Confounding investigators are claims that the estranged son was purportedly last seen in 2008 when he was in a car accident. However, a relative told police his family hasn’t seen him in 20 years, a police official said.
A neighbor speaking to the nydailynews told of the ‘old woman’ living in the house as a ‘recluse.’
‘She never said hello. She always walking down the street with a grocery bag,’ the neighbor said. ‘She would walk looking down. Something about her always seemed a little weird.’
The neighbor added that a tan Ford Explorer had been parked in the same spot in the driveway for years, without moving once.
To date no charges have been laid on the mother as commentators wonder why the mother kept her son’s death a secret and even more bizarrely why she chose to live with his skeletal remains all this years in secret?
