Authorities have made an arrest in the case of a North Collins murder and it was the young woman's own mother.
Investigators believe her mental and physical disabilities played a role in her death.
Captain Ronald Kenyon of the Erie County Sheriff's Office said, "We've never seen anything quite as horrific as what we've seen in this investigation."
Authorities were suspicious immediately after finding a 23 year old North Collins woman dead.
.......
"We find evidence of abuse going back to 1995. Physical and mental abuse also." Captain Kenyon said.
Neighbor, Rebecca Lee explained, "Her mom was kinda mean to her."
Neighbors saw the way Eva treated her disabled daughter.
Robert Lee said, "Somebody had walked by and the daughter was looking over at her and Eva didn't like it so she just snatched her by the back of the head and took her in the house, right by the hair."
Young Rebecca said she would visit Laura, who didn't get out of the house very often.
"She always looked lonely so I went over to see how she was. She was real nice," Rebecca expressed.
Investigators said that Child Protective Services had been called to the house in the past, but found nothing unusual. :banghead:
Captain Kenyon said sadly, this is a case that fell through the cracks.
"Perhaps a lot of people had a hunch of what was going on, but I think everybody, unfortunately, thought that somebody else was taking care of it," he said.
