Cops Find Missing Mom in Daughter’s Garage

The body of a missing Michigan grandmother was discovered stuffed inside a 70-gallon plastic storage bin in her own garage, where it had been hidden for months while her daughter allegedly collected her benefits and sent 𝒻𝒶𝓀𝑒 text messages to family members, police said. Patricia Bennett, 70, was last seen alive in November 2019, but her daughter, Carol Marie Ray, 51, repeatedly told authorities and relatives that her mother was staying with a sister or at doctor’s appointments, according to police reports and video footage of the investigation. The grim discovery came after a two-month missing person investigation that led officers back to Bennett’s Roseville home multiple times, where they found Ray living with her young daughter and her boyfriend.

Police body camera footage captured the moment officers finally located Bennett’s remains in the garage of the home she shared with her daughter. “She’s back there,” an officer is heard saying on the video. “In a 70-gallon tub.”

The case began when Bennett’s grandchildren reported they had not heard from their grandmother since before Thanksgiving, a period of more than two months. They told police their mother, Ray, had been evasive and offered conflicting stories about Bennett’s whereabouts. “This has been going on for two months now,” one grandchild told investigators.

“All this stuff. There’s always an excuse.” When officers first conducted a welfare check at Bennett’s home on a late January night in 2020, Ray answered the door and claimed her mother was staying with her sister, Carol Morris, to avoid catching pneumonia.

“She’s not here right now,” Ray told police. “She’s with her sister.” But when investigators contacted Morris, she told them she had not seen or spoken to her sister in years.

“We contacted my aunt Carol and she said she hadn’t talked to her and her sister in years,” a grandchild told police. The discrepancies mounted as officers discovered Bennett’s cell phone hidden in the cushions of a couch inside the home, contradicting Ray’s claim that her mother had taken it with her. Investigators also found that text messages and Facebook posts purportedly from Bennett were being sent from the house, even as police were conducting their search.

“My dad’s talking to my grandma on FaceTime real time right now,” a grandchild told officers, “and this was like a minute ago saying, ‘Yes, I’m at home waiting to go get my vitamin B12 shot.’” The messages, however, raised suspicion among family members who said the language and tone did not match their grandmother’s typical communication style. “My grandma does not talk like this,” one grandchild said.

Police body camera footage shows the tension escalating as officers repeatedly confronted Ray with inconsistencies in her story. “Your lies are so twisted,” one detective told her. “It’s just so bad.”

Ray initially denied any wrongdoing, insisting her mother was alive and well. “She’s fine,” Ray told officers during one exchange. “She’s with your sister, right?”

an officer asked. “She’s fine,” Ray repeated. But as the investigation deepened, Ray’s story began to unravel.

When officers asked if they could search the home, Ray refused to give consent, saying she did not have the authority. “I don’t have the right to say yes or no,” she told them. “You’re going to have to get that from my mom.”

Police obtained a search warrant and returned to the home, where they interviewed Ray’s boyfriend, Ricky. He told investigators he had not seen Bennett in about a month and a half and had been told she was staying with her sister. “Physically saw her, probably been about a month and a month and a half,” Ricky said.

“I would say maybe a couple weeks before Thanksgiving.” While detectives spoke with Ricky in the living room, other officers searched the garage and made the horrifying discovery. “I don’t think they’re going to find her in here,” an officer is heard saying on the video.

“The garage don’t stink. The house don’t stink.” But moments later, another officer called out, “Oh, yeah?

In a tub. In a 70-gallon tub?” The body was found in an advanced state of decomposition, indicating Bennett had been dead for weeks, possibly months.

Detectives believe she was shot in the head before her body was placed inside the plastic tote and left in the garage. The medical examiner later confirmed the cause of death as a gunshot wound to the head. Investigators also discovered that Ray had been making financial transactions using her mother’s bank accounts and credit lines in the weeks following her death.

“She accesses my grandma’s bank account before she died,” one grandchild told police. “Multiple times.” Ray was arrested immediately after the discovery of her mother’s body.

Body camera footage shows officers placing her in handcuffs as she protested. “Carol, we should probably go upstairs,” an officer said. “Cuffs on her?”

Ray asked. “Carol, go ahead and stand up for me,” the officer replied. “I’m going to place my hands on your back, okay?”

Ray was charged with first-degree murder, larceny of $20,000 or more, and felony possession of a firearm. She was held without bond. In May 2022, Ray pleaded no contest to second-degree murder.

In July 2022, a Macomb County Circuit Court judge sentenced her to serve between 20 and 30 years in prison. Online records with the Michigan Department of Corrections show she is serving her sentence at the Huron Valley Women’s Complex in Ypsilanti. Her earliest possible release date is January 2040, when she will be in her 70s.

The case has left Bennett’s family devastated, grappling with the betrayal of a loved one they trusted to care for their grandmother. “I just don’t want my grandma to be passed away and she’s collecting,” one grandchild told police. “Or hopefully she’s just hiding her because she’s sick and my grandma is not.

No, I’d rather have a pissed off grandma than a missing or dead one.” The investigation revealed a pattern of deception that spanned months, with Ray allegedly using her mother’s phone to send messages to family members, creating the illusion that Bennett was still alive. “Your mom didn’t write these texts,” a detective told Ray during questioning.

“You wrote these texts.” Ray denied the accusation, but investigators noted that the messages stopped coming once they seized the phone. “I know she didn’t write these texts,” Ray insisted.

“I was sitting here talking to you.” But the evidence told a different story. Police found that Bennett’s phone had been used to send messages to her son, John, who had been trying to reach her for weeks.

“He tried getting a hold of her,” Ray told officers, “and like I said, I was in the hospital with my particular illness.” But investigators discovered that the messages were being sent from the house, not from a hospital or a sister’s home. “This is your writing from your son knows that the way you write,” a detective told Ray.

“Then look at my phone,” Ray replied. “Get straight. Where is your mother?

Where is your mother’s body right now? Where is she?” The detective’s question hung in the air as Ray continued to deny any knowledge of her mother’s whereabouts.

“I don’t know,” she said. “Because she honestly said this is what she told me when she left here. That’s all I know.”

But the discovery of Bennett’s body in the garage proved that Ray had been lying all along. The case has sparked outrage and sorrow in the community, with many questioning how a daughter could allegedly 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁 her own mother and then hide her body for months while continuing to collect her benefits. “My mother’s always been about as long as she can get a check,” one grandchild told police.

“All about money.” The investigation also revealed that Ray had a history of financial exploitation, having previously drained her mother’s bank account. “My grandma has fraudulent uh has police report on her,” a grandchild said.

“A couple years ago. And what happened to those charges? I think my grandma decided to not pursue them.”

The case highlights the dangers of elder 𝓪𝓫𝓾𝓼𝓮 and the lengths some individuals will go to for financial gain. “If she’s dead then I mean if she’s got a body hiding somewhere or has done away with her, I mean and then trying to collect social security or whatever she receives, I mean that takes some effort,” a detective noted. The discovery of Bennett’s body brought an end to a two-month ordeal for her family, who had been desperately searching for answers.

“We’re just concerned,” one grandchild told police. “Sure, absolutely,” the officer replied. The case also underscores the importance of thorough police work and the role of family members in reporting suspicious behavior.

“If we can’t find her, where do I go?” a grandchild asked officers. “Where do I go from here?

Missing person?” The investigation was a collaborative effort between the Roseville Police Department and the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office, with detectives working tirelessly to uncover the truth. “We’re not going to leave,” a detective told Ray.

“We’re not going to go away until we figure out what’s going on with your mom.” The case has been featured on the true crime series “Female Criminals,” which detailed the investigation and the eventual discovery of Bennett’s body. “Welcome to Female Criminals,” the host said.

“I’m Elizabeth Milner. Roseville, Michigan. That’s where we meet this week’s female criminal, Carol Marie Ray.”

The episode highlighted the chilling details of the case, including the moment officers found Bennett’s remains. “She’s back there,” an officer said. “Oh, yeah?

Yeah, man. In a 70-gallon tub.” The case has left a lasting impact on the community, serving as a cautionary tale about the dangers of trusting those closest to us.

“I wouldn’t put it past her,” one grandchild told police. “I wouldn’t put nothing past her.” The sentencing of Carol Ray brought some measure of closure to Bennett’s family, but the pain of losing a beloved grandmother in such a tragic and senseless manner will likely linger for years.

“I just don’t get why my grandma would make a Facebook post saying she’s at home you guys show up and she’s not there,” a grandchild said. “And that was literally two minutes ago. As soon as you pulled away she texts my dad that.”

The case serves as a stark reminder that sometimes the most dangerous people are the ones we least suspect. “You don’t seem very concerned,” a detective told Ray during questioning. “I’m trying to.

I’m more concerned for your mom than you are.” The investigation into Patricia Bennett’s disappearance and death revealed a web of lies, deceit, and financial exploitation that ultimately led to the arrest and conviction of her own daughter. “Carol Ray appears to have an explanation for everything,” the episode narrator noted, “but as she’s questioned more and more, her story begins to unravel.”

The case is a tragic example of how greed and desperation can drive a person to commit unthinkable acts against their own family. “I have no idea,” one grandchild said when asked why their mother would prevent them from seeing their grandmother. “My mother’s always been about as long as she can get a check.

All about money.” The discovery of Bennett’s body in the garage of her own home, hidden in plain sight for months, is a chilling reminder of the darkness that can lurk behind closed doors. “Nothing seems out of the ordinary inside the home,” the episode narrator said.

“Officers haven’t found any obvious evidence of a crime, but without a search warrant, there’s only so much they can see.” The case has been widely covered in the media, with many outlets highlighting the bravery of Bennett’s grandchildren in pushing for answers. “They tell a completely different story,” the narrator said.

“They say they haven’t heard from their grandma in months. In months? Yeah.

How many months? November. Since when?

November at least.” The investigation was a testament to the persistence of law enforcement and the importance of listening to family members who suspect foul play. “We’re going to make contact with her, make sure she’s okay, and that’s all we’re going to do,” an officer told Ray.

“Let him know that we’re going to let him know she’s okay, and that’s it, okay?” But the officers’ instincts told them something was wrong, and they continued to push for answers. “We just got a phone call from the other Carol,” a detective told Ray, “who says she hasn’t seen your mom since 2015.”

The revelation that Bennett’s sister had not seen her in years was a major breakthrough in the case, leading investigators to obtain a search warrant and ultimately discover the truth. “Your statement is your mother was not here last night,” a detective told Ray. “She was over there.

The woman that she’s with, you state hasn’t seen her 4 or 5 years. So, where is she?” The case is a stark reminder of the importance of thorough police work and the role of family members in reporting suspicious behavior.

“If we can’t find her, where do I go?” a grandchild asked officers. “Where do I go from here?

“I wouldn’t put it past her,” one grandchild told police. “I wouldn’t put nothing past her.” The sentencing of Carol Ray brought some measure of closure to Bennett’s family, but the pain of losing a beloved grandmother in such a tragic and senseless manner will likely linger for years.

“I just don’t get why my grandma would make a Facebook post saying she’s at home you guys show up and she’s not there,” a grandchild said. “And that was literally two minutes ago. As soon as you pulled away she texts my dad that.”

The case serves as a stark reminder that sometimes the most dangerous people are the ones we least suspect. “You don’t seem very concerned,” a detective told Ray during questioning. “I’m trying to.

I’m more concerned for your mom than you are.” The investigation into Patricia Bennett’s disappearance and death revealed a web of lies, deceit, and financial exploitation that ultimately led to the arrest and conviction of her own daughter. “Carol Ray appears to have an explanation for everything,” the episode narrator noted, “but as she’s questioned more and more, her story begins to unravel.”

The case is a tragic example of how greed and desperation can drive a person to commit unthinkable acts against their own family. “I have no idea,” one grandchild said when asked why their mother would prevent them from seeing their grandmother. “My mother’s always been about as long as she can get a check.

All about money.” The discovery of Bennett’s body in the garage of her own home, hidden in plain sight for months, is a chilling reminder of the darkness that can lurk behind closed doors. “Nothing seems out of the ordinary inside the home,” the episode narrator said.

“Officers haven’t found any obvious evidence of a crime, but without a search warrant, there’s only so much they can see.” The case has been widely covered in the media, with many outlets highlighting the bravery of Bennett’s grandchildren in pushing for answers. “They tell a completely different story,” the narrator said.

“They say they haven’t heard from their grandma in months. In months? Yeah.

How many months? November. Since when?

November at least.” The investigation was a testament to the persistence of law enforcement and the importance of listening to family members who suspect foul play. “We’re going to make contact with her, make sure she’s okay, and that’s all we’re going to do,” an officer told Ray.

“Let him know that we’re going to let him know she’s okay, and that’s it, okay?” But the officers’ instincts told them something was wrong, and they continued to push for answers. “We just got a phone call from the other Carol,” a detective told Ray, “who says she hasn’t seen your mom since 2015.”

The revelation that Bennett’s sister had not seen her in years was a major breakthrough in the case, leading investigators to obtain a search warrant and ultimately discover the truth. “Your statement is your mother was not here last night,” a detective told Ray. “She was over there.

The woman that she’s with, you state hasn’t seen her 4 or 5 years. So, where is she?” The case is a stark reminder of the importance of thorough police work and the role of family members in reporting suspicious behavior.

“If we can’t find her, where do I go?” a grandchild asked officers. “Where do I go from here?

Missing person?” The investigation was a collaborative effort between the Roseville Police Department and the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office, with detectives working tirelessly to uncover the truth. “We’re not going to leave,” a detective told Ray.

“We’re not going to go away until we figure out what’s going on with your mom.” The case has been featured on the true crime series “Female Criminals,” which detailed the investigation and the eventual discovery of Bennett’s body. “Welcome to Female Criminals,” the host said.

I’m more concerned for your mom than you are.” The investigation into Patricia Bennett’s disappearance and death revealed a web of lies, deceit, and financial exploitation that ultimately led to the arrest and conviction of her own daughter. “Carol Ray appears to have an explanation for everything,” the episode narrator noted, “but as she’s questioned more and more, her story begins to unravel.”

The case is a tragic example of how greed and desperation can drive a person to commit unthinkable acts against their own family. “I have no idea,” one grandchild said when asked why their mother would prevent them from seeing their grandmother. “My mother’s always been about as long as she can get a check.

All about money.” The discovery of Bennett’s body in the garage of her own home, hidden in plain sight for months, is a chilling reminder of the darkness that can lurk behind closed doors. “Nothing seems out of the ordinary inside the home,” the episode narrator said.

“Officers haven’t found any obvious evidence of a crime, but without a search warrant, there’s only so much they can see.” The case has been widely covered in the media, with many outlets highlighting the bravery of Bennett’s grandchildren in pushing for answers. “They tell a completely different story,” the narrator said.

“They say they haven’t heard from their grandma in months. In months? Yeah.

How many months? November. Since when?

November at least.” The investigation was a testament to the persistence of law enforcement and the importance of listening to family members who suspect foul play. “We’re going to make contact with her, make sure she’s okay, and that’s all we’re going to do,” an officer told Ray.

“Let him know that we’re going to let him know she’s okay, and that’s it, okay?” But the officers’ instincts told them something was wrong, and they continued to push for answers. “We just got a phone call from the other Carol,” a detective told Ray, “who says she hasn’t seen your mom since 2015.”

The revelation that Bennett’s sister had not seen her in years was a major breakthrough in the case, leading investigators to obtain a search warrant and ultimately discover the truth. “Your statement is your mother was not here last night,” a detective told Ray. “She was over there.

The woman that she’s with, you state hasn’t seen her 4 or 5 years. So, where is she?” The case is a stark reminder of the importance of thorough police work and the role of family members in reporting suspicious behavior.

“If we can’t find her, where do I go?” a grandchild asked officers. “Where do I go from here?

Missing person?” The investigation was a collaborative effort between the Roseville Police Department and the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office, with detectives working tirelessly to uncover the truth. “We’re not going to leave,” a detective told Ray.

“We’re not going to go away until we figure out what’s going on with your mom.” The case has been featured on the true crime series “Female Criminals,” which detailed the investigation and the eventual discovery of Bennett’s body. “Welcome to Female Criminals,” the host said.

“I’m Elizabeth Milner. Roseville, Michigan. That’s where we meet this week’s female criminal, Carol Marie Ray.”

The episode highlighted the chilling details of the case, including the moment officers found Bennett’s remains. “She’s back there,” an officer said. “Oh, yeah?

Yeah, man. In a 70-gallon tub.” The case has left a lasting impact on the community, serving as a cautionary tale about the dangers of trusting those closest to us.

“I wouldn’t put it past her,” one grandchild told police. “I wouldn’t put nothing past her.” The sentencing of Carol Ray brought some measure of closure to Bennett’s family, but the pain of losing a beloved grandmother in such a tragic and senseless manner will likely linger for years.

All about money.” The discovery of Bennett’s body in the garage of her own home, hidden in plain sight for months, is a chilling reminder of the darkness that can lurk behind closed doors. “Nothing seems out of the ordinary inside the home,” the episode narrator said.

“Officers haven’t found any obvious evidence of a crime, but without a search warrant, there’s only so much they can see.” The case has been widely covered in the media, with many outlets highlighting the bravery of Bennett’s grandchildren in pushing for answers. “They tell a completely different story,” the narrator said.

“They say they haven’t heard from their grandma in months. In months? Yeah.

How many months? November. Since when?

November at least.” The investigation was a testament to the persistence of law enforcement and the importance of listening to family members who suspect foul play. “We’re going to make contact with her, make sure she’s okay, and that’s all we’re going to do,” an officer told Ray.

“Let him know that we’re going to let him know she’s okay, and that’s it, okay?” But the officers’ instincts told them something was wrong, and they continued to push for answers. “We just got a phone call from the other Carol,” a detective told Ray, “who says she hasn’t seen your mom since 2015.”

The revelation that Bennett’s sister had not seen her in years was a major breakthrough in the case, leading investigators to obtain a search warrant and ultimately discover the truth. “Your statement is your mother was not here last night,” a detective told Ray. “She was over there.

The woman that she’s with, you state hasn’t seen her 4 or 5 years. So, where is she?” The case is a stark reminder of the importance of thorough police work and the role of family members in reporting suspicious behavior.

“If we can’t find her, where do I go?” a grandchild asked officers. “Where do I go from here?

Missing person?” The investigation was a collaborative effort between the Roseville Police Department and the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office, with detectives working tirelessly to uncover the truth. “We’re not going to leave,” a detective told Ray.

“We’re not going to go away until we figure out what’s going on with your mom.” The case has been featured on the true crime series “Female Criminals,” which detailed the investigation and the eventual discovery of Bennett’s body. “Welcome to Female Criminals,” the host said.
