In a recent gruesome attack, seven months pregnant Longmont, Colorado woman Michelle Wilkins was stabbed and had her fetus ripped from her stomach. Responding officers, Billy Sawyer and Phil Piotrowski were completely unprepared for what they saw. Wilkins was covered from head to toe in blood. The attack took place after Wilkins replied to a Craigslist ad selling used baby clothes. After she was stabbed, Wilkins dialed 911 for help. The scene was too overwhelming for Officer Piotrowski whom had to step out for a minute to collect himself. The officer was impressed by Wilkins endurance, saying "she is probably one of the most strongest people I've ever had the pleasure to meet." The suspect was 34 year old former nurse aide, Dynel Lane. She has been arrested, under $2 million dollar bail. There is a pending murder charge on her, depending on if her killing the seven month old female fetus constituted murder. Wilkins family thanks the brave first responders whom saved Michelle's life.
What happened in Longmont, Colorado and to the Wilkins family was an absolute tragedy. The unnecessary taking of life is unfathomable and it is hard to imagine what the Wilkins family, and especially Michelle are going through right now. I believe the American justice system will dispense a fair punishment on Dynel Lane for the crime she committed. I hope, that with time, Michelle Wilkins will be able to cope with what happened on that day.
