    Wow

    Her body remained undisturbed for 42 years until it was discovered in May 2008.

      shame if could not have been 2024. but that would have thrown some of the other 24s off.

    Golik had told her neighbors that she would be leaving for an indeterminate amount of time.

    Carić ran errands for her, such as buying groceries, but they never talked, as Golik would not leave her floor, instead lowering a bucket with money and a written list down the stairs, with the items to be dropped off on Golik’s doorstep.

    livin’ the life!

      And the TV was still on (they did pay the bill all these years from what I understood).

          I’m more amazed at the fact that the TV is still working after being turned on for 42 years.

            If it had a physical knob that it turned on with then it’s feasible. It wouldn’t be getting any stations. I don’t think because they’re all digital now and they were analog back then

              Not sure when Croatia switched to digital, but I think the year they found her was around the time the US had only just switched to digital.
