BROOKLINE, MA (WCMH) — Police say the woman’s body was found under a kitchen table, and had been then for more than a year.
“I never saw a single person go in and out. I never saw a car in the driveway or a car parked outside,” neighbor George Tolis told WCVB.
Officials say the door of the home had been nailed shut and that the five bedroom home was in total disrepair.
A family found the decomposing body of the 67-year-old woman, underneath the kitchen table. Police said it is believed her body had been there for about a year and a half.
The older sister, 70, had continued living in the home that officials described as showing signs of hoarding disorder.
