Melissa Sue Platt

 

On October 8, 2008, when Texas resident, Marian Mims, was unable to reach her 31 year-old daughter, Melissa, in North Carolina where she lived with her boyfriend, Marian called authorities in Lenoir County to request that they check on her welfare. Authorities discovered Melissa in her Pink Hill home, wearing only a t-shirt, wrapped in a blanket on her bed, incapacitated, and suffering from numerous injuries. Melissa was rushed to a hospital and then air-lifted to Pitt County Memorial Hospital’s trauma center in Greenville, NC.

Melissa’s injuries included bruises on her back, stomach, legs, arms, and behind her ear. Her left eye was blackened. Her jaw was broken on both the left and right sides of her face.

Doctors immediately performed a craniotomy to try to relieve the pressure on her brain, inserting a tube into the right side of her head.

Her boyfriend did not seek medical attention for her. What he is believed to have done instead is wrap her in the blanket on the bed, feed her liquor through a straw, and leave her there alone while he went to and from work.

The family was also told that they discovered old head injuries when they performed the craniotomy. Her boyfriend did not call, nor visit Melissa in the hospital......read more
