Carer Guilty of Elder Abuse (CA. USA)

Holloway guilty of elder abuse

Apr 16 2009

William Lowe’s family visited his grave Thursday to share some very good news.

Lowe’s former caretaker, Linda Suzan Holloway, was convicted of elder abuse nearly three years after the 76-year-old man’s body was found in his Colusa home.

“We’re ecstatic,” Lynnda Lowe-Salek of Newton, Mass., said after the verdict was handed down in Colusa County Superior Court after a non-jury trial. “He died  in ‘06, so we’ve been waiting for three years. It’s been a long time coming.”

Lowe-Salek, Lowe’s eldest daughter, was joined by her sister Laura Lowe of Colusa and Laura’s daughter Lindsey. “We’re just thrilled with the verdict, and happy,” Laura Lowe said.

Holloway faces up to 13 years in prison when she’s sentenced May 12, according to Colusa County District Attorney John Poyner. She was convicted of elder abuse with a “strike” for a previous robbery conviction and an enhancement for great bodily injury.
