The bodies of three apparent adults were found Wednesday inside an Irvine home, prompting authorities to launch an investigation of a possible murder-suicide, police said. MORE: abc7.com/irvin...
There was a shy international kid in my high school who suffered severe asthma attack in his apartment and passed away. He lived by himself (parents live overseas) so no one was there to help him (apparently he tried to make it to his kitchen to grab his inhaler but was too late). He didn't show up to school for a week so the school & his parents called, no one answered. When they sent the police over they realized he's already been dead for several days. No one knew about his health condition because he didn't have friends. To this day, (a decade later) I still think about that kid and his family. Just sad that he left this world alone.
If it's any comfort he probably went unconscious quickly (proven by not making it to his inhaler). I doubt he even have time to think of anyone much less be panicked, sad or regretful he was away from his family. Try to replace those sad memories you have about him by replacing them with 'he's no longer suffering' or - if you're a believer 'he's in a better place now and will see his family again someday'.
One of the tenants at my small apartment complex died on the side of his bed and wasn't found until a month later. I complained to management that something was wrong weeks before . He would usually leave a bag or two of garbage out his front door and I would throw it away for him because he had some health issues and had a hard time walking to the dumpster. I felt something was wrong when a week passed and didn't see any garbage left outside his front door. I told management about it a few times That they should check on him to make sure he was okay, but no one listened until I smelled something and saw flies swarming the bedroom window and front door... Also noticed a little cobweb at the bottom of the corner of his door I knew then that no one had been in or out of that apartment so I knocked on the manager's door again. We called the local fire department to do a welfare check and sure enough he had been decomposing on his bed for about a month.He had no one - His name was Rick - 🙏🏻✨
How tragic... sorry for your loss. He may have not been family but it sounds like Rick had a special place in your heart. And you in his! It's nice to know there's still good people out there. Your genuine concern and acts of service to him meant more than you know. I just felt like I had to tell you that. Take care ❤️
This reminds me of the case where it took three years to discover a woman had been dead in her apartment for three years. Her disappearance didn't ring any bells because she didn't usually keep in contact with her loved ones on a regular basis. She died wrapping Christmas gifts and they couldn't determine her cause of death.
I’m thankful we found the bodies so fast since they either died in their sleep (my mom) or we knew it was gonna happen (my grandpa with Alzheimer’s) either way, seeing and caring for a dead body is terrifying. I hope you guys are doing well, my family is finally moving past my grandpas death, it happened during COVID so we were with the body for a couple hours, even after they showed up I had to help carry him out, the body pickup was too weak on his own. The tackiness of the skin is unforgettable.
@@BEmeraldJade It takes 5 minutes or less to make a simple phone call. “People get busy” is a HORRIBLE excuse. If you’re a person that’s too busy to make a phone call, that’s pretty trashy.
Most communities with lots of elderly people keep an eye on each other, but younger people often don’t think about any need for it. If people are isolated from friends & family, don’t work & have bills auto-paid, it’s very easy to have an accident or worse & not be found for a long time. Although the smell tends to travel outside the house for a reasonable distance. Maybe not a huge house like this one, but most ordinary houses.
@@alicepopovski6303 Unfortunately we don’t all get great neighbours & some people are indeed just miserable human beings, but hopefully you still keep an eye on her anyway. I get that it’s hard to do for some people. If you notice a horrible smell emanating from the house & haven’t seen her for a while, definitely time to call police/ambulance
Exactly. That's why everyone in the house is dead, because they DID have a gun. I love the endless nonsense in comments stating 'this is why we need MORE guns in everyone's hands'.... there are WAY more guns than people in the US, and the US is by far the leader in frequency of mass shootings (at least one a day at this point?). I'm so fckng over the ignorant gun fetish agenda. Get a clue already.
It’s easy to not hear from certain relatives for over a year, especially depending on their vocation. For them to have been dead for OVER a year though is frightening. You just never know what goes on behind the walls of someone’s house. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@ghoststardancer5030 They should make a movie about it. Or I bet you could write a great story. I appreciate that you talk about the things I often wonder about, in these cases.
The wife karina Poirier filed for divorce on 11/22/19. How did they still not be discovered with an active court case going on?! It’s all very weird to me.
@@Kerrviii very true. I have a cousin that I grew up with, we were very close. She started dating a guy and they moved around so often (and sometimes I would call her, not get an answer) that I didn’t know where she was. Eventually she would call me back and I just reduced it to her being too busy to talk. Unfortunately, this is also true for my younger brother who now lives in GA. These kinds of stories make me nervous.
I do exterior remodels in Irvine and I can easily say that allot of the houses are paid in cash and go empty for years. That being said, I’m not surprised their absence went unnoticed.
Now you can't tell me the mailman didn't notice something when the mail kept piling up in the mailbox. Everybody gets junk mail even if they have automatic payments.
The mailman didn't notice I forgot to put the address on my mail. Return address and stamp was on it. I got mail returned to me. They could have left it on my mailbox. My point, hardly anyone pay attention anymore.
I heard of another case when a man died in his apartment and was there for months. His bills were on auto pay and the only way they found out was because they noticed after months that no one had turned on the water in the apartment. The person also travelled frequently and didn't have close fam or friends nearby.
@@kamikazekid94 it's so important to be close to atleast one person you can trust. One person to check in with. 😣 It is sad. The internet has a way to connect us but also a way to disconnect us with each other at the same time!
I remember watching an episode of crime scene cleaners and they were called to clean up a “body” from an upstairs apartment- when they got there, they learned that no body had checked on this guy for like 2 years bc all his bills were on auto pay. And the only reason they did a welfare check was bc it had been so long that the body decomposed to sludge and it was leaking into the downstairs neighbor’s bathroom ceiling from his floor
What is the point of living in a gated community for fear of others when your neighbours 10 feet away don't even know you have gone missing?? That's a very clear indictment of the society we live in.
Very well said and agree. I have old colleagues from over two years ago ring me often because they know I live alone. But sadly today not alot of people pay attention to what others are doing.
Neighbors actually minding their own business and the fact that their lawn was still being maintained. Since we don't have a culprit we 'HAVE' to be upset with someone lol
Automatic payment for everything besides we just went through a pandemic where utility companies are not cutting ppl off who haven’t paid for 2 years! If you didn’t see them you just assumed they left or move due to the pandemic. A perfect time to disappear - sad.
I live and work in the area. The majority of the homes in these affluent neighborhoods stand barren* quite often because the owners are constantly traveling or own multiple homes and primarily live elsewhere. Also, I've found that the wealthy either hire people that pay their bills for them, pay everything a year in advance, or are on autopay. Landscapers might be the only people who come and go from the property, but like I said, it's not uncommon for nobody to be home for long periods of time in these neighborhoods. Super sad situation, and even sadder that it took the relatives over a year to reach out. Edit: wanted to add that they may have used a PO box or another mailing address/mail service which is why mail wasn't visibly piled up.
Guessing that they’re an international family which split time here and overseas. Probably didn’t socialize with any of the neighbors because of language and culture.
For all those wondering, the smell would not have been gone, just altered. The bodily fluids would have also caused molds as it seeped into the flooring.
Karina Poirier and Serge G. are listed as the owners of the house. Karina was a psychology doctor who wrote several books on autism. She had a kidney issue and was looking for a donor. Her husband had cancer. Their son was autistic. She filed for a divorce in 2019.
@@oceanrocks that's really sad, hope they didn't just give up on life and end their suffering, hope they trusted God as lord before they departed, seeing that they must have felt hopeless, living life helping others when they themselves needed it as well
It took family members a whole year to contact authorities… we had a whole pandemic where all ppl did was checking on relatives even the ones they don’t like. Too sad 🥺
I live in Irvine about 3 miles from this neighborhood. I also have a house/cabin in the mountains. We are there maybe once every 3 months for a couple days.
Imagine being the neighbors and realizing that you've been living next to a house with 3 decomposing bodies in it that's been there for over a year... I would definitely be more aware of my surroundings after that. Very frightening and chilling.
no different than living next to a cemetery... weve probably all lived next to a dead body. throughout humanity billions of ppl have died. odds are theres a dead body under everyones house lol might be a mile down but im sure they are there
@@janjan6661 I think it is different because you expect people to be dead in a cemetery. Not so much in the house next door. The smell must have been noticeable at some point.
No way they neighbors hadn't been smelling something funky for a long time. No one could just put two pieces of the puzzle together and realize the absolute putrid smell was rotting corpse's
I lived in an apartment once and an elderly man was found dead on the floor by the apartment manager. I was sick about it for a long time. He lived alone I can't imagine multiple people being found dead. Rip
He liked the solitude. Could have kept in touch with some friends or family. Or even the neighbors. But he didn't. Which has its advantages and disadvantages. Don't know how it is your fault. You get what you pay for.

Didn't these people have jobs or friends close by that would have missed them? Didn't the neighbors wonder when they didn't see them come and go anymore? This just doesn't make much sense.
How does no one NOT miss you after a couple of days, weeks, months? These people must have not had any close personal relationships that would have caused anyone NOT to miss them. Very tragic and sad on so many levels.
I'm just wondering about any unpaid bills piling up and no one in the insurance/mortgage/electric companies noticing all the missed payment deadlines and being suspicious.
Very easy I myself am alone in this world with no immediate family. No one calls or checks up. 🤷♂️ I've always been the person to initiate contact. But if I don't do that no one else bothers. (It's something where most people won't understand until it happens to them)
Honestly, I can kind of understand this. My husband and I don’t talk to our family very often, it’s sad. It definitely wouldn’t take a year to discover if we died but a few weeks maybe. No one really checks up on us too regularly and our neighbors mind their own business. It terrifies me sometimes because we have small children. I wish we lived in community more with other people. It’s a lonely world out there.
What about work? Wouldn't they notice? I also don't have family in the country that I live in. My mum also lives alone in another country. So every morning we send eachother a message. Even if it's just an emoji. But it's something that we do and would be noticed if that suddenly stopped. I live alone with my 2 children so if something should happen to me, my older one (7years old) kinda knows what to do.
@@claddagh8nuts yea that’s my only consolation. My husband’s work would notice, hopefully they would notify police. My children are only 3, 2 and 3 months so I just hope nothing would happen to both my husband and I and leave them waiting for police to discover is. Ugh so terrifying!
If you have the time to dedicate to a dog, that is the best way to meet your neighbors. I met all of my neighbors walking my dog. Everyone wants to pet her and say "hi". Adopt a dog who is in need of a good home from the pound. I was the new person in the neighborhood and I literally introduced many of the neighbors to the other neighbors because I knew all of them. And some had lived in the neighborhood for years and did not know one another. Now we all look out for each another.
Seems odd that there is no mention of how bills were paid, possibly automatic withdrawal, no mail piled up or not collected. This is something that may have been discovered sooner if not for COVID lockdowns over the past 2 years. Keep in touch with your family and friends, maybe all they need is a phone call to keep them from going over the edge.
It could be possible that they paid bills in advance. It seems they had the money. If they paid someone to keep up with the yard in advance, the yard still would be maintained, etc. I live in Florida and there are a lot of people in my neighborhood who are only there for the winter. They go back up north the rest of the year. I see how it could happen. Especially if they don’t have any close family members that talk to them.
@@leticiaruelas5423 It would give reason for not discovering the bodies for so long, people weren't at work and everything was locked down during COVID. People were not going to peoples houses. I am not saying they had COVID only that had it not been for COVID neighbors may have noticed that they weren't out and about.
@@Usernamebbn strange how things change I’m just saying because most neighborhoods in the past everyone knows each other and now days it seems like it’s not anymore
I'm sorry, this is so horrible. I keep close tabs on most of my family and close friends. I'm a handyman and I even had a close customer seek me out once, she reached out and when i didn't respond to her call ( which I immediately do) because she didn't hear from me she continued to call. I lost my phone prior to leaving for vacation and she tried to connect with me and continued to contact me, once I recieved my replacement I immediately called her to explain and I thanked her. Had something really been wrong she would have started to contact the police. She followed her instinct and that is what we need to do. It's not being nosey it's about going with that gut feeling when things just don't feel right. My condolences to the family and friend's of the deceased. This family was gone and forgotten. 🙏
Thank you for saying this. I lost a friend of mine over a year ago. I hadn't heard from her for about 3 weeks and she lived by herself. I was the one who found her dead body when I did a welfare check. Very sad situation. Like you said, "make sure you check up on people when you first suspect something isnt right". It's better to be safe than sorry.
@@trailhopper883 Definitely, I'm sorry for your lost. I'm certain it wasn't easy for you. I literally just went thru a situation with a childhood friend of mine, Pops ( called him that since we were kids) and his close friend Jr. The day before they were together Jr had a beer, went home to sleep and a day later never woke up, his daughter after returning from a weekend trip got Pops, Pops had to remove an ac unit to climb into the apartment because the front door was locked and had an additional pad lock. My buddy had a difficult time at the wake, considering he was the person to find him, he advise his daughter not to enter the bedroom and view him that way.. it wasn't going leave a good last memory. I think this happens more then we'd like to imagine. Unfortunately.....
The Bible says in the New Testament which is what we go by as Christian believers we are to love the Lord God with all of our heart all of our mind and all of our soul and then the second commandment is love thy neighbor as thyself so I can even believe nobody checked on these people I can't believe nobody smelled the rancid smell of decaying bodies I mean some things not right in this picture and someone else mentioned mortgage payments they should have been an eviction notice I would think even just a neighbor would notice your card never moved but maybe they live there and we're staying in and you're right covid has done a lot of crazy things to people or cause them to do crazy things it's very sad I can't imagine being that sad in life that you would kill your family and yourself over covid I mean if that's the situation certainly could be
While it worked out in your case, sadly to a lot of people these days many people would see this as being a bit clingy and annoying. I am glad it showed that you cared about your client.
So no one noticed that bills weren't getting paid, people weren't showing up for their jobs, mail was accumulating in mailbox, cars haven't moved in over a year, and where were their friends and family??!! That's so bizarre. Also, I'm gonna bet it was the 30 yr old son (who lived at home with his parents.. which seems to be a prerequisite for these types of killings) who committed the murders. What an awful situation all around.
Also we're talking about during covet as well you know some people are still wearing the mask and still staying in I can't believe it but there are some people so who knows we don't know their minds or what was going on in their lives it's just one of the saddest things I've ever heard
From what I understand, the adult son was autistic, so not exactly the deadbeat stereotype you're going for. With both parents having terminal illnesses, I think it's safer to assume they made some kind of pact and one of them did the mercy killing before offing themself.
AGAIN you people do not understand what living in a gated community with a strong HOA is like. Cars that haven't been moved? They have to be garaged. Mail? I addressed that at least twice...pay attention! It is very easy to live under the grid here....As we speak I haven't seen my neighbors in maybe 5 days and who cares? It's not my business and I'm not nosy!
Automatic bill payment - if they have a source of income that doesn't require anyone to go into work (or just a lot of money in the bank). Smart lights scheduled to go off and on. Cars parked in a garage. Or maybe everyone just thought they moved.
Unfortunately I don't find it surprising. There are some people in my neighborhood that never interact with anyone. They are invited to events, they are waved at, spoken to but it is never returned. They just never interact with anyone in the neighborhood. We don't know anything about them. It's not because we're unfriendly. They don't want to make friendships or even just be neighborly. It's sad.
Wow, what an awful situation. Why would you wait that long to check on them if you're the family member? The full-story on this should be interesting to say the least.
I have a feeling that they weren't really in close contact. Like in my situation, most of my family is in Europe while I am in the USA and we really don't check up on each other, around only once a year. So, I can totally see this happening.
If family was in Canada and they were in USA, they might not have known who to contact or how to go about it. From the video, it says the family contacted Canadian Police and Canadian police contacted the California police. It’s possible the dead family had more than one home ( Canada and USA) so they moved back and forth like snowbirds. ( ie winter in one place and summer in another). Just speculation as to why their might have been a delay.
Do we really need any more proof that we live in end times and love has grown cold? How could nobody check on them for a year? Love has truly grown cold in all of us...
They are Chinese you silly liberal. They made a killing in the Shanghai wet markets and then moved to America. Their relatives are from Canada and their adult son still lives with them. You finished all the shark fin soup. You very very bad boy. You take that back, pop, pop!
Very few people talk to neighbors anymore - Neighborhoods are not really neighborhoods anymore, they are private cemeteries for the living. All the security and doorbell cameras and everyone is scared of everybody, this does not surprise me SMH
i know, when i was a kid not too long ago, i was out on the streets playing with my friends making noise, and we weren't the only ones, the whole block just felt alive because people would always be out doing something or just talking with friends. Now where i live, i never really see kids playing outside, it's rare nowadays
@@miguelurena374 So True! Your experience Mirrors mine. What his happened? As a child I spent a lot more time outside than inside. Everyday except for rainy days.
I find that weird how neighbors didn’t suspect something. I’m very well aware of my neighbors when they are around. Even if they are on vacation I usually am aware there’s been no activity for few days. Strange. Sad situation
Yeah maybe a few of my neighbors but my neighbors directly next to me have been EXTREMELY quiet for the past 20 years they've lived there (I've lived here my whole life). They never open the windows even on a nice day. You never see lights. You need see blinds opened. I've never even heard a hammer before. It's the craziest thing. I've had to knock on their door a few times and rhey won't open the front they'll peek out the top window and ask what we need. They never come out in the summer. Never had a cookout. Nothing. Very very strange.
@@brooker4149 That is very odd. I hope you don’t live next door to more Turpin types, or a psychopathic couple who are holding women hostage in their basement 😳 Of course, one of them might just suffer from agoraphobia perhaps or are hoarders who don’t want anyone to see inside their house, or maybe they grow or cook drugs? Or maybe they’re just plain weird. If I were you I’d document anything odd that I noticed & consider mentioning it to the cops just in case. You could do an anonymous tip 🤷♀️ If they just happen to be super quiet private people, no harm done except a bit of annoyance to them. But if they’re not, you could maybe save someone.
what about the electric bills, credit card bills, gas bills, homeowner's garden bills? no one contacted them or visited them? office workers or close friends?
Automatic payments, class/ cultural based social isolation, a history of being loners...RIP this is awful. People let's go back to being a little more involved in the lives of our neighbors, this is ridiculous...
@@someguy9778 we've been on the downward spiral for a few months now. My initial thoughts were that but why was no one aware cars have not left, groceries were not delivered, not even a person in the backyard like I often did during the worst of the issue. This is a strong case of us not caring for one another. 1.5 years is a long time to not see someone and not ask questions.
It is a cultural thing unfornately,as think I saw the dad with his autistic son 1 year ago playing soccer at a park in foothills ranch.the son in his 30s. This has become common in orange county in these multimillion dollar homes in the gated communities.
@@ZuzuBell Hey, you are right- pandemic or not, neighbors are not neighbors anymore. Everyone stays to themselves now. It's seems like a ghost town in the nice NH I live in. No one borrows a cup of sugar anymore.
If it’s the people that lived in the home, who paid the mortgage, the taxes, the utilities. Why didn’t their coworkers noticed them missing? Friends, family??
maybe they quit as this was prob planned...bills all on auto withdrawal. Looks like they didnt have contact with anyone regularly so no one got suspicious early on.
This is quite sad. It’s disheartening that it took this long before someone thought to check on them. Where are the immediate family members, close friends, siblings, cousins etc…. Do the neighbors ever visit or speak from their yard? Do they own their own businesses? When they didn’t show up for work regularly did that not raise a red flag? I guess not seeing your neighbors regularly doesn’t raise concern. So many failed them. May their souls Rest In Peace. Prayers and condolences to those who love, miss and cared about them.😔🕊🙏🏾
Jesus boom. . . . . . Hello , dont neighbors check on one another, still.... HERE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ?.,....' IM IN LONG BEACH, I KNOW MY NEIGHBORS
This is definitely odd. So many key things you stated. All 3 are at working age. Possible that maybe they were not working since the start of pandemic because most jobs if not all have you put down emergency contact if they can't reach you. But no friends or family of either individual thought to do a welfare check in 18 months??
I’m truly confused as to how their absences went unnoticed for so long. Especially because they lived in a gated community How were their HOA fees being paid, their property taxes, etc… I have so many questions. This is truly bizarre 😳
I have all my Bill's on autopay. I have quite a bit of money that would easily cover my Bill's for a year. I guess if my car didn't move my neighbors might think it a bit odd but probably would assume I'm car pooling. My once a year hoa payment covers lawncare. In fact if I dies suddenly and didn't have my parents near by like I do. I wouldnt be surprised if my bodies not found for at least 6 months.
And the property taxes might well have been in arrears. Most of the time when that happens, it doesn't mean the owners are dead, and it takes a long time for anything drastic like a property sale to be done.
I always try to keep an extra eye and ear out for my neighbors and even when I'm out and driving around. You just never know, you might save someone one day. I'm not nosey, but I like to think I could help should I ever see something. We should always keep an eye out for things that seem off
A home like that likely has a lot of hardwood and tile plus the human body is 70%+ water anyway and even a plywood sub flooring exposed to the elements outside during framing is resilient long term. I’m not a chemist, scientist or biologist but I do know what a woman is
@@jessebaca2750 actully you should be able too if your not a smoker, on drugs because you won’t know what’s going on really same like alcohol…. You’d think maybe sewers at the most …. I don’t get how clueless people are to noticed these type of areas these people always have lawn care taken care of, clean cars… always doing garage sells or. Just going through neighborhood walk… kind of weird nobody saw any of these sings…. Neglect of garden… neglect of car washes… etc….
@@jenniferviveros7521 pet would have been mentioned. The car would not have been on payments....someone that buys a home like that doesn't normally have car loans. In the comments it says it is typical for them to have multiple homes and a neighbor assumed they were at a different house.
A lot of non observant ppl in that neighborhood. I would've noticed the car in the same spot, nobody coming and going, mail piling up. Too many ppl in their own world and not paying attention to their surroundings.
I think the thing that confuses me as to how this went unnoticed for so long is there would have to be a very strong smell of decomposition coming from that house. In many many cases of unattended deaths that go unnoticed for longer periods of time it’s common for neighbors to notice the smell and then call it in. The fact that the community has houses that close together and no one noticed even a strange smell is odd. Either no one thought anything of the smell or that house is practically vacuum sealed. Like I personally try not to be nosey with my neighbors but if I ever smell that rotten awful smell I try to pin down where’s it’s coming from. If I just can’t seem to find it I try to ask my neighbors. Just knowing what that smell is actually like makes it hard for me to believe people just straight up ignored it.
I just don't understand? My sister and I are grown adults who live alone in two different states and we make sure to text each other once a week even if it's just a quick hay, hi, or hello. I'm very sad for their family.
How can this happen ?? Do neighbors not talk to each other anymore or get acquainted with each other. What about there neighbors, gardener and pool guy. It is a shame that no one knew they were missing for such a long time. This is just a very sad situation.
I know every one of my neighbors all around the entire block on my block and up and down my side block. Very close community. We have bbqs together where all the neighbors come and hang out from around the neighborhood.
We haven’t heard from my sister in over 4 years. I always wondered what happened to her. She just disappeared. That poor family. Its absolutely tragic. 😢😢😢
You wont believe how often this happens (usually just older people who pass naturally). It makes me wonder how many houses i pass by and there’s some poor person lying dead in there with no one to check on them to see if they’re okay
A gated community has HOA fees that would have gone unpaid. Electric, gas and taxes need to be paid plus mail would have been piling up. No one noticed this?
all auto withdrawn....my account would cover at least a year of bills before they started to bounce...also mail goes to community mail boxes. Once the junk piled up im sure the mail man just removed it thinking these people were at their other property. Apparently a neighbor said its not uncommon for that community to have people that leave their homes vacant for a long period of time .
Baffled that these 3 people had such little life and association with people that it took a year and a half for someone to FINALLY decide to call for a check.. wow..
They seem like rich Canadians who obviously just moved to California and the kid couldn’t handle cali bud and went insane and killed his rich parents or maybe they cut off his inheritance. Either way, Canadians.
I grew up in Irvine, this is so odd that no neighbors thought, “ hmm we have not seen anyone coming or going for a year and a half”. I understand covid, but I too live in a gated community where my front yard is maintained by my association, my neighbors would definitely be concerned after a week or two, (and I work from home)and vice versa. This is very strange .
Some of the neighbors near that house were new there and the family died before they even came.There were only a few houses (that were near) that should have known about them. But I kind of feel bad for the neighbors because some the comments are being really unkind to them and blaming it all on them.
A lot of people have kinda become reclusive since Covid hit. It could also be that people have weird schedules and may not cross paths or see the other neighbors because of timing.
I believe this was a new community (only 4 years old) and with Covid and everything, I believe one of the neighbors said they thought the family went back to Canada.
The rot stench has soaked into the very framework of the house. It's ruined, needs to be torn down. I lived in a death house many years ago, and the stench never quite went away.
My CONDOLENCES to the family's may God comfort them at this time praying for them and God Bless them and give them strength 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊💖💖🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
It's been 5 years since I have last contacted any of my cousin's or aunt's and uncle's. They don't really like me and I don't really like them. So I could see a year easy.
It’s very sad, my deepest condolences. 🙏♥️ Don’t act surprised, not everyone has family, neighbors or have contact with them. COVID changed a lot for people. You never know what someone is going through.
I currently live alone with my dog in a well to do, gated community on the East Coast. I moved here from another State and don't know anyone. I'd like to think that if my neighbors diagonally across the street didn't see me come out to walk the dog or go to the store, someone would call the Sheriff, but I can't be certain of that. None of the other neighbors on my street or around the corner would even care to notice. I have a "plan" in place with a friend from New Jersey, and am also considering one of those "Life Alert" pendants, and I'm still in my 50's.
Get a smart watch. You can talk to it, and if you fall, it asks you for a response if you don't get up. It'll call 911 and it knows your location. I got one after I fell in the driveway. I had my iPhone in my hand, but it went flying into the snow somewhere. Luckily a friend was with me at the time, but I'd have frozen to death if he wasn't there.
a life alert wellness check is once a month I believe. my mother had one and forgot to check in with the service and one day she is in her garden and a police officer walked up to her to see how she was. she offered him veggies! I had the service on autopay living 800 miles away.
@@debrafrakes6479 What a lovely story. Another man told me about a watch that will enable me to speak into it and summon help in the event of a fall, and one that also detects a fall, and if no response is received, automatically summons help.
If all the doors and windows are closed then the odor of decomposing would not be noticed. But when the police entered(probably a forced entry) then the smell would have been unbearable. I have personal experience in this. You never forget the smell of a body(bodies) decomposing. Really sad.
After decomposing for 18 months do you think the smell would have still been around? You would almost think that maggots and flys would have eaten up alot . Weird!!
This is a very daunting and horrifying to discover. You know, some people have the right to "disappear" and maybe they had no immediate family. Not every family is big. That's very sad.
How is it that no family, friends, neighbors, or employers thought to do a wellness check? How is it that the neighbors haven’t smelled anything? No one noticed mail piling up or that the car hadn’t moved? This is so odd!
The only relative to inquirer about them live in Canada and even that took a year of absence for them to report it. These people probably kept to themselves and liked the privacy.
What a world we live in, when your neighbors who live next to you, doesn't know if your alive, or dead. I miss the good old days, when rubber necking kept everyone safe.
Bills probably set up to auto pay would be my guess. I'm wondering how none of their employers missed them... like at least one or two of them had to be working, right? You just stop showing up for work one day and no one thought to have a welfare check done on a missing employee? Wild stuff.
@@AFaceintheCrowd01 it can be, but most people including myself don't have 18 months of bills all on auto pay and in the bank. Maybe they planned it and prepaid everything on purpose?
I live in California, and my father lived in Pennsylvania. When I couldn't get through to my father on the phone- I had the PA police do a safety check. It's how I found out that my father had passed away about two months prior. My greedy uncle, who lives in the same town as my dad, didn't bother to notify me. Imagine that!!!
There are so many assumptions and preconceived notions being stated here. The important thing to keep in mind is that we don't know why they weren't checked on before now.
This is just insane, I mean none of their neighbors found their absence suspicious at all?! It took the family how long to reach out to the authorities? I just simply cannot comprehend this one. I text my neighbor if I see her garage door open, and make sure she’s okay.
That would be very unusual to have everything on auto pay. Think about it. They would have to have enough money in the bank to cover everything for at least 18 months or utilities would be shut off and possibly other bills would not be paid.
