Sheriff: Woman Sat on Toilet for 2 Years

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Authorities are considering charges in the bizarre case of a woman who sat on her boyfriend's toilet for two years — so long that her body was stuck to the seat by the time the boyfriend finally called police.

Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said it appeared the 35-year-old Ness City woman's skin had grown around the seat. She initially refused emergency medical services but was finally convinced by responders and her boyfriend that she needed to be checked out at a hospital.

"We pried the toilet seat off with a pry bar and the seat went with her to the hospital," Whipple said. "The hospital removed it."

Whipple said investigators planned to present their report Wednesday to the county attorney, who will determine whether any charges should be filed against the woman's 36-year-old boyfriend.

"She was not glued. She was not tied. She was just physically stuck by her body," Whipple said. "It is hard to imagine. ... I still have a hard time imagining it myself."

He told investigators he brought his girlfriend food and water, and asked her every day to come out of the bathroom.

"And her reply would be, `Maybe tomorrow,'" Whipple said. "According to him, she did not want to leave the bathroom."

The boyfriend called police on Feb. 27 to report that "there was something wrong with his girlfriend," Whipple said, adding that he never explained why it took him two years to call.

Police found the clothed woman sitting on the toilet, her sweat pants down to her mid-thigh. She was "somewhat disoriented," and her legs looked like they had atrophied, Whipple said.

"She said that she didn't need any help, that she was OK and did not want to leave," he said.

She was reported in fair condition at a hospital in Wichita, about 150 miles southeast of Ness City. Whipple said she has refused to cooperate with medical providers or law enforcement investigators.

Authorities said they did not know if she was mentally or physically disabled.

Police have declined to release the couple's names, but the house where authorities say the incident happened is listed in public records as the residence of Kory McFarren. No one answered his home phone number.

The case has been the buzz of Ness City, said James Ellis, a neighbor.

"I don't think anybody can make any sense out of it," he said.

Ellis said he had known the woman since she was a child but that he had not seen her for at least six years.

He said she had a tough childhood after her mother died at a young age and apparently was usually kept inside the house as she grew up. At one time the woman worked for a long-term care facility, he said, but he did not know what kind of work she did there.

"It really doesn't surprise me," Ellis said. "What surprises me is somebody wasn't called in a bit earlier."

How does skin grow to be stuck to the seat?

How does skin grow to be stuck to the seat?

Probably took the imprint of the seat and grew around it or something...

Her bum began to absorb that toilet seat.

It became one with it.

Unity.

I knew Digg or Reddit would somehow manage to find its way here. Skin actually growing onto the seat is more amazing than disgusting imo. Am I the only one who wants to see how skin has actually grown around a toilet seat?

what a crock of sh$#....

[P__S__2]

How did she wash her hands? and what if she clogged the toilet?


LOL this is funny.

You're not the only one. I'm completely fascinated and want to see as well.

I'm confused though. How do you leave someone on the toilet for two years? I would have called for help in two days max.

She might even make the New England Journal of Medicine!!

What they failed to mention was that it was a single bathroom house. The boyfriend finally called after 2 years because he couldn't hold it in any longer.

[TimePilot]

working at Mcdonalds for 2 years or sitting on toilet for 2 years. Wonder which is worse?

Where do you find these crazy stories. I'm still trying to comprehend how you can sit on a toilet for 2 years. Well maybe possible if she had a laptop and internet access. lol

wtf?

[frogger]

Gotta be pretty mentally ill to pull that off.. She didn't even pull her pants up?!?

That honestly must have been a pretty painful thing to go through. Sitting down on a toilet seat gets uncomfortable after like an hour, with your butt hanging in the bowl, circulation gets cut off. I've had many a sleeping leg after reading a Redwall novel on the toilet.
