Ken Lemon reports Dallas NC New Murder Charge In Dallas Group Home Death

The Gaston County District Attorney’s Office charged Marlo Wallace with murder in the death of a non-verbal special needs woman. Wallace operated from her home on Greenbrook Trail. That's where the district attorney, Travis Page, said police found 23-year-old Aliyah Fornter dead in October. Page said there was evidence that the 23-year-old with autism suffered horrible abuse, including being shocked with a taser and beaten with a broom. Page told a judge that some of the abuse was captured on video that Wallace tried to delete.
Police originally arrested Wallace with concealment of death from unnatural causes, patient abuse and neglect, and felony assault of an individual with disabilities. Today on WSOC-TV, Fortner’s family responds to the charge they say they have waited on since Ailyah Fortner’s death.

One of Gaston Counties most disturbing and evil cases we can remember.
