  • Horror filmmaker held after corpse found in home



    TOMBSTONE, Ariz.-- It's a scene straight out of Hitchcock's "Psycho."

    A Tombstone filmmaker was arrested Wednesday after authorities found a decomposed body of a woman believed to be his mother inside his home.

    Tombstone Marshal Billy Cloud said his office received a call on Wednesday to do a welfare check at the home of 68-year-old Jill Fattig.

    A deputy was sent to Fattig's home, but when no one answered, he went to question her son, Timothy Fattig, a filmmaker for Desert Scream Productions, a horror-film production company.

    Fattig, 34, told the deputy his mother was at a hospital in Tucson. When authorities found this was not the case, Fattig admitted his mother had died a year ago.

    After a search warrant was obtained, deputies discovered the skeletal remains of Jill Fattig inside the home.

    Fattig was arrested on suspicion of negligent homicide and booked on a $40,000 bond at the Cochise County Jail.

    If an autopsy reveals that the woman died of natural causes, however, charges will likely be downgraded to failure to report a death, a misdemeanor.

        Yea, unless they find out he has been cashing her Social Security checks.

          And God knows what else. They're probably going over him with a magnifying glass. He's either a crook or a real strange guy. Probably likes hearses too. That's a warning sign.
