Richard McClintic Sacramento Police DepartmentA family member of McClintic told CBS Sacramento outside the courthouse on Monday that the family had been trying to get into contact with McClintic to notify him that his sister had died. The family member, who is McClintic's nephew, said another relative had tried twice to reach McClintic at his apartment but was ultimately denied by the caretaker.
"To know that someone is capable of doing this to a disabled person in my uncle's condition is just outrageous," the nephew said.
Cowens, who had been McClintic's caretaker for years, was initially booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail on suspicion of unlawful disposal of human remains, grand theft, and concealment or attempted concealment of a death. She is ineligible for bail and is scheduled to appear in court on Monday.
McClintic was considered at-risk due to medical conditions, including cerebral palsy. In August 2015, CBS News Sacramento spoke to both McClintic and Cowens for a story about his need for a new motorized scooter and a new machine that would help him find his voice.
