Sheryl Seitz was 58 when first responders found her in an Arvada Airbnb garage after a call for a sick person. She was discovered on a filthy air mattress, covered in maggots, and rushed to a nearby hospital where she died the following day. Hospital clinicians documented septic shock, two hip fractures, a loosely connected wrist, severe bed sores and ulcers, and maggots burrowing into her body.

For several years Sheryl had lived in an RV in a storage lot that reportedly had no running water and no proper bed, only a space heater for heat. Her son, Brian Seitz, 36, and his girlfriend, Laura Prats, 53, had been acting as her paid caregivers for about six or seven years and were receiving state funds through a home healthcare company for those services. Both were arrested after her death and charged with crimes against an at-risk person resulting in death; Brian Seitz also faces a charge of tampering with physical evidence.

What can anyone who knew Sheryl, her caregivers, or her living situation add to the timeline of her last years?
