Woman lived with dead siblings
Neighbors wondered if something funny was going on, but when Margaret Berstorff reassured them that things were fine, they left her alone. Even when they no longer saw her brother, Frank, no one came over to check. After all, Margaret told them that Frank had gone to live out of state.
And when the other sister Anita stopped going out on the porch, neighbors again inquired. Margaret told them that Anita was afraid of the outdoors. The neighbors didn’t want to be nosy after all. And why wouldn’t they believe her? It was perfectly plausible.
Besides, no one was ever invited inside the home. Not even contractors.
Imagine the shock waves throughout the neighborhood when police found three corpses in the home. That of Frank, Anita, and another sibling, Elaine, who hadn’t been seen since the 1980s.
No one’s sure why the bodies were still inside the home. They were discovered when Margaret started becoming frail and sought help from an advocate for the elderly.
Man, talk about just a little bit creepy! We know people who are extremely private, but this really takes the cake.
