‘Let God take you’: Woman said she left her blind, autistic son in field until he died, police say
When Officer Billy Simpson found Kimberly Lightwine on Aug. 29, she was lying facedown in the grass three feet from her Ford Expedition, which had come to rest in the middle of a Missouri field.
The temperature rose to 91 that day.
She was naked in the summer heat, save for a pair of panties.
Sprawled on the grass about 10 feet away from her was a 19-year-old wearing a diaper, which appeared to be full.
The boy was dead.
He was also her son.
