LAS VEGAS (AP) — A four-month search for a missing Las Vegas woman came to a ghastly end this week when her husband found her corpse in their home amid a labyrinth of squalor that had been impassable even to search dogs.

mind blowing
so much swarf in the place that trained cadaver dogs couldn’t pick up any scent
God rest her soul.
Chromosome 14 flaws strike again. :-(
I keep telling my mother that her sewing room (filled with fabric and boxes) will some day come alive and hide her from the rest of the living.
The good news is that her cat loves the place!
Collyer’s mansion pingaroo.
I’ve always wondered how our “caveman” ancestors coped with a cave filled with feces, rotten food, and unwashed bodies. It was and still is in our genes!
If they both lived in the home - where did he think she had gone? Out for a hike? Treasure hunting?
This is beyond bizarre...and gives a whole new meaning to that old song: Bury me not on the Lone Prairie”.
I helped a suicidal Las Vegas woman get help from trichotillomania..."vestigial" grooming behavior gone out-of-control. I'm no professional, but I think that this is out-of-control gathering/hoarding behaviors from our genes. The genetic research separating it from the other OCD behaviors supports my view, I think.
One thing I know...these disorders are hell for sufferers.
oopps on cut and paste, but you get the point, I think. :-)
A mother bird carries it's chick's bird sh*t out of the nest with it's mouth. A cat moves it's kittens from a nest to another nest when the kitten urine smell is unbearable. A bear does NOT carry it's food into the cave to eat, and has it's feces located outside the cave.
Only some humans sh*t where they sleep. Animals are smarter than that.
“Note to self, shore up tunnels thro my garage.”
Good idea. Will check mine, too, but gotta hit some garage sales first.
I’ve known a few hoarders and it’s a very weird disorder. Kind of surprises me that the husband didn’t step in and get her straightened out. But often, the spouse can be a hoarder as well.
Watch for this to become a CSI storyline later on in the season.
Poor thing.
When I don’t feel like cleaning, I watch Hoarders. Great for motivation.

She’ll be voting for Hary Reid, regardless.
Pity the poor search dogs. The general stench was so bsd they couldn’t even get the specific stench of her decomosing body.
That’s funny.... my task for today was to clean the garage to make room for the new Harley. Looks like I’ll have inspiration to do a little better job...:-)) don’t want to get lost in there.
