Grandma Doris Cumming, 82, disappeared for several months. Her family initially thought she had left the state when she had been away for a long time. They worried following they had no news of her and thought she was missing.
After submitting a report regarding her disappearance, it was a surprise. Floyd County police discovered the grandmother’s body late Thursday in the home where she was living with her 29-year-old grandson, Robert Keith Tencher III.

The investigation revealed the details of the crime. Police believe Cumming sustained fractures when she fell in her apartment last October, and instead of her grandson taking her to the hospital for medical care, Tencher dragged her home for a shocking reason.
Fearing that the police would discover his whereregardings, especially as he was being pursued in the case of his wife’s disappearance, he decided to get rid of his grandmother by placing her in the refrigerator.
And when he dragged her, he heard her bones breaking. Then he wrapped her in plastic bags and stuffed her into the fridge, apparently breaking her back.
Police maintain that the grandmother was alive and breathing when her grandson put her in the refrigerator.
Investigators concluded that the incident “was not a quarrel or a provocation” that led to these actions.
Tencher continued to live at home with the body in the refrigerator for several months, but moved it to a storage unit in March, fearing that the body would be found.
