I guess he assumed no one would notice?
A Pace, Fla. man is in jail after deputies discovered his mother’s months-old remains on his living room couch, according to a sheriff’s office arrest report.
On May 13, a deputy was dispatched to a residence in to check on the welfare of 81-year-old Joyce Willis. Willis’ son, Michael Eugene Sticken, 60, had reportedly been rebuffing family members’ attempts to call or visit his mother since January.
When the deputy arrived at the residence he immediately noticed a foul odor. Upon entering the house, he found two couches pushed together with blankets piled on top. Under the blankets, the deputy found a female who was so badly decomposed as to be unrecognizable.
She had been dead for four months, but still getting social security, which Sticken was withdrawing and keeping for himself.
