Heidi Matheny, 35, was arrested for the murder of her 93-year-old grandmother, Alice Matheny.
The granddaughter allegedly admitted she took her grandmother to a doctor’s appointment, where a doctor told them the elderly woman needed to be in a nursing home, something they could not afford and insurance would not cover, according to the Eaton, Ohio, police report.
Heidi said they left the appointment and enjoyed ice cream together.
Back at the house, Heidi allegedly described to officers how she walked up behind her grandmother while the 93-year-old woman was doing dishes and pushed her head into the sink, holding her there "until the bubbles stopped," according to the police report cited by WDTN.
The 35-year-old allegedly said she then brought her grandmother to the bathtub to make sure she was dead.
"It’s nothing that she did," Heidi allegedly said during a police interview. "She’s not – She’s the perfect freaking grandma."
"According to the confession, she was just tired of taking care of a grandmother," Eaton Police Division Chief Steven Hurd said. "It’s difficult not to take this to heart when you have a 35-year-old granddaughter who allegedly drowned her grandmother of 93 years of age in the bathtub."
After the deed was done, Heidi left the apartment through a window and walked to the nearby sheriff’s office.

Definitely guilty!
Besides, this was a private matter between her, her grandmother, and the lake.
The Government need to stay out of our bodies of water.
I guess they’ll throw the book at her AND the kitchen sink.
Her rationalization makes little sense.
Either she’s a genuine moron or there’s more to it than her idiotic explanation.
It is extremely diffi clt to believe she’s worried about nursing home expenses when she then turns herself into law enforcement, knowing its jail for her.
To avoid nursing home expenses, instead leaving everything amd going to jail on a enhanced murder charge (of elderly victim)?
Not buying it.
What a moron.
Contact the state’s elder affairs department. She’s wouldn’t be the first elder with no money in a nursing home.
It’s not the Ritz Carlton…but you can get help.
May she live a long life (most of it in prison) and spend her last years infirm and alone.
Makes no sense. How much in need of unusual care could the Grandmother be, if she were standing there doing dishes?
And aren’t there programs for elderly who can’t afford nursing homes?
If her grandmother didn’t;t have any money state Medicaid would have paid for it. This woman did not explore any options at all, just decided to kill her on the spot with no thinking about any of it.
Heidi is a sicko and needs to be locked up asap
62% of nursing home residents nationally are on Medicaid.
In Ohio it’s 75%.
All she had to do is get on Medicaid.
There’s got to be a lot more to this story.
Far more men than women are executed.
Heidi Matheny should be executed to even up the numbers.
For the record I did take care of my grandmother for a number of years. I never once thought of harming her.
Beating a couple of my other relatives with a clue stick yes, but never her.
The Republicans will pay a political price in 2024 if they pursue charges against this woman who was merely excising her right to nonagenarian freedom, and many like minded single suburban women with post graduate degrees in communications and journalism will be motivated to vote against any trying to take away their Constitutional right to Senicide.
There is so much wrong in this story, but this little tidbit at the end makes me think that the killer is not at all normal. I don't think it's about the money. It's about the voices in the head.
Unbelievably appalled at this granddaughter’s criminal mind. She is probably hoping for a jury to acquit her. I will be even more mortified if that happens.
