GUILTY TX - Seguin, Adult Skeletal Remains in Bedroom of House, July 2019 - Jacqueline Crayton *Arrest*

[dorothyland]

Not sure if they are related somehow, but the people living at this house are not Hispanic.

Yes, I'm confused, why are we all assuming this is Alyssa's residence?

This newsbrief says the remains have been there a few months.

Human remains found in Seguin may have been rotting for months

Seguin police officers made the discovery while looking into a tip they received during an unrelated child abuse/neglect call, Chief Terry Nichols said. No visible signs of foul play or the presence of a crime jumped out at investigators, he said.

Officers went to the address on Anderson following a call in a different part of town for an outcry of child abuse and/or neglect, Nichols said. While speaking with people involved in that case, someone told officers about the possibility of skeletal remains inside the home on Anderson.

Police conducted a welfare check at the Anderson Street home and just as officers were getting to the house, one of the residents arrived as well, Nichols said.

Both the woman and her daughter have cooperated with the investigation, he said.

Since the beginning of the year, SPD officers have been called to the home six times, mostly for calls involving a runaway child, Nichols said. Officers have had no reports of a missing person associated with the address, he said.

UPDATE: Human skeletal remains left in Seguin house for 3 years, police said

SEGUIN, Texas — Police said Thursday that the human remains found in a Seguin home earlier this week are more than likely those of Jacqueline Louise Crayton. She was in her 70s.

Seguin Police Department's Chief Terry Nichols shared details regarding Crayton's remains as well as the ongoing investigation.

Crayton's daughter, Delissa Crayton, has been arrested in connection with the remains. She is also charged with child neglect, for allowing her 15-year-old at the time of death to live in the house while the body decayed in the room.

I guess this explains the comment I mentioned above. Three years ! Wow !

 

[Cagle]

Wow is right!

The ongoing investigation has led police to believe that the remains found earlier this week belong to Delissa Crayton’s mother, Jacqueline Louise Crayton.

Investigators believe that Jacqueline Crayton fell in her bedroom in 2016 and had non-life threatening injuries. At the time, Delissa Crayton and her daughter were living with her at the residence in the 900 block of Anderson Street.

Police believe Delissa Crayton failed to provide help to her mother leading her to die within a few days while lying on the floor. She was approximately 71 years old.

Delissa Crayton continued to live in the home with daughter until Monday, June 8, about three years after the incident.

Police said Jacqueline Crayton was a staple in the Seguin community.

The investigation is ongoing and police are asking anyone who knew Jacqueline to come forward with any information regarding the case.

Yet no one reported her missing or requested a welfare check? Strange.

My assumptions above were totally incorrect.

 

[YaYa_521]

Yes, I'm confused, why are we all assuming this is Alyssa's residence?

I think I'm mostly responsible for that and it was strictly based off of the fact that Alyssa had recently been reported missing from the area.

sbm. What a horrible woman!
What type of person would treat their elderly mother like that
And she damaged her daughter too, I hope she'll recover.
Has it been verified yet if this monster worked for LE as a dispatcher?

PD: Child lived with corpse for years

A child kept in a home with a decomposing corpse left on a bedroom floor for years has a former Seguin Police Department dispatcher facing charges.

Delissa Crayton, 47, was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly forcing her child to live in the home where police say her mother — Jacqueline Louise Crayton — fell, died, and was left to decompose on a bedroom floor three years ago.

SNIP

When police entered the two-bedroom home, Nichols said they found the remains lying on the floor in one of the rooms behind an unlocked, closed door.

“The door was simply shut,” Nichols said. “Our first officer who was on the scene went in to do a welfare check and opened the door and found the skeletal remains. They were in a bedroom on the floor in plain view.”

SNIP

Additionally, he is seeking help from the community, family and friends to help fill in the timeline by contacting detectives at the Seguin Police Department.

“If they have specific information of when they last saw her alive or maybe they had contact with the defendant Delissa and maybe inquired about her mother and what kind of response they got, especially in the last three years,” he said.


“She was a fixture in this community and it is a sad day for the city of Seguin to realize the passing of a well-known, well-respected in the community,” he said. “It is a sad day for the city, it is a shock for many people. Let’s not forget the child victim. This will obviously take a toll and we want to make sure she gets the best services, medical as possible to help her.”


SNIP

Nichols said this case has been especially difficult for many of his employees as they knew all three — Delissa Crayton, Jacqueline Crayton and the child.

“This hits very home for many of our employees,” he said. “They’re equally traumatized. They’ve watched the child grow up and they knew Mrs. Crayton and they knew the defendant. It is a tough time for our employees as well.”

Seguin ISD spokesman Sean Hoffmann confirmed that Jacqueline “Ms. Jackie” Crayton was a long-time former employee of the district, having worked 35 years before she retired in 2000.

And yet, no one in that whole community of folks who admired her called in for a welfare check, or helped spread word that no one had seen her in a while? I mean we all know how rumors and whatnots get spread across the streets and FB.

This is really ticking me off and maybe I'm jumping guns again but come on...no one in the whole city of Seguin inquired, had suspicions, wondered, went over, called, questioned? NOTHING? I'll start my list of places wherein I don't want to be one of their upstanding community citizens, God forbid one of their more difficult to handle, drug dependent, mentally ill ones. Jeez. I'm done.

smh. Three years, y'all!!

Nevermind. I found it. Wow. Just amazing.

 

[Lewie]

I’m not totally clear. Is she being charged for some miscellaneous injury to the child and they found the body in that investigative process? Or the injury IS keeping her daughter living in a house with a corpse for 3 years?

ETA: answered before I even posted! It is the latter.

Wow that's cruel!

I suspected the remains would turn out to be an elderly family member but I did not expect such cruelty. Poor woman, she did not deserve this.

ITA! I don't get it. Three years is a long time to not see someone and not ever ask questions or call or visit them. Unless the daughter had a very convincing story that her mother left the state to live with other relatives or some such. But then too, did Jacqueline not have friends in town who were wondering about the absence of calls or Christmas greetings etc?

Puzzling, and very sad

 

[Lewie]

How did they live with the stench?! Astonishing.

 

[Ksprincess2]

That poor teenager! No wonder she had runaway!! She'd been living with her dead Grandma's decomposing body for years.

Yup. It's like straight out of a horror movie. Poor girl.
