Authorities initially thought Wanda was dead.
“I wouldn’t have wagered a nickel for her life that morning,” Jackson County Sheriff Ross Mellinger said Friday, according to WCHS. “She was in that bad of shape. Quite honestly, she was unconscious, circling the drain medically. Massive, massive amounts of head trauma, consistent with some sort of machete or hatchet-type injury.”
The case was immediately a mystery.
“I had my windows open in my home, and we never heard one thing,” Eileen told WTAP at the time.
Mellinger said Friday they originally had little in the way of evidence. They still did not have the weapon.
Investigators considered her brother Daniel as a suspect early on, but they did not immediately have enough evidence for charges, according to court documents obtained by WCHS.
That changed after Wanda woke up. Despite severe brain damage, she could still identify Daniel as her attacker when investigators visited her care home in Wetzel County, authorities said in the MetroNews report.

Life in prison. No parole!
My bet, mental illness.
Wanda named her attempted killer, but did she also know about
the Pay Wall?
If i were the brother that would be my argument, mental illness on her part.
Her brain has not worked for several years an now suddenly she is fine?
Dream on
She’s woke now.
People who come out of comas tell of being aware of what is going obn around them, so your dumbass comment is, well, dumbass.
Based on your Christian comment, I'm sure you would have approved of the care takers pulling the plug long ago.......
The brother thought he was Scot free until the deputies show up 2 years later.
Lady had a looong memory, thank goodness.
And in your imagination, where did you conclude the dumbass comment was ‘Christian’?
And she’s probably shocked that Joek Braindead is president.
There is truth to the old saw "the long arm of the law".
I’d say they’d need more evidence than her say so for a conviction.
If it is mental illness then so be it but if it is not mental illness then there is no mention of the ‘why’ in the article. The first thing I thought was, “Brother trying to silence incestuous rape.”
Maybe not. Take a look at the picture of the brother. I think he might be a Biden
I was in a coma for 9 days because of hemorrhagic stroke. I wasn’t not aware of a thing going on in the world.
Maybe because my comment was sarcastic and his comment was antithetical to everything this site stands for?
Isn't this a Christian based website?
Maybe in the headline for this site:
Conservatives for God, Family, Country!
With that being said, this site has become far from Christian based as evidenced by the constant stream of hate filled comments on various threads.
And don't ask me to post them because you know damn well have seen the comments by hypocrites yourself...
Sounds to me that both of you are intent on disbelieving the account of a coma ridden person actually waking up.
Why and why does that scare you?
Would you have rather her family put her to death? WTF!
I believe her
Why lie?
