Diaper Wearing 13-Year-Old Girl With Disabilities Found Dead In Horror House That ‘Smelled Of Death And Human Waste.’

APPLETON – The police officer who found 13-year-old Brianna Gussert dead in her bedroom described “a smell in the air of rotten food, human waste and death” inside the home, according to a criminal complaint filed Monday against the girl’s mother.

Brianna, whose disabilities left her entirely dependent on others, died primarily of sepsis after her mother left her alone in her bedroom for days on Memorial Day weekend last year, authorities said.
