DNA shows slain woman was mother of infant

WORCESTER, Mass.—Authorities say a pregnant Massachusetts woman whose child was cut from her womb was the mother of an infant found with a 35-year-old woman accused of kidnapping the baby girl.

Worcester District Attorney Joseph Early Jr. said Wednesday that DNA testing confirmed the relationship.

Early said no new charges are pending against Julie Corey, who was arrested July 29 in a homeless shelter in New Hampshire with the infant.

She is being held on $2 million bail on a fugitive from justice charge. Her case comes up Friday in Concord, N.H., district court.

Corey faces a kidnapping charge in Massachusetts. Early said the investigation continues in the death of 23-year-old Darlene Haynes, whose body was found in her Worcester apartment on July 27. No one has been charged in her killing.
