The Dark Side Of Craigslist

Buyer Beware

In 2015, Michelle Wilkins was an expectant mother looking for maternity clothes. She found a good deal on Craigslist and was soon on her way to meet Dynel Lane, who was selling the clothes. After chatting with Lane for a bit at her house, Wilkins was led to the basement where the clothes supposedly were. Suddenly, Lane attacked Wilkins by smashing a lamp over her head and using the broken glass to cut her throat.

Wilkins put up a struggle to save the life of her unborn baby, but Lane took a kitchen knife and began to cut Wilkins’s baby from her womb. Lane left Wilkins to bleed to death, but fortunately, Wilkins was conscious enough to call 911. She was taken to the hospital and Lane was sentenced to 48 years in prison.
