The daughter and grandson of a woman they allegedly let die of hunger and thirst in her bed have another month to stew in jail before they see a judge again.
Judge Edward Burmilla set the next court date for Ilse Krone, 55, and Harold VanDuyne, 31, for Nov. 2.
Krone and VanDuyne both face charges of criminal neglect of an elderly person and financial exploitation of an elderly person in connection with the death of 91-year-old Catherine Bottino.
After Krone announced her mother's death in April, another relative called police and expressed concern that the dead woman had not been well cared for.
Investigators reportedly determined Bottino had been dead for much longer than Krone had claimed. The autopsy revealed she had succumbed to "inanition and dehydration due to elder neglect," or as Coroner Patrick O'Neil explained, she died from "lack of food and water."
On top of all of this, police said, Krone and VanDuyne took their matriarch for thousands of dollars before she died, siphoning money from her bank accounts.

More Jail Time Before Court
While they're in the can, maybe they should be fed on rat droppings.
ReplyDeleteIt's people like these that the professionals point to and claim that they must protect the elderly from their own family.
ReplyDeleteThis is a classic case where their statement rings true.
Most families take care of their loved ones and don't take advantage of them. And those stories usually don't make the papers.
i agree anon, if all the families were doing what these scumbags did we would need to build a prison the size of the state of California the news picks up the stories such as man bites dog not the usual but the unusual i am with you on throwing these disgusting people in an underground cage to rot
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be nice if they lost track of Ilse Krone and Harold VanDuyne and they remained in jail forever?
ReplyDeleteHow can they sleep after doing this to their own mother/grandmother? I am horrified.
