Julie A. Corey!

Julie A. Corey has been arrested in the Darlene Haynes (picture above) baby case.

Julie A. Corey’s arrest in the Darlene Haynes comes days after LALATE first told you that a person was being sought in the hideous crime. Haynes had been murdered and her baby ripped from her womb. Now the child has been found alive and healthy with Corey arrested.

As reported earlier this week on LALATE, Darlene Haynes, 23, was found in her closet insider her home in Worcester. Her body had decayed to such an extent that investigators had problems identifying even her gender. When they did, they determined Haynes was pregnant and had been murdered and had her uterus cut open, her baby girl stolen.

Her aunt had told the Boston Herald:

“We want our baby back. We want our grandchild back, and we want to know why.”

Julie A. Corey is reportedly described as acquaintance. Corey is 35 but has not yet been charged with a homicide. A male was also taken in but not charged.

Worcester Police Chief Gary Gemme issued the following statement:

“The entire Worcester community should be extremely grateful for the tireless effort exerted by the men and women of the detective division in working around the clock to investigate this case.

“Their collective efforts in developing information resulted in the swift location of the missing infant and the obtaining of critical medical attention.’”
