Overview

  • Body-camera video from Glastonbury officers shows garbage, feces and dead animals filling the home of retired detective Mary Notarangelo.
  • Hazmat teams and specialized crews abandoned initial welfare checks between July and November 2024 due to unsafe, debris-choked conditions.
  • An excavation in February uncovered Notarangelo’s skeletal remains buried beneath the debris more than eight months after she was last heard from in June 2024.
  • Dead birds and mice littered the property and a lone cat was the only surviving creature found inside the remote woodland house.
  • The Connecticut medical examiner continues to investigate and has not yet determined Notarangelo’s cause or manner of death.
