Uma mulher de Illinois foi acusada de ocultar a morte de sua vizinha idosa por mais de três anos, após supostamente encontrar o corpo e continuar a acessar as contas financeiras da vítima.

Gena English-Wheat, de 59 anos, foi acusada de ocultação de cadáver e presa em 22 de fevereiro, depois que a polícia descobriu os restos mortais mumificados de Lillie Prindle, de 86 anos, em sua residência em Springfield. Os policiais realizaram uma verificação de bem-estar em 6 de novembro de 2025, após preocupações da família de Prindle, e encontraram o corpo em uma poltrona na sala de estar, coberto por cobertores. Os investigadores determinaram que Prindle havia falecido por volta de agosto de 2022, com base em itens inalterados, como alimentos vencidos e um calendário daquele ano encontrados na residência.
