FOX, just reported one of the daughters claimed they were both in good physical health, even though she hadn’t spoken with her father in several months. There is no way the couple cleaned this house themselves, so how often did a cleaning service come. He had three adult kids, it seems at least one would have called to say hello. The dog that died, a German shepherd was in a crate, probably a trained security dog, while the others were running free. Were they expecting someone and contained the dog.
I am one of four kids. When my mom was alone in her late 70’s she was in good health and very active. I would probably speak to her once a month, knowing my siblings were also in contact.
Yet, one day she tripped and broke her hip. She spent three days on the floor as she was not able to get to the phone.
She was found by the guy who plowed the driveway and mowed the lawn.
We made sure that did not happen again.
