NECEDAH, Wis. - A sheriff's deputy discovered the remains of a 90-year-old woman on a toilet in a house she shared with a woman and two children, authorities said Friday.
According to the criminal complaint, Bernice Metz contacted the Juneau County Sheriff's Office on Wednesday and asked if a deputy could check on her 90-year-old sister, Magdeline Alvina Middlesworth. Metz said no one had heard from Middlesworth for some time.
When Deputy Leigh Neville-Neil arrived at the house, she encountered Lewis, also known as Sister Mary Bernadett, the complaint said. Lewis initially refused to allow the deputy to check on Middlesworth, telling her Middlesworth was on vacation and saying she had to check with her "superior" first.
When the deputy opened the last closed door, she smelled "decaying matter" and noticed something piled on what appeared to be a toilet, and Lewis told her it was Middlesworth's body, the complaint said.
The deputy ordered Lewis' children — a 15-year-old girl and a 12-year-old boy — out of the house because of the stench. Lewis and the children began crying hysterically outside.
Lewis told the deputy Middlesworth died about two months earlier, but God told her Middlesworth would come to life if she prayed hard enough. Full story HERE.
