A West Virginia woman awoke from a years-long coma after being
brutally attacked and identified her brother as the assailant,
authorities said.
Wanda Palmer had been in a long-term care facility in New
Martinsville, West Virginia, after being beaten in her home in
June of 2020 and "left for dead," according to a Jackson County
Sheriff Department statement.
Daniel Palmer, Wanda Palmer’s brother, was arrested and booked
on suspicion of attempted murder and malicious wounding of his
sister near Cottageville, the sheriff said.
When Palmer was discovered, Jackson County Sheriff Ross
Mellinger said she was so savagely attacked, authorities thought
she was dead, according to West Virginia Metro News.
Palmer's care facility contacted authorities last week to let
them know the woman had come out of her coma, the Metro News
reported.
NBC News has contacted Jackson County Sheriff's Department for
comment.
Medical staff told authorities that, despite suffering brain
damage from the assault, that Palmer was able to speak enough to
identify her assailant, Metro News reported.
“The keys to the whole thing lay with the victim herself and
with her unable to communicate we were left with nothing. Now
low and behold two years later and boom, she’s awake and able to
tell us exactly what happened,” Mellinger told Metro News.
"He didn’t give us any fight or anything. There was a little bit
of surprise, but not entirely," Mellinger told Metro News of the
arrest.
Officials said they believed Daniel Palmer allegedly attacked
his sister with a machete or a hatchet.
He was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and malicious
wounding.
It was not immediately clear if Daniel Palmer had retained an
attorney.
CORRECTION (July 18, 2022, 1:00 p.m. ET): A previous version of
this article misspelled the last name of the Jackson County
sheriff. He is Ross Mellinger, not Mellenger.
