From Chandler, Ariz.: A man is facing a murder charge in connection with the death of his 84-year-old mother. Court documents describe the poor living conditions in which the woman, Mary Elenz, was found. Her son, 64-year-old Allen Page, had been caring for her. An investigation began after Elenz's death, which led to Page's arrest over the weekend.
Further details about the case are available, including the condition of Elenz when a nurse visited her. The nurse's evaluation was prompted by a call from Page to Hospice of the Valley.
The investigation started last September, following Elenz's death, and has resulted in Page being charged with murder.
