I saw this story earlier.  This woman showed up at a hospital with a newborn baby with umbilical cord still attached.  She originally claimed it was hers, but soon “admitted” that she bought it for $1000.

And now this twist…

Body at home of woman who claimed baby buy

PITTSBURGH - A body was found Friday with its hands bound in the apartment of a Pittsburgh-area woman who arrived at a hospital with a newborn she falsely claimed was her own, authorities said.

The body was found in the Wilkinsburg home of 38-year-old Andrea Curry-Demus, police said. Authorities did not say whether the body was male or female.

Curry-Demus showed up at West Penn Hospital in Pittsburgh on Thursday with a newborn whose umbilical cord was still attached. Tests later determined it was not hers; Curry-Demus was in the county jail on a child endangerment charge.

Curry-Demus said she bought the baby for $1,000 after befriending a pregnant woman, police said. In 1991 she pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and received 10 years’ probation after stabbing a woman in a suspected plot to steal the woman’s infant.

The baby will remain at West Penn Hospital until authorities determine who the mother is, police said.

I had to re re read that a few times to understand it.

The person who wrote this artical sure put it together badly.


How distubing, but at least they still have her in custody… right….?

This is so scary.  Apparently there is a profile for this sort of criminal (that would try to steal a baby by inducing mom’s labor or cutting it out of her).

Yeah, I remember a number of years ago where a woman attacked a pregnant woman in a parking lot, cut her open with a car key, and stole the baby.  There are some people out there who really want to be parents who we probably really wouldn’t want to be in charge of so much as a hamster.

Well, it’s as good as confirmed that the body is the baby’s mum.

When all those pregnant women like Lacey Peterson kept turning up murdered, the news announced that murder is the number one cause of death among pregnant women.
