Autopsies were ordered after the skeletal remains of a 75-year-old woman and her 41-year old daughter were found Tuesday tucked into beds in a home in Lacy Lakeview, north of Waco. A family member who came into town from out of state made the gruesome discovery Tuesday after getting no response at the door at the home in the 200 block of Avenue G and crawling through a window, Lacy Lakeview police Chief John Truehitt said Friday. Truehitt identified the women as Chiyo Mahon and her daughter, Kaurie Mahon. The two had been dead for months, he said... A second daughter, who visited the home to care for the two women, did not report the deaths because she believed her mother would not have wanted her to, he said... Officers questioned the woman, but nothing they found led them to believe anything criminal was involved, Truehitt said.

No foul play. Move along. Nothing to see.
Good thing the rats ate the evidence.
What were there relationships with the Clintons?
I’m thinking the second daughter must be a little “touched”.
Nothing criminal?
How about the failure to report the deaths to the Social Security Administration?
I am assuming that payments continued to be made to these two women after their deaths.
Did this sister have access to these women’s bank accounts?
It’s a pretty common story. Mom dies and her care taker keeps spending the money.
I’m thinking the second daughter was living off of her mother’s social security checks.
So was she spending Mom’s SS check or is the money sitting in the bank untouched?
Who’s to say they weren’t poisoned, if there are only skeletal remains to examine. Bizarre.
well, why not? shes dead, and dead people don't eat much.
I was thinking they both died of CO poisoning, but then I read about the care taker....
Yeah, mom would have wanted me to have that money.
Reminds me of the joke. You know your wife is dead. When the sex is the same but the dirty dishs continue to pile up. This is as far off the politically correct reservation as I can get without vulgarities. Sometimes I come out here as a reality check
I thought the same thing.
With skeletal remains there is no way to verify that. Without blood you can’t detect CO poisoning.
But it seems odd that two women of such different ages would die at the same time.
But then I don’t know if they will be able to tell how far apart the women died either. One or the other could have died months earlier than the other.
Officers questioned the woman, but nothing they found led them to believe anything criminal was involved, Truehitt said.

What is it about Waco area law enforcement.
I’ll bet the Social Security checks were cashed.
.
Bet they voted too.
The examiner or investigator should look at the furnace or water heater and make sure it is in proper working order or ‘modified’. CO gas could kill both and in their sleep that is why they are still in bed. It could still be a possibility.
Or the care taker done them both in somehow
Who knows until an investigation and autopsy is complete, if one could be.
I wouldn’t dismiss forensics so glibly. There is LOTS they can do.
A husband and wife are out one night and she sees a guy drinking heavily at the bar, and starts giving him the stink eye.
Hubby asks whats up.
She says, ten years ago I was dating him, but I got bored and dumped his ass.
Husband says, O my god he’s still celebrating!
I agree with you on the forensics——some of the things they do today boggles the mind.
.
These days it's automatic deposit, and a caretaker would have the debit card...
Utilities would also come out of the bank, automatically, so there are bodies in houses that have been there for years...
Without blood or soft tissue, a lot of things will be undetectable.
Depending on the age of the furnace a number of things could be done temporarily that there would be no way to discover later. (close a flu damper for instance).
But on the subject of CO and the time of year. Everyone that heats with gas or wood should have a CO detector in the house. Mine saved me and my family.
My step daughters friends nearly died because they didn’t have one.
