In 2009, this story came out, shocking the nation and the world. A woman, Darlene Haynes, was found dead in her apartment in Worchester, MA. The medical examiner then determined that the woman was eight-months pregnant and the child had been removed from her womb before or after the woman was killed.
This is not unique to this case. Google “baby stolen from womb” and you will be bombarded with results. There are stories from all over the nation and they’re all equally horrifying. In most of these cases, a paternity test becomes necessary to establish guardianship of the child, especially if the baby’s parents were never married.
