Sheriff: Woman sat on boyfriend's toilet for 2 years
By ROXANA HEGEMAN
Associated Press Writer

A 35-year-old woman who apparently spent two years in her boyfriend's
bathroom in Ness City had become stuck to the toilet seat, authorities
said today.

"She was not glued. She was not tied. She was just physically stuck by
her body. It is hard to imagine. ... I still have a hard time imagining
it myself," Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said in a telephone
interview, adding that it appeared her body fat had grown attached to
the seat.

Authorities planned to present their report to the county attorney later
today to see if any charges should be filed against her 36-year-old
boyfriend, Whipple said.

The boyfriend called police on Feb. 27 to report that "there was
something wrong with his girlfriend," Whipple said, adding he never
explained why it took him two years to call.

He said the boyfriend had brought the woman food and water during the
two years and told investigators he asked her daily 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."

Police found the clothed woman sitting on the toilet, her sweat pants
down to her mid-thigh as if she was using the toilet. Her legs looked
like they had atrophied, he said.

"She was sitting on the toilet and was somewhat disoriented," Whipple
said. "She said that she didn't need any help, that she was OK and did
not want to leave."

Authorities said they did not know if she was developmentally disabled.

She refused emergency medical services but was finally convinced by
responders and her boyfriend that she needed to be checked out. She was
taken to Via Christi Regional Medical Center-St. Francis Campus in
Wichita, where she is in fair condition. Whipple said she has refused to
cooperate with medical providers or law enforcement investigators.

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.

A neighbor, James Ellis, told the Associated Press that he had known the
woman since she was a child but said 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.

"It really doesn't surprise me," Ellis said of the bathroom incident.
"What surprises me is somebody wasn't called in a bit earlier.

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.

The case has been the buzz of this western Kansas town.

"I don't think anybody can make any sense out of it," Ellis said.
