The skeletal remains of a retired police detective were found inside her rural Connecticut home, which was filled with hoarding conditions, seven months after she was reported missing. 

According to the Glastonbury Police Department, the remains of 73-year-old Mary Notarangelo were discovered in February after crews arrived at her rural home to clear away the accumulated trash from the retired detective’s hoarding behavior. 

Notarangelo was last in contact around June 12, 2024, when she texted a friend to inform them she was experiencing abdominal cramps, vomiting, and had fallen. Approximately three weeks afterward, the friend contacted the police to request a welfare check.

Steeves revealed she had made attempts to speak with her friend about the hoarding, but Notarangelo did not want to discuss the issue. Notarangelo was also a “bird fanatic” and had about 20 birds, along with a cat and dog, her friend said. 

Notarangelo worked with the Bridgeport police from 1985 to 1996, and was promoted to detective in 1992 and to sergeant a year later, according to the department. She later retired on disability following an on-duty car crash, Steeves said. 

Notarangelo’s cause of death could not be determined because her remains were primarily skeletal, the state medical examiner’s office said. 

The Glastonbury Police Department did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
