Daughter left mum to rot in bed for 'at least a year' so she could run her true crime blog
Elizabeth Drake, 40, was living with her 72-year-old mother when police responded to a call at their home after a delivery driver overheard the elderly woman 'yelling for help' A daughter who left her elderly mum to rot in bed for "at least a year" so she could run her true crime Facebook page has been jailed. Elizabeth Drake, 40, was living with her 72-year-old mother when police responded to a call at their Wisconsin home after a delivery driver overheard the elderly woman "yelling for help." Cops arrived at the house in December 2023 and approached Drake at the front door, who claimed her mum was fine. When an officer said they would need to check on her, Drake told them her mum's room was a bit "messy." After entering the home, the officer said the cluttered home had a "very obnoxious smell" that was "animal, garbage, urine, and feces." There were also "bugs all over the home." According to the complaint, items discovered also included "soiled diapers, garbage, clothes, pop cans and other miscellaneous items." The mum confessed to police that her daughter was "holding her prisoner and she wanted to get out of the house." Officers said Drake's mum had "bed sores, urine material stuck to her hair, and what looked like bug droppings on her." She told police that after breaking her leg the year before, Drake was "supposed to take care of her" but she had not been moved from the bed or used the bathroom for "at least a year." After being admitted to hospital, nurses said the mother had bed sores on her buttocks, back, legs and stomach. Drake agreed the home was in a "terrible condition" but claimed her mum "chose" to live like that. The mum informed police that Drake "ignores her cries for help due to it bugging her". The cruel daughter was busy running a local crime blog called Green Bay Crime Reports, which had around 164,000 followers. It has since been taken down. Drake was sentenced to a year in prison and ordered not to have any contact with her mother. She was also placed on extended supervision for three years. It comes after a woman was allegedly held captive inside a shed, buried alive and tortured with an "electrical cord" for two weeks by her boyfriend - before managing to escape. The victim, who escaped through the back of the shed and ran to a nearby neighbour for help, told call handlers she had been abused for weeks by 36-year-old Timothy Wood. "She was frantic. She was scared to death that he was going to find her and kill her," the neighbour said to FOX 10. "She had two black eyes, and then she had a cut right in here. She had a bruise on her head. She had a bruise on her leg." The neighbour took the woman inside and immediately called the police. "You could tell she hadn't been taken care of, hadn't showered. She was kind of, you know, dirty and stuff," the neighbour added. She was rushed to hospital for treatment.

Make sure everyone, including pets, stays hydrated. Get help: If your vehicle breaks down in extreme heat, call for assistance right away to reduce wait time, and run the AC. If the AC isn't working, roll down all windows. Wait safely: If the temperature inside your vehicle becomes too hot, everyone, including pets, should exit carefully and seek out or create a shaded area as far away from the travel lanes as possible. Be careful walking on the road surface, which can be hot enough to burn skin. Keep your shoes on and try to keep your pets' paws off the pavement. If you are stopped along the highway, raise the front hood and turn on hazard lights. Please keep in mind that parking in tall brush can start a fire. Check your vehicle: You can help avoid breakdowns and blowouts by making sure your vehicle is in good operating condition. Check your air conditioner and coolant levels, top off any vital engine fluids and make sure your battery is up to par. Check your tire pressure, as the combination of under inflated tires and hot pavement can lead to a blowout. MORE:

Christian Priest Crucified In US, Suspect Confesses He Had 14 More On List
New Delhi: The man accused of crucifying an elderly pastor in Arizona confessed to the crime in a jailhouse interview. The 51-year-old Adam Christopher Sheafe added that he had a longer list of religious leaders he intended to kill. In an interview with FOX 10, Sheafe claimed to have killed Pastor Bill Schonemann, 76, who was the leader of the New River Bible Chapel in New River, Arizona, in April. Schonemann, who was referred to as "Pastor Bill" in the neighbourhood, was discovered dead in his bed on April 28. His arms were pinned to the wall behind him and stretched wide, in the form of a crucifixion. According to Sheafe, the brutal attack was a part of a spiritual mission that he titled 'Operation First Commandment,' to punish religious leaders who he believed were deceiving followers. Sheafe told FOX 10 that he believed Christian churches were misguiding their members by encouraging them to follow Jesus, a false God, and that his goal was to crucify 14 more pastors or priests of no particular religion. Police apprehended Sheafe in the vicinity of the Chapel of the Holy Cross in Sedona, Arizona, where he intended to kill two priests. He is currently being held at the Coconino County Jail and has been charged with first-degree murder in Maricopa County. In his interview with True Crime Arizona on Monday, the 51-year-old suspect discussed the unsettling image, including the crown of thorns he claimed to have created from items he gathered in the woods and placed on pastor Schonemann's head. Sheafe said he had planned to follow a priest to his home in Phoenix after Easter services in order to kill him prior to the Schonemann murder. This was the first of 14 planned "executions" that would have taken place across the country. Following Schonemann's murder, Sheafe claimed to have travelled to Sedona with the intention of killing two more religious leaders. He eventually was found to be the suspect in a break-in, which prompted Sedona police to pursue him faster. Despite the gruesome crime, Adam Sheafe resolutely declined to offer an apology for the purported murder. He claimed that he was behaving in accordance with what he considered to be God's law and that he expected redemption.

Pastor's crucifixion murder suspect says on video he planned to kill 14 more
The man accused of brutally crucifying a rural Arizona pastor has not only admitted to the alleged crime, but said that he planned to kill more than a dozen other Christian leaders. Adam Sheafe, 51, told Fox 10 in an interview that he murdered Pastor Bill Schonemann, 76, head of the New River Bible Chapel in New River, Arizona. On April 28, Schonemann was found dead in his bed with his arms spread wide and pinned to the wall behind him. The bizarre display left the community reeling. Arizona Pastor Found Dead With Hands Pinned To Wall In Homicide At Home Sheafe's plan was to crucify 14 more Christian leaders of no particular denomination, he told FOX 10, ascribing his motive to a belief that Christian churches were leading their congregants astray by teaching them to follow Jesus, whom he says is a false God. He titled his mission "Operation First Commandment." Read On The Fox News App Sheafe was captured by police near the Chapel of the Holy Cross in Sedona, Arizona, where he planned to kill two priests, he said. Kansas Catholic Priest Was Shot 'Intentionally And With Premeditation,' Prosecutor Alleges "The day I was going to execute that priest, I tried getting into the back of his car. There was like a little lady on a bike that got in my way, and I was just going to get in the back seat and tell him to drive to his house," Sheafe said. He later defiantly refused to apologize for the alleged killing. In an interview with 12News, Sheafe explained further how he planned Schonemann's killing. "I saw that he had a Wednesday evening Bible study, so I sat there and waited for them to arrive, so that I could locate which one was the priest, and then I just followed him," Sheafe said. "And then I returned on Sunday to execute and crucify him to this wall." He also said he wanted to be executed. "Put me on death row, set the execution date for right now," Sheafe said. "The victims want it. The victim's families want it. I want it, and the taxpayers want it." Sheafe has been charged with first-degree murder in Maricopa County, but remains in the custody of the Coconino County Jail. The Maricopa County Attorney's Office told Fox News Digital that the case is under review, and that generally, any first-degree murder convict is subject to the death penalty. It is unclear whether he has an attorney, but Fox News Digital reached out to the public defender's article source: Pastor's crucifixion murder suspect says on video he planned to kill 14 more
