An Arizona woman has been arrested after she strangled her 80-year-old mother because she wouldn't let her borrow her car.
Police in Chandler, near Phoenix, say Elizabeth Ann Ramirez, 59, called 911 around 1:30 p.m. to report that she 'snapped' and killed her mother, Bertha Gutierrez, who was mentally ill.
When officers got to her home, Ramirez took them directly to her mother's body.
She said that she 'just snapped' after a fight with her mom because she wouldn't lend her the car.
Ramirez also told the 911 dispatcher that she wouldn't perform CPR to try to revive her.
When she was asked by the emergency operator if her mother was dead, Ramirez replied: 'I hope so.'
