A Craigslist ad for baby clothes turned into a nightmare when Michelle Wilkins walked into the home of a woman faking a pregnancy and barely made it out alive. This is the chilling true story of Dynel Lane, delusion, and a crime that shocked the nation.

When Michelle Wilkins answered a Craigslist ad for free baby clothes, she expected a kind gesture from a fellow soon-to-be mom. What she got instead was a nightmare. One soaked in lies, blood, and betrayal.

In this episode, we talk about the horrifying story of Dynel Lane, a woman who faked a pregnancy so long, she decided to steal a real one. From carefully crafted deception to a brutal attack in a quiet Colorado home, this case is as twisted as they come.

We’ll break down Michelle’s gut-wrenching 911 call, the red flags Dynel’s boyfriend ignored (and the ones he didn’t), and how a delusion so deep ended in a courtroom instead of a nursery.

Dark, disturbing, and deeply real—this is the story of a woman who couldn’t let go of a lie, and the strong, unbreakable survivor who lived to tell the truth.

Lock your doors and lower your expectations for humanity. I’m Janet, and this… is Talks at Midnight.
