Really interesting thread with pictures of an old kitchen. Fascinating since you refuse to break in and get more pics and look through stuff. Riveting poo poo. Retard.

I apologize for not breaking and entering into a house for your entertainment, A CRUNK BIRD.

If I don't hear back within a couple of days about her whereabouts, I'll go to the police to make sure she hasn't passed away in her home. I'm hoping to hear back that she's happily residing in a nursing home and I hope to visit her if she is.

How did someone latch both doors shut from the inside and get out again? I'm betting on a body inside.

My guess is that the front door was latched shut from the outside for some reason. (Why would you need to do that if the front door is properly locked?)

Back door latched (but not closed), then front screen door latched from the outside through the hole in the screen and latched again with the nail on a string.

Update!

I got an email from her lawyer saying that Muriel is living in a retirement home and that the house is vacant. He said that the house is unliveable, even with substantial renovations. There have been some prospective buyers in the past, but the lawyer feels it would have to be sold for lot value only.

I said it was sad to hear that the place is unliveable and unable to be restored. I also asked permission to take photos of the interior, accompanied by someone who could lock up the house.

So... no dead bodies. I'm still hoping to do a photo adventure though.

I may still pay a visit and bring her flowers. I think she's a very interesting old lady.

Though I don't think I'd be able pass myself off as her brother, unless her brother was 5 foot 3, had boobs and was a woman.

Knock her glasses off the nightstand onto the floor and then say that she's already wearing her glasses.

You can totally use that place as a party house. They don't give a poo poo, it's a tear-down anyway.

get in there and claim it before some vampires show up and turn it into a den, that place is a primo vamp-nest and you need to fumigate the place with a bleezy or three and make it your own

Did you read the article that was written about her? She seems like a really cool lady!

The article even mentioned she used to visit elderly people in the hospital and bring them flowers to brighten up their day, so I may do the same. If I get permission to take photos in the house, it would be a nice way to thank her.

My friends sister who practices law in Minnesota (which is basically just southern Canada, so it is cool) said it is totally okay for you to go in and walk around, or have a party, or just move in as long as you get more pictures. I mean I don't know myself but she is probably right.

This is really great.

At least you know you shouldn't be surprising anyone if you send a remote control camera in if you don't get permission to enter.

I went back today to do just that.

I attempted to open the screen door out front again, but this time I realized why it wouldn't open.

It was latched on the inside.

Though it is also latched from the outside by a nail on a piece of string. I can only presume these other latches were closed from the outside with someone sticking their hand through the giant hole in the screen.

I then went around back to knock. Looking in the window, things are exactly the same as before.

These are the branches you have to get under the access the back door.

I checked the mail box and none had been taken yet, but an Anglican newspaper was recently left. It seems likely that someone comes by every couple weeks and takes the mail, or else the box would be overflowing by now.

Still no news from the lady who said she would get back to me.

Both entrances are latched, that means either shes dead inside or someone is living there. Do a wellness check.
