   Sheriff’s deputies arrested two caregivers of a disabled Jefferson   
   County woman Wednesday on suspicion of crimes related to her death,   
   officials said Thursday.   
      
   When first responders found 58-year-old Sheryl Seitz, she was lying on   
   an air mattress in an Arvada garage, covered in filth and maggots,   
   according to a Thursday news release from the Jefferson County Sheriff’s   
   Office.   
      
   Jefferson County sheriff’s deputies arrested Seitz’s son and his   
   girlfriend Wednesday on suspicion of crimes against an at-risk person   
   resulting in death as well as crimes against an at-risk person resulting   
   in serious injury. The victim’s son also faces a charge of tampering   
   with physical evidence.   
      
   The Arvada Fire Department responded to reports of a sick person at an   
   Airbnb in the 6400 block of Kendall Street on Monday, the release   
   stated. Paramedics transported Seitz to a local hospital, where she died   
   from her injuries a day later.   
      
   Hospital records indicated that Seitz was suffering from bed sores, two   
   hip fractures, a “loosely connected wrist,” ulcers, septic shock and   
   maggots burrowing into her body when she arrived on Monday, sheriff’s   
   officials said Thursday.   
      
   The Arvada Police Department began the initial investigation but quickly   
   learned that the crimes likely occurred at an RV storage lot in   
   unincorporated Jefferson County where the victim and the two suspects   
   lived separately, according to Thursday’s release.   
      
   On Wednesday, sheriff’s deputies executed search warrants at the trailer   
   where Brian Seitz and Laura Prats — the son and his girlfriend — lived,   
   Sheryl Seitz’s RV and the car driven by the two suspects, Thursday’s   
   release stated. Both suspects were arrested.   
      
   Because of the victim’s declining medical condition and her inability to   
   walk or care for herself, the two suspects had been her caretakers for   
   the last six or seven years, sheriff’s officials said. The two received   
   state funding for the older woman’s care through a home healthcare   
   company for 83 hours a week.   
      
   Seitz’s RV did not have running water or a bed for her to sleep in, the   
   release stated. The only source of heat in the RV was a space heater.   
      
   The death is still under investigation and official autopsy results are   
   pending. The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office will release Seitz’s   
   official cause and manner of death at a later date.
