The baby taken from the womb of a murder victim has been found alive, and a female suspect has been taken into custody.
Police identified the suspect as Julie A. Corey, 35, an acquaintance of Darlene Haynes, 23, whose body was discovered in her New Hampshire apartment on Monday, The Boston Globe reports.
Haynes had been eight months pregnant at the time of her death, medical authorities said, and her unborn baby was missing.
Her body was found after her landlord went to investigate reports of a strong odour coming from her apartment, TV station WCVB-TV reported.
Haynes body was found dumped in a closet with her abdomen cut open and her unborn child removed. She was wrapped in bedding and had been dead for several days, police said.
Detective Captain Edward J. McGinn Jr said the autopsy indicated Haynes suffered head injuries, Associated Press has reported.
Haynes has a one-year-old daughter who is safe with relatives.
