LAWRENCEBURG, Ind. - The sister of a woman left sitting in a chair in her own waste for at least 3 weeks was indicted on Friday.
Vickie Holdcraft was indicted on one count of neglect of a dependent, and one count of reckless homicide, in the death of her sister, 61-year-old Priscilla Frieberger.
Aaron Negangard, the Dearborn County prosecutor, said, "The two sisters were living together in a home that appeared to be like something out of the TV show Hoarders."
Negangard said that Priscilla was morbidly obese and was left in a chair in the home in the 600 block of Wilson Creek Drive, for three weeks.
Eventually she called 911 for help and was taken to a hospital where she died in October.
