If I understood what I have read so far:
11 days before she goes missing, she pawns her laptop for $200
the son, typically speaks to his Mom 1x a week, does not hear from her in weeks, does not so much as check on her at her home.
The son goes to her "executor" prior to going to the police, where he is advised to file a MP report.
LE speaks to the executor prior to speaking to the son- is the "executor" an attorney? Yet, the still need a search warrant, to enter the home. That tells me that they never visited this woman's home on the call from the employer, as there was mail piled up and blood on the back door, wth?
I am not a cat person, but can cats live that long w/out food/water, or is the assumption that someone fed them, or that an excessive amount of food/water was left in the event no-one came looking for this woman? I wonder if this house was about to be foreclosed on and somebody was protecting an inheritence?
How does someone that has to pawn their computer for $200 loan have an executor?
