The sisters were responsible for providing care for their mother at the time of her death, said Sgt. Trevor Gaumer of the Covina Police Department.
Mendez had a limited ability to speak and required a walker to move around.
She required the assistance of her daughters with bathing, using the bathroom and eating, Gaumer said.
The investigation began on Feb. 27, 2007, at 6:30 p.m. when Covina police were dispatched with county fire personnel to a call of a dead body inside a home at 1348 N. Edenfield Ave, Gaumer said.
Mendez's body was found nude in a room littered with urine and feces.
There were no obvious signs of physical abuse, although her emaciated body weighed 78 pounds.
