Ellie Wilkins became the victim of one of the most brutal crimes in recent history when someone tried to abduct her fetus. And after the outcome where Dynel Lane was found guilty on all accounts for what she did to Wilkins, plus a decade of what Wilkins termed as “unfortunate sensationalism” of her story, she’s back to take control of her narrative and show people what life is like after PTSD.
In 2015, Wilkins was seven months pregnant. In a sit-down with People, Wilkins says that back then she was the type of person people would refer to as trusting and friendly. So when Lane — whom she met off Craigslist — suggested they meet at Lane’s house to pick up maternity clothes, Wilkins thought nothing sounded suspicious.
