WITI-TV, JEFFERSON CO. — Jefferson County sheriff’s officials say they’ve arrested a man they believe is responsible for the murder of a real estate agent who was found dead in the house she was showing him.

Sheriff’s Detective Sergeant Lawrence Lee says the man was arrested after he was brought in for questioning Wednesday night. He has not been formally charged.

Lee says 71-year-old Ann Nelson met the man at the rural house in the town of Oakland. When officers were called to check on the property, Nelson was found dead in a smoke-filled bedroom next to a smoldering mattress.

Investigators say they determined Nelson died of smoke inhalation, but she also had severe blunt force trauma to the head. Lee says some type of weapon was recovered, but he declined to be more specific.

The man is being held in the Jefferson County Jail and is expected in court Thursday afternoon.

Hospital Removes Toilet Seat From Womans Rear After Sitting in Bathroom for 2 Years

Sheriff recommends charging boyfriend in toilet case

NESS CITY, Kan. | The sheriff is recommending charges in the case of a western Kansas woman who sat on her boyfriend’s toilet for so long that her body became stuck to the seat.

Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said Thursday he asked the county attorney to file charges against Kory McFarren for mistreatment of a dependent adult. The county attorney will decide whether any charges are brought.

News about the case made Internet headlines around the world and left many of the town’s roughly 1,500 people incredulous.

“The unfortunate thing is this truly is a case of two people, in my opinion, with diminished mental capacity,” Whipple said.

McFarren did not answer his door Thursday, but later called The Associated Press and said he was done giving media interviews. He said he had done nothing wrong.

“The only thing I am guilty of is I didn’t get her help sooner,” he said.

Angela Nellany didn’t admit that she tried to kill her estranged husband with a can of wasps. Friday, she pleaded no contest to assault with a deadly weapon.

The Riverbank woman was articulate and polite, saying “yes, ma’am” and “I do understand” as she waived her right to a trial in Stanislaus County Superior Court. Judge Nancy Ashley handed down a two-year sentence that likely will keep the middle-age mother of two behind bars for six more months.

The resolution is a far cry from the attempted murder and solicitation to murder charge the district attorney’s office filed after Nellany was arrested one year ago, when she was accused of leaving a soda can full of wasps in her husband’s truck and then hiring a hit man to finish the job.

Deputy District Attorney Shawn Barlow said a plea deal is a good compromise, because 12 jurors could have found Nellany guilty of attempted murder, sending her to prison for seven years to life, or they could have concluded that the case was little more than a family dispute gone awry.

“I think there were equal risks on both sides,” he said.

Defense attorney Martin Baker declined to comment.
