- Arrest made after ‘profoundly autistic’ woman found dead from severe malnutrition
Marlo Wallace was charged with first-degree murder in the death of 23-year-old Aaliyah Michelle Fortner, a nonverbal, profoundly autistic woman who died from severe malnutrition and blunt force injuries while in her care. An autopsy revealed Fortner weighed 80 pounds at death, down from 143 pounds six months prior, and her death was ruled a homicide due to caregiver neglect.
