A 93-year-old Georgia woman was left to die on her bedroom floor without any food or water and now her granddaughter and granddaughter’s boyfriend are facing murder charges.

The Haralson County Sheriff’s Office on Saturday arrested Angela Nicole Patton, 42, and her boyfriend David Glyn Smith, 50, after a grand jury indicted the couple on charges of felony murder and cruelty to a person 65 years or older, a press release said. Dora Jordan died on Oct. 27, 2021, one month after authorities found her on her bedroom floor.

On Sept. 27, 2021, Haralson County Sheriff Stacy Williams went out to a home for a welfare check on an elderly person and he heard a “faint cry for help.” He went inside and found Jordan on the bedroom floor in a “very weak condition.” Deputies determined that Jordan suffered a fall and had been without food or water for an “extended period of time.” The next evening Patton, her supposed caregiver, and Smith returned home and deputies arrested them on a charge of cruelty to a person 65 years or older, deputies said.
