Andrea Curry-Demus, 38, was charged with homicide, unlawful restraint, and kidnapping. She is accused of killing Kia Johnson, 18, and stealing her baby. Kia partially eviscerated body was found tied up with her uterus cut open inside Curry-Demus apartment. Her placenta was found at the scene. Dental records were used to identify her. Johnson’s body “was in a state of moderate decomposition” and the woman had been dead for about two days, Medical Examiner Karl Williams said in a written statement. Johnson’s hands and feet were bound by duct tape. The cause of death remains undetermined, Williams said. Drugs were found at the scene, and authorities are awaiting toxicology results to determine whether the woman was sedated, he said. It’s unclear whether the woman was alive when the infant was taken, he added.

Andrea had a history of attempting to steal babies. She told her family and friends she was pregnant. Police believe both met during visitation at the Allegheny County Jail.  Curry-Demus showed up at the hospital Thursday with a newborn that still had the umbilical cord attached, police said. Tests later proved that she was not the mother. The baby is doing well.
