woman dies at home; takes 5 yrs for anyone to notice

For at least five years, the woman’s body lay clothed in a winter jacket in the backseat of her Jeep in the garage of a home where she lived alone.

Her bills were automatically deducted from her bank account, and residents of the quiet middle-class Pontiac, Mich. neighborhood said they noticed nothing amiss.

Nobody saw her, but the grass was cut and the mail didn’t pile up. Some neighbors said they thought she had moved out of the country after the recession hit several years ago.

Just a tidbit because the OP is a lazy jerk.

Who was cutting the grass? Was that on auto pay too?

how in the hell did she make money and pay bills for 5 years?

thanks

That really stinks.

Too bad she didn't leave up her Xmas decorations.

who was collecting the mail?

I wonder what she did for a living. I can't imagine a person not having one single relationship to where someone would noticed.

She must have had a lot of money in her account (obviously), which would be spent up a lot slower if you're only paying house bills. No need to buy groceries, clothes, gas, etc. if you're dead!

The remains of a woman were found sitting in front of her TV - 42 years after she was reported missing. Hedviga Golik, who was born in 1924, had apparently made herself a cup of tea before sitting in her favorite armchair in front of her black and white television set. Croatian police said that she was last seen by neighbors in 1966, when she would have been 42 years old. Her neighbors thought she had moved out of her flat in Zagreb.
