Police: Arizona grandmother, killed a year and a half ago, is left in home while family cashes checks

Prescott police said a mother and daughter confessed on Tuesday to killing the family's 77-year-old grandmother in late 2017 and cashing monthly checks in her name ever since.

A concerned resident reported to police on Tuesday morning that he hadn't seen Sandra Aven in "quite some time," police said.

Officers began their investigation and found Aven's granddaughter, 24-year-old Briar Aven, who said her grandmother was "out of town and unavailable," police said.

Briar Aven and her mother, 46-year-old Tara Aven, who is Sandra's daughter, live next door to the elderly woman, police said. Investigators found "several inconsistencies" in stories offered by both women, police said.

Officers entered the home to check on the missing woman and found the body of an "obviously deceased person." The body had not been positively identified as of 4 p.m. Tuesday.

In subsequent police interviews with the women, they confessed to killing Sandra Aven in late 2017 and cashing numerous monthly payment checks in her name ever since, police said.

Yeah....

And lived with the body in the house for going on 2 yrs. I would not call them "family". Disgusting! Who can kill their mother for money?

Holy hell. Kill your own mom with your daughter? Too lazy to work for a living so why not kill your mom. Unbelievable!

Wonder if daughter and granddaughter wore their hair this short?

Or, is this the way Arizona cuts women prisoners hair?

They both shaved their heads in the months prior to being found out I believe. I live nearby and I have spoken to folks who saw the granddaughter in the yard while driving by. Head was shaved.
