En kvinna i Illinois har åtalats för att ha dolt sin äldre grannes död i över tre år, efter att hon påstås ha hittat kroppen och därefter fortsatt att använda offrets bankkonton.

Gena English-Wheat, 59, åtalades för att ha dolt ett dödsfall och greps den 22 februari efter att polisen upptäckt 86-åriga Lillie Prindles mumifierade kvarlevor i hennes hem i Springfield. Polisen utförde en kontroll den 6 november 2025 efter oro från Prindles familj och fann kroppen i en fåtölj i vardagsrummet, täckt av filtar. Utredare har fastställt att Prindle avled omkring augusti 2022, baserat på oförändrade föremål i bostaden, såsom utgången mat och en kalender från det året.
