his neighbor Terrance Hauser last year, and Biedermann’s attorney Sam Adam Jr. argued that his client was acting in self-defense, saying Hauser had threatened him with unwanted sexual advances.
wtf?
The individual to the left, Steven Green, was arrested after he was discharged from the Army.
Lam Luong, to the left, was sentenced to death for the murders of his children by tossing them from an 80ft high bridge.
