Eva Batcher is charged with hiding 96-year-old Regina Michalski's body in a freezer for almost 2 years allegedly to collect her Social Security checks
Eva Batcher is charged with hiding 96-year-old Regina Michalski's body in a freezer for almost 2 years allegedly to collect her Social Security checksNew details were revealed in court Thursday after the stunning discovery inside a Northwest Side home.
The 96-year-old woman had apparently been dead for nearly two years. While prosecutors gave no motive for Bratcher hiding the death, they noted that an ID found in the home bore Bratcher's photo but her mother's name. Prosecutors said police were also still investigating whether Bratcher collected her mother's Social Security checks or other benefits after her mother died. For now, she faces felony charges of concealing her mother's death and possession of a fraudulent identification card.
Michalski's body was discovered after Watson, who lives in Kentucky, called the police and asked them to conduct a well-being check. "I just said, I'm callingand just having them do a welfare check," said Watson, 38. "What could go wrong? Apparently, everything." "This page is to alert ANYONE that knows Eva Michalski that she is a DANGEROUS CRIMINAL!" the page says.
In January of 2006, she pleaded guilty to felony counts of forgery in two cases and was given concurrent sentences of six months in the Cook County Jail and two years' probation. Prosecutors said Bratcher hid her mother's death from tenants in the building and neighbors by telling people her mother was in a nursing home.
