Sheriff: Woman Sat on Toilet for 2 Years

By ROXANA HEGEMAN – 1 hour ago

 

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Authorities are considering charges in the bizarre case of a woman who sat on her boyfriend's toilet for two years — so long that her body was stuck to the seat by the time the boyfriend finally called police.

 

Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said it appeared the 35-year-old Ness City woman's skin had grown around the seat. She initially refused emergency medical services but was finally convinced by responders and her boyfriend that she needed to be checked out at a hospital.

 

"We pried the toilet seat off with a pry bar and the seat went with her to the hospital," Whipple said. "The hospital removed it."

 

Whipple said investigators planned to present their report Wednesday to the county attorney, who will determine whether any charges should be filed against the woman's 36-year-old boyfriend.

 

"She was not glued. She was not tied. She was just physically stuck by her body," Whipple said. "It is hard to imagine. ... I still have a hard time imagining it myself."

 

He told investigators he brought his girlfriend food and water, and asked her every day to come out of the bathroom.

 

"And her reply would be, `Maybe tomorrow,'" Whipple said. "According to him, she did not want to leave the bathroom."

 

The boyfriend called police on Feb. 27 to report that "there was something wrong with his girlfriend," Whipple said, adding that he never explained why it took him two years to call.

 

Police found the clothed woman sitting on the toilet, her sweat pants down to her mid-thigh. She was "somewhat disoriented," and her legs looked like they had atrophied, Whipple said.

 

"She said that she didn't need any help, that she was OK and did not want to leave," he said.

 

She was reported in fair condition at a hospital in Wichita, about 150 miles southeast of Ness City. Whipple said she has refused to cooperate with medical providers or law enforcement investigators.

 

Authorities said they did not know if she was mentally or physically disabled.

 

Police have declined to release the couple's names, but the house where authorities say the incident happened is listed in public records as the residence of Kory McFarren. No one answered his home phone number.

 

The case has been the buzz Ness City, said James Ellis, a neighbor.

 

"I don't think anybody can make any sense out of it," he said.

 

Ellis said he had known the woman since she was a child but that he had not seen her for at least six years.

 

He said she had a tough childhood after her mother died at a young age and apparently was usually kept inside the house as she grew up. At one time the woman worked for a long-term care facility, he said, but he did not know what kind of work she did there.

 

"It really doesn't surprise me," Ellis said of the bathroom incident. "What surprises me is somebody wasn't called in a bit earlier."

No more bean burritos for her.

I've been there

 

Ness City, not the crapper for two years

 

They should advertise this. Something to set themselves apart from the hundred other indistinguishable farm-towns in western Kansas

Screw the town, the maker of the toilet seat should advertise.

 

"So comfortable, you could spend 2 years going nuts on it"

Okay, that seriously made me burst out laughing.

 

I read about this story in the newspaper the other day, but the article was lacking some information; like the fact that she had been there for two years. As I read it, the article only said she'd been there for a while, and got stuck; never explained that it was 2 years in the making.

 

At least this is better then that fat woman who got stuck to her couch; this woman at least has the excuse of being batshit crazy.

I noticed that the story didn't give any real description of the woman. Do you think it's safe to assume that the reason she got stuck was because she was morbidly obese?
