Worcester, Massachusetts - The boyfriend of the Massachusetts woman accused of kidnapping a baby girl who had been cut from her slain mother's womb said he was convinced he was the infant's father, and was stunned when police moved in on the couple.
Alex Dion, 27, of Worcester, Massachusetts, was with Julie Corey and the infant when she was arrested in New Hampshire. Dion was released after questioning.
"I am so confused. I don't know what to think. I thought I had a brand-new daughter," Dion said in an interview with the Boston Herald.
Dion said Corey told him she was pregnant shortly after a breakup in October.

The couple had dated on and off for about two years.
He said Corey told him on July 23 that she was taking the slain women, who was a friend, to the store.
She then called him several times later that night, saying she had gone into labour and her water had broken, Dion told the newspaper.
He said early on July 24 Corey called to say she had given birth to a baby girl at a Framingham hospital. Dion told the paper he called both their families with the news.
Corey, 35, was ordered held on $2 million bail in New Hampshire on Thursday, one day after being found with the 4-pound (1,8-kilogram) baby girl at a homeless shelter.
She is accused of kidnapping the infant carried by Darlene Haynes, a 23-year-old mother of three who was eight months pregnant and found dead Monday in her Worcester apartment.
Authorities said Haynes had head trauma, but an exact cause of death had not been determined. It was not until an autopsy that authorities discovered the foetus was missing.
"We were sitting in the car and we were talking, and the baby was in the back seat," Dion said, recounting the arrest.
"I look up and I see a gun in my face."
Dion said he was taken to a state police barracks, where he learned of the murder investigation.
