Overview
- The 58-year-old escaped on March 15 by breaking a neighbor’s window and asking for help, according to court documents.
- She told police she had been locked in a basement for about two years, and officers later documented a locked door, a mattress, a loud radio and a bucket of urine.
- Authorities described her as a vulnerable adult and said hospital staff treated her for severe malnourishment.
- Police arrested caretaker Tasha Beamon, 48, who is charged with unlawful imprisonment and first-degree vulnerable adult abuse and is held on a $100,000 bond in Saginaw County Jail.
- Investigators said they are examining whether Beamon kept her to collect disability payments, a claim not yet tested in court.
