No Murder Charges to be Filed
Authorities say there's no evidence a baby cut from her mother by a stranger was alive outside the womb; the District Attorney's office will not charge Dynel Lane with the murder of Michelle Wilkins' baby.
Boulder County Coroner Emma Hall said Friday investigators found no trauma or injuries to the baby girl.
Under Colorado law, a person can be charged with murdering a baby only if there's evidence the baby survived apart from its mother.
Authorities in Denver are reviewing the case files on the death of Lane's toddler son back in 2002 in light of her recent actions to ensure that it really was an accident.
