SYDNEY -- When an elderly Australian woman apparently vanished from view eight years ago, no one bothered to call the police. Not her relatives, her neighbors, or government officials, who kept paying her welfare benefits into a bank account that sat untouched.
New South Wales state police said Wednesday that they discovered the woman's skeletal remains on the floor of her Sydney home on Tuesday, after her sister-in-law finally called them to report that she had not heard from the woman – who would have turned 87 next month – since 2003
."It's sad that the woman appears to have died several years ago without anyone noticing," said police Acting Superintendent Zoran Dzevlan.
That must have been one mean grannie!
No one wanted to be around her, or associate with her, to be friends enough to want to see her.
Apparently, she was a recluse who had a fight with her one remaining relative--her sister in law-- shortly before she died. They hadn't spoken in years.
If she had auto pay for her bills the utilities would still have been going. What happened to her yard? Just went to weeds? Now she has a proper resting place.
