How is it possible to live in a apartment and no-one notices the smell. The live woman had to go inand out therefore opening the door and letting the odor escape. Do you think you would have noticed any thing amiss? Woman Allegedly Lived With Dead Roommate Mar 7, 9:54 PM (ET) CANTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - A 28-year-old woman may have kept the body of her roommate in their apartment for up to three weeks, police said. An anonymous caller told police in Wayne County's Canton Township on Tuesday night that the woman was living in the apartment with her dead roommate. "Our detectives knocked at the door and the woman opened it and there is that odor, and you know right away what it is," Detective Rick Pomorski told The Detroit News. The body of the woman, believed to be in her 20s, was found covered by items of clothing on the living room floor. The 28-year-old tenant was cooperative with police and accompanied them to headquarters for questioning. She is not under arrest, Pomorski said. "She knew her roommate was there lying on the living room floor," the detective said. "She did give us a story as to her reasonings. We are hesitant to detail that now. We will be piecing everything together and expect to have better answers when we hear from the medical examiner." Police said they tentatively identified the victim, but declined to release a name. --- http://story.news.ask.com/article/20070308/D8NNNMAO1.html

I cannot imagine how that is possible. The odor is so bad, it's imposible to not detect. If the house was extremely cold, it would have helped a little prolonging decay. But 3 weeks??????????

There must be something wrong, mentally, with the room mate. Perhaps a very low IQ, or not havng been brought up to manage "difficult" situations. It certainly is a bit weird.

It's impossible not to notice anything wrong, you can't deny the odor. Sometimes people just don't want to be involved or maybe hiding something. Hope you keep us updated bout this one.

Impossible as it sounds, this is something that happens. There was a dreadful little hippie guru here in Philadelphia who murdered his girl friend and put her body in a trunk in a closet in his rented apartment. Some of the body fluids escaped and even though some of the downstairs tenants complained periodically, nothing was done for years until the police finally had enough info for a search warrent.

Sometimes one does not want to notice something. See no evil, hear no evil... smell no evil. :P
