Man May Have Stayed With Mother's Body For 2 Months (MI. USA)

A son accused of murdering his own mother has been arraigned in Genesee County.
Jeff Ries, 35, was formally charged today.
Ries walked into the courtroom in shackles. He is charged with three felony counts: open murder, felony murder and first-degree elder abuse.
Police say he beat his mother, 62-year-old Irene Ries, to death, but won't say what type of weapon Reis used.
Detectives are still trying to figure out when the murder occurred. They say it's possible the body had been inside their Burton home on Appletree for at least two months.
Those who live nearby got worried when they no longer saw the woman. Police attempted several times to gain access, but couldn't until two days ago when they discovered an open door.
"Concerned neighbors called Burton police after not seeing the resident at the home.  Our officers made entry into the house that they believed that she may be in," explained Burton Detective Shawn Duncanson. "We found her there. He was still at the scene, arrested and taken back to the police department."
Ries' pretrial date is set for later this month.
Detectives say more on this case will be released at that time.
