US: Baby 'stolen' from mom's womb

PITTSBURGH: Authorities say a slain pregnant woman may have been alive and was drugged when a baby was ripped from her womb, allegedly by a woman who tried to pass the infant off as her own.

The eviscerated body of 18-year-old Kia Johnson was found bound with duct tape, and wrapped in garbage bags. Her partially decomposed remains were in the bedroom of Andrea Curry-Demus,

38, charged with homicide, unlawful restraint and kidnapping, officials said.

Authorities said Curry-Demus, who served prison time in the 1990s for snatching a 3-week-old baby girl from a hospital, took the baby boy to a Pittsburgh hospital and claimed that it was her own. Authorities said Johnson was 36 weeks pregnant.
