Items From Dead Woman's Home Mysteriously Posted For Sale

Items that were taken from the vacant house trailer began showing up for sale on Facebook and other social media sites, police say. The Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office continued to monitor the sales until one day when the woman's home was posted for sale.

“We were shocked”, Undersheriff Eric Chaboty stated. “It’s one thing to steal your dead neighbor’s personal items, but to think you could steal her entire residence and get away with it, you’ve got to be kidding."
