After Ellie Wilkins was brutally attacked by Dynel Lane — who cut her 7-month-old fetus, Aurora, from her womb — Wilkins spent five days in intensive care at Longmont United. The first thing she asked her then-boyfriend, Dan Ascik, was about their baby. Authorities later determined Aurora never took a breath after being removed from Wilkins’s uterus. Today, a photo of Aurora — taken by a detective — hangs in Wilkins’s Boulder home.
