Massachusetts ? A baby girl who was cut from her mother’s womb has been found alive and two people were arrested in the woman’s killing, police said late Wednesday.

The girl, whose mother’s body was found Monday in a closet at her Worcester apartment, appeared to be in “fairly good health” at a New Hampshire hospital, Worcester Police Sgt. Kerry Hazelhurst said.

Julie Corey, 35, of Worcester, Mass., and a male companion were arrested in Plymouth, N.H., where police found them with the child. Friends had told police they were suspicious of Corey’s claims she had given birth.

Corey was charged as a fugitive from justice. She was in custody and could not be reached for comment late Wednesday. Police did not know whether she had a lawyer.

The baby’s mother, Darlene Haynes, was eight months pregnant. Haynes’ body was found by her landlord, William Thompson, who said a “horrifying smell” led him to her apartment, where he found her body wrapped in bedding in a closet. Her death was ruled a homicide.

Police said the 23-year-old had apparently been dead for several days, and that she hadn’t contacted family or friends since Thursday. It was not until an autopsy Tuesday that authorities discovered the fetus was missing.
