Woman Stuck On Toilet For Two Years, Police Say

WICHITA, Kansas (AP) -- Deputies say a woman in western Kansas became
stuck on her boyfriend's toilet after sitting on it for two years.

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 February 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 taken to 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 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 of the bathroom incident. "What surprises me
is somebody wasn't called in a bit earlier."
