Woman sits on boyfriend's toilet for 2 years
Girlfriend was physically stuck to the seat — her skin had grown around it

Link: MSNBC

NESS CITY, Kan. - Deputies said a woman in western Kansas sat on her boyfriend's toilet for two years, and they're investigating whether she was mistreated.

Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said a man called his office last month to report that something was wrong with his girlfriend.

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 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 in Ness City, said James Ellis, a neighbor.

It's true. Follow the link. I saw a video interview tonight with the neighbors.Now, whether or not she really stayed in the bathroom for two years might be a little suspect but it sure makes a great story!
 
Wow! I can't imagine her not having some kind of mental illness or disability. That is sad.
 
OMG - how scary is that story! Although I've seen weird things like this in movies - never in real life - I can't believe it took the guy 2 years to call someone - hello!! pick up the phone and get some help after maybe 2 days?!

Well, maybe they all live there. After all, maybe they're there because they aren't flush with cash.

In an account of the case by Associated Press reporter Roxana Hegeman -- the one rocketing around office e-mails nationwide -- Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said the 35-year-old at first insisted nothing was wrong, and she didn't want to leave.

Anyone else think it's funny that the Sheriff's name is Whipple - like Mr. Whipple on the Charmin commercials? :DAnd I am NOT doing another Potty party!
 
I guess sometimes you just give up on life.

If I decided to give up on life, I think I'd find a more comfortable place to sit than the toilet!

And, where did the boyfriend go when nature called?

Maybe she got stuck there to begin with and gave up when she couldn't get off?

They said this on the radio this morning and it still seems a little crazy.
 
OMG, you've got to be kidding me! Of course it had to be in KS:eek: I have a cluster-mate that lives there; I'm going to email her about this!

I don't know Ann... sounds perfect!
 
I just read on CNN that she had some kind of phobia about being outside since she was little (or at least when she was little she was never allowed outside) and went into the bathroom and decided it was her safe place. The guy couldn't even say how long she had even been in there!

Also on CNN, an Australian woman killed her boyfriend two years ago because he wouldn't let her listen to Bruce Springstein. Said she just snapped and grabbed a knife and killed him. Yikes!
 
Wow, this is a little strange! :rolleyes:
 
Holy moly - that is unbelievable!!!
 
Maybe she was constipated or incontient. Sometimes I think if I sit there long enough I will eventually go. Maybe it just took her that long to let it all out.

:blushing:
 
LOL! OMG! This is great! It's weird, but I don't know. I read fark.com all the time, and it has funny stories like that quite often.

Sometimes, life just goes to pot.
 
Her life must have been pretty crappy if the "reading room" was the best room in the house. But this too shall pass.

On the video, you could see the place was a real dump.
 
AH yes, it's been in our papers for a few days. I'm SO PROUD that this is a national story now!

So the story from your paper is on a roll?
 
Some points...

1. Good thing the septic didn't back up during this time, that would have been interesting...

2. I wonder if she'll ever have use of her legs fully after the atrophy...I'm sure she definitely has some nerve damage...the NERVE of her boyfriend to let her stay there for 2 years!

3. This story just stinks overall...



Yuk! :yuck:
