East Bay Man Mummifies Mother, Gets Probation

POSTED: 4:33 pm PDT August 14, 2006
UPDATED: 4:42 pm PDT August 14, 2006

A Fairfield man whose mother's mummified body was found in his home was sentenced to five years probation Thursday in Solano County Superior Court.

Jack Ronald Wilson, 59, also was sentenced to the time he has already served in the Solano County Jail, more than 400 days, his attorney, Deputy Public Defender Thomas Hagler, said Monday morning.

Police found the body of 79-year-old Kathleen Wilson on the kitchen floor of the family's home in the 1500 block of Utah Street in March 2005. It is believed she died in November 2003.

Wilson was charged with elder abuse and involuntary manslaughter and faced 11 years in prison but pleaded no contest to two counts of elder abuse. His elderly father also lived in the home but now resides in a residential home, Hagler said.

Wilson also was ordered to abstain from alcohol and participate in therapy and education programs, Hagler said. He will return to court in November for a progress report, Hagler said.
