This is creepy in so many ways. A woman is reporting missing. Nobody finds her for over forty years. Guess where they find her? In her apartment, in front of the TV. Well, not all of her, but what's left of her. She'd been dead for a long, long time.
THE remains of a woman have been found sitting in front of her TV - 42 years after she was reported missing.
Hedviga Golik, who was born in 1924, had apparently made herself a cup of tea before sitting in her favourite armchair in front of her black and white television.
Everything in the apartment was just as they had been when she died... in 1966.

Oh, that's so very sad. She must have had no one to care about her or her whereabouts.

Actually, people did report her missing at the time. For whatever reason, no one ever checked her apartment. It boggles the mind that no one would look into the place, for whatever reason, for forty years.

Well, that's sort of what I mean. Wouldn't that be the first place a friend or relative would check?! Unless there's something suspicious afoot?

You'd think so. Even if they didn't, why didn't the police? Did she own the apartment? Didn't anyone want to take a look inside? Drop of her mail? Anything?

Critical Todd, I like this story. It's good stuff. Very strange indeed. Wonder why her family or friends didn't think of that.

I can't imagine a scenario in which a search would not include her apartment.

maybe she was the most hated person in the town nobody wanted to check her out.

This is terrible. What a sad horrible way to die. I can't believe NO ONE checked! Not even neighbours!

Critical Todd, I like this story. It's good stuff. This was pretty interesting. I think the point about being friendless was valid. Maybe she was like H. Hughes. How did the rent/mortgage/monthly payments get made? Did someone apply for social security? Sounds very strange to me.
