Wilkinsburg police and city officials have gone into no comment mode about the murder of Kia Johnson. Wilkinsburg Police Chief Ophelia "Cookie" Coleman is even on vacation. I live in a city that has dealt with a very high profile murder of a pregnant woman. And I can tell you this the police chief would probably have postponed his vacation, especially when the Chief Coleman is just at home. (note to reporters:it is rude to just show up on her porch when she is on vacation) Of course people are going to have questions when police just take the word of a suspects relative, in this case Brooke Curry.
More is coming out about Kia Johnson. She worked at a local McDonald's, attended church, helped feed the homeless, and planned to join the Air Force. She was a young woman with plans and goals.
The victim's cousin, Tereka Nesbit, told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that Johnson told an aunt about two weeks before she disappeared that she had met a couple of women in the jail's visiting area and had gone to their homes after a jail visit.
"There's no question she's trusting," said Nesbit, 33, of McKeesport. "She was so kind and sweet." She said a grown man would not have been able to lure her cousin, "but a friendly woman would. She would have been thrilled to talk to anybody about (her) baby."
Her son remains hospitalized.
