PA - Her arm stuck in drop-off bin, woman freezes

  • #21
I have to wonder if maybe she dumped something then realized , she didn't mean to?


I'm thinking that's doubtful. A previous report had been made about a woman driving a Hummer stealing stuff from the same place. No positive ID but probably the same woman.

I wonder if she donated items and had realized she'd put something in there that she realized wasn't supposed to go and was trying to fish it back out before folks went through the bags the next morning? Either way, what a horrible way to pass.

Having dropped off bags of clothes in the past the door is similar to the door at a bank when dropping in the envelope for a deposit. When you pull down the door it has a shelf that keeps what has been dropped in from being exposed, when you release the door the item/bag then drops inside the bin. When the container becomes fuller the bags are closer to the top and can probably be fished out. Once I stopped and the door would not open because it was full.jmo

This is the one in Natalie, same one in the DM article wfgodot posted.

Looking at that photo, I still don't understand why she needed a stool? That bin is 4 ft high maybe? Did she open the top of it and was half inside of it? Trying to picture it.

What a way to go ...

The news website reported, "She was apparently removing bags from the container, and she was left dangling with her feet off the ground."

It's believed that Permar, who was described as short, went to the drop-off box around 2 a.m. on Sunday and was discovered dead more than six hours later.

I wonder how tall the stool was? I'd guess it was needed to reach the bottom of the box. Not sure, since I've never even thought of doing such a thing.

SMH. Driving a Hummer and stealing from the donation box. I feel for her family but she brought her death on herself.

Totally agree, it's a sad situation for her family. I read her obit and it appears she has a large extended family.

Her shoulder would have had to be to the level of the door, when you pull down the door the back of the shelf is smaller in height then the front with the handle. Sort of like a V shape, With her wrist broke and her arm broke it sounds like her weight kept her from being able to close the door to release herself. It would not surprise me if there was not an object she was using to fish the bags out. I have wondered if she said she was getting what she was taking/stealing from yard sales/thrift shops. How would you explain these items. idk jmo

Maybe she was selling the stuff on ebay.

I assume she needed the stool for leverage, and to easily access the clothes from the outside in. It's like trying to steal candy bars out of a vending machine if the drop box was near the top of the machine rather than the bottom.

Its so bizarre-- i would like to know her financial situation - for all we know the Hummer was not hers or whatever- still horrible thing to do - stealing from it - moo

I'd suspect her financial situation was getting pretty grim. What I want to know is what was the motive. Judging by her pics she looks pretty comfortable, which is why it's so weird why a woman would be stealing clothes in the middle of the night. Drug problem maybe? Mounting financial trouble? Boredom? It's bizarre whatever the reasoning.

Was she INSIDE of it??

In November, police received a report of a woman who was driving a black Hummer removing items from the bin, he said.

I am having a hard time getting this


[FONT=&amp]21 degrees if she was hanging outside in 6 hours no one passed by? Or was inside the bin itself -- it does not look that high up ???

[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp] she was a generous person who often donated clothing.

It's really ironic: she died of hypothermia, but there was probably a jacket or warm clothing that could have possibly saved her life inside the donation box. If only she could have accessed it. Extremely sad.

Ok having problems with the Hummer. $$$

So I looked up her house , trying to find out finanacial picture. House value:

font not me!!

$167,998 no big deal There was not a direct pic of home but had some nearby --kinda dumpy -- so the Hummer seems not to indicate any substantial net worth.

Would not be surprised if a relative left it to her or something.



Hoarder??

Makes no sense to be taking stuff for the poor to give it to the poor. Becomes even more bizaire at 2 AM in 20 degrees??

You're probably absolutely right about the Hummer being gifted to her if that's the case. Could have been hoarding, may have been trying to start eBaying or reselling in some regard, may just have been facing financial problems, just what I can think of top of my head. Need more info.

According to WNEP-TV, Permar's death was ruled an accident and was attributed to blunt trauma and possible hypothermia. On Sunday, the temperature in Mount Carmel, Pennsylvania dropped to 21 degrees, according to Weather Underground.

Permar's family told WNEP that she was a generous person who often donated clothing.

According to the article it's a busy road. I can understand her not being seen in the dark because the area doesn't appear well lit but she wasn't found until 8:30 am?

Watch below for more, including reaction from local people who drove by the bin on the night Permar died.

If we're to believe she often donated clothing, maybe she accidentally donated something on accident and was trying to get it back.
