Authorities under fire for death of elderly woman

"Investigative Reporter Wendy Halloran KPNX-Phoenix (NBC) exposed how the Assistant Medical Examiner for Maricopa County failed to mention an elderly woman was a victim of elder abuse in his autopsy report and how paramedics who responded to the woman failed to recognize what was really underneath the white cream on her body."

"Halloran’s investigation prompted a closer look at the case by the Maricopa County Attorney and three weeks after the initial investigation was broadcast the County Attorney’s Office has made a charging decision in the case."
