A 35-year-old woman was ordered held in lieu of $2 million cash bail at a New Hampshire jail as authorities continue to investigate the slaying of a Worcester woman who was found dead with her baby ripped from her body.
Julia Corey appeared via video link in Concord District Court to face a charge of being a fugitive from justice. Corey faces a charge of kidnapping in Massachusetts for allegedly taking the baby that was carved from the body of 23-year-old Darlene Haynes. Authorities have said the baby has been recovered and is in good health.
Wearing an orange prison jumpsuit, with a public defender by her side, Corey's image was beamed in from the Merrimack County jail.
Judge Gerard J. Boyle set a further hearing for Aug. 30. Boyle agreed to a prosecution request to seal a sworn statement by an officer supporting the charge against Corey after prosecutors argued that release of the affidavit could compromise the investigation.
Corey, an acquaintance of Haynes's, was arrested after she was questioned late last night by authorities in Plymouth, N.H., police said. The baby girl was brought to a New Hampshire hospital, where she remained under evaluation, the Globe reports this morning.
The baby was brought to Speare Memorial Hospital in Plymouth, N.H. by an ambulance at about 5:50 p.m Wednesday, hospital spokeswoman Michele Hutchins said this afternoon. The baby was checked out by an emergency room doctor and a pediatrician and found to be in good health. The hospital is calling her "Baby Jane Doe."
"She's had no visitors. And no calls," said Hutchins.
A spokesman for Haynes's family said this morning that they were breathing a sigh of relief.
"It's just a miracle that everything worked out as well as it did," said Karl Whitney, the uncle of 23-year-old homicide victim Darlene Haynes. "Right now, it's the best ending to a very sad and tragic situation."
The good news about the baby's recovery comes as the family is working out funeral arrangements for Haynes.
Corey was not charged in the homicide, but the investigation is continuing, Hazelhurst said. He said a male acquaintance was with Corey when she was taken into custody, but he has not been charged in the case.
The arrest was a quick turnaround for investigators who were initially baffled by the gruesome killing and abduction, and who had learned only Tuesday night - a day after the body was found - that the baby had been cut from Haynes’s womb when she was killed.
"I'm very amazed and happy that the Worcester Police Department were able to react so quickly," Whitney said.
