There was a lady here in Las Vegas that went missing.
Hundreds of people searched for her, searching the desert around her house.
Her family offered a $10,000 reward, but no trace of her was ever found......she just disappeared.
And then 4 months later, her husband found her in her own bedroom buried underneath a pile of clothes.
It turns out the couple were extreme hoarders.
They had so much accumulated stuff, they had to add a second house to their property because their first house was completely full.
Anyways, it's amazing nobody found her for 4 months even though police dogs searched the house several times and the husband was there everyday.
I guess it was just that bad. I can't even imagine how bad it must of smelled for a dead body to go undetected for 4 months. 
Here's the article....it was written by a very very close friend of mine:

Do you, or have you ever known any compulsive hoarders?
Any of them ever go missing?

Wow! Who could ever believe that the house could be in such condition that a body could not be found for 4 months? It just baffles the mind!

[i][/i]Hi sconi! I had read this article and it is really sad! I have
seen a number of these stories on tv too! It is a "sickness"
and people don't understand that these people really need
psychiatric help! I am a bit of a "pack rat" or at least I
was until my boyfriend moved in. He made me get
rid of alot of my stuff because we needed more room and he hates
clutter! I am getting a bit better at it, but still have a
way to go. I am alot more organized now at least.

I think that's what happened to this lady.....I think she had a stroke or something and then her junk just swallowed her up.

Holy smoke, my father is a hoarder. Fortunately my mother is exactly the opposite and keeps him at bay. She throws the junk he collects without notice and it almost breaks his heart at times. But the timing must be perfect. More than once he actually took the stuff out of the garbage bin and brought it back in the house 
. He has a basement room though where we don't even want to know what is being kept.

Are you sure the husband didn't embalm her and stick her under the pile? Seriously, I don't get how the dogs couldn't smell her, that just defies belief!

I had an aunt that used to save newspapers, toilet paper rolls, etc and probably other things as well. Since she lived in another state we only visited her home a few times as I was growing up. She passed away many years ago, but I wonder if she would have been considered a hoarder. There was a lady in my city that used to hoard things. Her house and her car were stacked full. After she passed away her family had to go through everything piece by piece since there was money hidden away inside of things. I never knew anyone who was a hoarder that went missing though. That is quite a story. I watch those hoarder programs on tv and wonder how people can live like that. I guess its a disease. So sad!

What a story..
And I thought I was a collector!! Yes, I do have a lot of things that should be thrown or given away.
I wonder what there is in my wardrobes?? A skeleton or two?? But I can´t remember any of my guests missing.. So there might be just ordinary normal or almost normal clutter..
