I'm halfway tempted to stop posting these stories about pregnant women being killed for their unborn babies. The latest case is from Pittsburgh. The suspect, 38-year-old Andrea Curry-Demus, is accused of murdering Kia Johnson, 18, for her little boy, who survives.
Police say Curry-Demus brought the baby to a hospital, claiming to be the mother, and when tests showed she wasn't, said that she bought the baby for $1K. Then officers found the younger woman's corpse in her home.
The authorities say Curry-Demus has a history related to this. She once stabbed another woman in an effort to steal her kid and also stole a baby from a hospital once.
Hat Tip: Many thanks, JUNGLE JIM!

So, one is only left to ask, after her criminal history why isn't she locked away somewhere?
