Real Estate Deal: house from late 70-early 80s. Includes Corpse. Fixer-upper.

Ah! Baltimore!

Stories like this seem made for Baltimore!

A house has been left to sit for 20+ years.

The city sells it for back taxes.

And, what do they find in an upstairs bedroom?

A corpse, surrounded by old Playboy magazines! (NO! It isn’t Anna Nichole’s!)

Who was the mystery woman?

Needlessly creepy.

What’s the over/under for a corpse surrounded by Playboys on the top floor of an “abandoned” property turning up on Law & Order next season?

And next to it, on the second pillow, a long strand of iron-gray hair.

snerk Beautiful.

“Numerous crates used to carry cats or small dogs can be found, as well as two-liter soda bottles filled with urine, giving off an unbearable stench.”

:eek:

What is this a reference to? I see someone got it, but I’m afraid I don’t.

“A Rose for Emily”, I think. Faulkner?

What? I bid on a house and I got a mummy too, I always wanted a mummy.

And on the beach too!

Those auctions usually include information like a plan of the house and pictures, but I guess in there two cases either the info was MIA or they just used the plans on record…

ETA: ok, fight my ignorance. Other than “very carefully”, how does one pronounce Szczypiski?

This happens every time. Seriously, I think it must be a mechanism built into the human brain that when this little thing snaps, right here, you need to start hoarding trash, excrement and urine, also, you need to collect as many animals as possible.

Just like it’s spelled! :smiley:

“Up here is the master bedroom, bathroom adjoining.”
“Wait, is that a corpse on the bed?”
“Well, it really brings the room together, so we left it.”

'Smith".

Or Cold Case.

Surrounded by porn? I’m guessing the mystery woman was a man.

Shu-shev-ski. Just ask anyone at Duke University.

My WAG would be shipisky or zhipisky…

No, darlin’, the mystery woman is the one who used to come by a few times a week to take out the garbage. Try to keep up.

I don’t understand how a corpse was producing garbage … becoming garbage, yes, but not producing it.
