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.

I fully support people doing drugs on the streets. I'm sick and tired of people being selfish by doing drugs in the privacy of their own homes. Do it on the streets where you can share with your friends and neighbors. It's the Christian thing to do.

"After much thought into this, I have finally come to a conclusion as to why the ‘Meet the Spartans’ commercial is so funny:
It is an interesting choice to have Sanjaya sing ‘I’m not gay,’ as his final words on earth. As he is plummeting into a seemingly bottomless pit, he does not say ‘dear god no,’ ‘I love you mom,’ or even simply ‘argh.’ He instead takes the moment to reaffirm to the world, in spite of their doubts, that he is not a homosexual. Not only that, but he continues to sing, despite falling to his certain death. The distinct lack of plausibility of this situation is what produces giggles from our mouth. It is the antithesis to the belief that ‘it’s funny because it is true.’"

When I dated a girl for a while as a teenager, one of my friends turned to me in the car and said: "did you get her in the can yet?" This reminded me of that story. The guy who asked me that is such a cool person, but his infant son died and he became a crack addict, eventually moving to Arizona. Nobody knows his number.

this is undoubtedly one of the most puzzling stories i've ever read. it's moments like this that make me simultaneously love and somewhat fear for humanity.

Here's hoping this serves as a wake-up call to simakos and Alan's ever-growing 33 1/3 series bathroom collections.
Right in that meaty part of the curve. Not showing off, not falling behind.
