PITTSBURGH -- Authorities were weighing whether to file charges against the sister of a suspect charged with killing a pregnant woman and cutting a baby from her womb.

When police went to search Andrea Curry-Demus' Wilkinsburg apartment -- where the body of Kia Johnson was eventually found -- Curry-Demus' sister led them to a different unit, police said. Allegheny County police were conferring with the district attorney's office about possible charges against the sister, but no decision had been made as of Tuesday.

Curry-Demus, 38, is charged with homicide, kidnapping and related charges in Johnson's death and in obtaining the baby. She was being held at the Allegheny County Jail. It was not clear Monday if she had an attorney.

Curry-Demus and Johnson apparently met at the Allegheny County Jail last week while visiting different inmates, police said.

According to police, Curry-Demus initially told investigators that she paid a pregnant woman named Tina $1,000 for the baby. Curry-Demus was taken into custody on a child endangerment charge. Authorities found Johnson's remains Friday after reporters at the apartment building called police about a foul odor.

Johnson may have been alive and was possibly drugged when the baby was ripped from her womb, authorities said.

Authorities are awaiting toxicology tests, which are expected to take several weeks, to determine if Johnson had been drugged.

The baby is undergoing observation at West Penn Hospital. Johnson's family is fighting to gain custody of the child.

Visitations for Johnson is being held from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday at the Waters Funeral Home located in McKeesport. The funeral will be held the Trinity Church, also in McKeesport, on Friday.
