New Homeowner Buys House In Maryland, Only To Find Previous Owner's Dead Body Inside
31 January 2020
NBC 4 Washington
A homeowner in Maryland got an unexpected surprise when they moved into their new home.
After winning their house at a foreclosure auction, the new owner discovered the body of the previous tenant inside.
<p>They discovered the corpse last Saturday in the house located in the District Heights area of Maryland. No signs of foul play were found.</p><p><strong>It was unclear how long the person had been dead.</strong></p><div class="rm-embed embed-media"><script charset="UTF-8" src="https://nbcwashington.com/portableplayer/?CID=1:14:2204784&videoID=1689172035679&origin=nbcwashington.com&fullWidth=y" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>A neighbor of the previous owner provided some details to <em>NBC</em>. They said that the person was a woman with special needs, who had been living in the house with her grandmother.<br></p><blockquote><em>"As we grew up into adults, she never grew up. So she needed help with things and didn't process things as well as an adult would, even though she was an adult."</em></blockquote><p>After the grandmother passed away, the neighbors made sure she was taken care of, bringing her food and giving her rides. She had a caretaker, but when they stopped showing up to the house it was assumed the woman moved or was taken in by her family. </p><p><strong>Soon after, the utilities were shut off.</strong></p><p><div id="insticator-container" class="embedid-c230ccfe-b34e-4c23-8bb0-aaf80e33dfdf"><div id="div-insticator-ad-1"></div><div id="insticator-embed"></div><div id="div-insticator-ad-2"></div><script data-cfasync="false" type="text/javascript">Insticator.ad.loadAd("div-insticator-ad-1");Insticator.ad.loadAd("div-insticator-ad-2");Insticator.load("em",{id : "c230ccfe-b34e-4c23-8bb0-aaf80e33dfdf"})</script></div></p><p><strong>The neighbor expressed shock about her fate.</strong></p><blockquote><em>"If we knew that she was still in there, we would have at least knocked on the door. We would have at least asked her, 'Is everything OK?'"</em></blockquote><p><strong>The case is certainly an interesting one and folks provided interesting commentary.</strong></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-twitter_embed">
