Cass County woman arrested in mother's death

No one is sure just when Cynthia Newman died in Cass County, but her daughter has been arrested in her death.

 

Jaclyn Beebout says her mother was alive at Thanksgiving, but she's not sure after that. But police in Logansport arrested Beebout after finding the 65-year-old's decaying body in a chair in her home. Investigators say the body had been there so long bones were starting to show, and it looked like some pets had gnawed at the body.

 

Beebout admits to not reporting her mother's death as she told police she didn't want to be alone. Beebout is now in jail and awaiting charges.
