April 22, 2006
Police arrested a 49-year-old Central Florida man accused of keeping his mother's decomposing body in her home so he could collect Social Security checks, according Local 6 News.
The decomposing body of Vernice Bea was found inside a bedroom at 411 W Voorhis Ave. in Deland, Fla., on March 24.

The report said that it appeared the body had been in the house for some time because of the advanced state of decomposition.

During the investigation in the death, investigators learned that Robert Eugene Bea, the woman's son, had been aware of the body's presence inside the home, a news release said.

Detectives also learned that Bea had been cashing his mother's Social Security checks since October 2005.

An arrest warrant was obtained for Bea Friday, charging him with organized scheme to defraud.
