I can't believe this lady was walking free all this time. If you haven't heard about her, I'm about to tell you. Andrea Curry-Demus, 38, of Wilkinsburg, is charged in the death of Kia Johnson, 18, of McKeesport. Curry-Demus is accused of taking the baby boy to a Pittsburgh hospital and claiming it was her own. Johnson's body was found Friday in Curry-Demus's apartment. The body was positively identified through dental records, Allegheny County Medical Examiner Karl Williams said Sunday.Police on Friday arrested Andrea Curry-Demus of Wilkinsburg and charged her with homicide, unlawful restraint and kidnapping. She was taken into custody after showing up at a hospital with a baby, still covered in afterbirth, wrapped in a blanket. After initially lying to police and saying it was her baby, she later claimed that she had bought the newborn boy for $1,000, The Associated Press reports.
Detectives found the decomposing body of Kia Johnson, the baby’s 18-year-old mother, in Curry-Demus' apartment on Friday following complaints from neighbors about a foul odor emanating from inside, according to Allegheny County Police Superintendent Charles Moffatt. Johnson had been dead for about two days, Medical Examiner Karl Williams said.
Police said Sunday that the two likely met during visitation at the Allegheny County Jail. Police believe they were there at the same time to visit different inmates.
A little history on this psychopath; In 1990, Curry-Demus, then known as Andrea Curry, was accused of stabbing a woman in an alleged plot to steal the woman's infant. A day after that stabbing, Curry-Demus snatched a 3-week-old baby girl from a hospital. The baby was found unharmed with Curry-Demus at her home the next day. Curry-Demus pleaded guilty in 1991 to various charges from both incidents and got three to 10 years in prison, according to court records. She was paroled in August 1998.
When will the powers that be stop setting career criminals free? Arrest after arrest after arrest, these people still remain free and roam our streets where are children play and where we as law abiding citizens live our lives. Let's hope that this is the nail in the coffin for this chick.
