Logansport woman who failed to report her mother's death and remains found in Denver home

A Logansport woman who failed to report her mother's death was arrested on warrants at a Denver home.

 

Troopers from the Indiana State Police Peru Post received information that Jaclyn Beebout, 41, of Logansport, who was wanted on two separate arrest warrants, was staying at a home on 367 E. Harrison Street in Denver.  The warrants were issued from Cass County. One warrant was for revocation of bond for possession of methamphetamine and an additional warrant for failure to report human remains.

 

Just after 2:00 am Wednesday Troopers Andrew Baldwin, Trooper Chad Babbs, and a Miami County Sheriff’s deputy went to the Denver home to serve the warrants. Beebout was taken into custody without incident.

 

She was incarcerated in the Cass County Jail.

 

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

 

About three weeks ago, Jaclyn Beebout told investigators that 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.
