Kor37 9 Posted June 24, 2008 Woman Dead for 42 Years Before Someone NoticedJun 23rd 2008 By Tom Radler WeirdNews We're not sure what was on TV in 1966 in the former Yugoslavia, but it was the last thing seen by a woman whose remains have only recently been found. Hedviga Golik, who was born in 1924, was discovered by police in the Croatian capital of Zagreb, long-dead and sitting in her armchair in front of her black-and-white television. The deceased had been reported missing 42 years ago, and neighbors say they thought she had moved away to live with relatives. Oddly though, the police only recently broke in to try to determine who owned the apartment and they still have not figured out how the woman could have been reported missing so long ago without anyone checking the residence. "When officers went there, they said it was like stepping into a place frozen in time," a police spokesman said. "The cup she had been drinking tea from was still on a table next to the chair she had been sitting in ... Nothing had been disturbed for decades, even though there were more than a few cobwebs in there." A neighbor, fittingly, remembered Golik as "a quiet woman who kept herself to herself."

He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted June 24, 2008 In all fairness, the former Yugoslavia has been quite busy since 1966. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIMIMELA 1 Posted June 24, 2008 Seriously, though, if she was reported missing that would be the first place I'd look. Not the last place... 42 years later! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
