Woman found with baby denies role in mom’s death

WORCESTER, Mass.—An attorney for a woman accused of kidnapping a baby police said was cut from her mother’s womb said his client denies any involvement in the mother’s killing.

Julie Corey is being held in a New Hampshire jail on $2 million bail on fugitive from justice charges. She faces a kidnapping charge in Massachusetts.

Corey was arrested July 29 at a homeless shelter in New Hampshire with a baby girl whom police said belonged to Darlene Haynes.

Haynes’ body was found July 27 with her baby cut from her abdomen. No one has been charged in her killing.

Attorney Louis Aloise told the Telegram & Gazette of Worcester that Corey denied “any complicity” Haynes’ death.

Aloise declined comment on whether Corey still says the baby is her child.
