I keep wondering.... they said a space heater was on this whole time? She must have had a system set up to pay bills then, else her electricity would have been turned off... Sigh. I know I will be keeping me eyes open from now on. If I think someone lives alone and I don't see them for a while, I might get just nosy enough to be sure they're okay. I did that before for a neighbor, turned out she'd gone on vacation and forgot to do a mail-stop for her mail. But I don't regret asking the landlord to reach her and make sure she was ok.

Anyway, off topic. It's just so sad.

Seattle is all I need to say.
Reminds me of something I saw on Criminal Minds... case in question was an UnSub's mother who had died long before, nobody knew and he had never had her declared deceased so he could hide behind her various accounts.

In the age of Direct Deposit and Automatic Bill Pay, it's the closest thing to perpetual motion. So sadly, we'll be hearing more about cases like this.
