The story of the Pennsylvania
woman who told police that she paid $1,000 for a baby has a taken a turn for
the worse. Tragically, it appears that the dark suspicions of some commenters to
my first story about Andrea Curry-Demus (pictured) were well founded: police have found a
woman's body in Curry-Demus’ apartment. A placenta was discovered nearby.
This is not the first time that Curry-Demus has attempted to
steal babies: In 1990, she stabbed a woman in a ploy to kidnap her infant. The
day after the stabbing, she took a baby out of Children’s Hospital and brought
the infant to her apartment. Police found the baby there the next day,
unharmed. Curry-Demus pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and reckless
endangerment, and was sentenced to 10 years’ probation, a sentence that, in
retrospect, was far too lenient. Curry-Demus has also been found guilty of
theft.
She will remain in jail unless she can post $10,000 bond and agrees to be examined by a psychiatrist.
