Neighbors say police escorted the woman's daughter away from the property minutes after discovering the body. The mother and daughter had lived together for years on the first floor of the two-flat, and the daughter was the building’s landlord, neighbors said. But those same neighbors said they hadn’t seen the 96-year-old woman in several years.
An elderly woman was found dead at a home in Chicago's Portage Park neighborhood on Monday.On a Northwest Side block of otherwise tidy brick bungalows and two flats, one home near the middle of the street stands out.
The daughter had told conflicting stories in recent months: that her mother was in a nursing home in another state; that she was still living at home and doing fine; that she’d died. Hector Yanez, 42, Martha Yanez’s son, lives with his daughter on the second floor of the two-flat where Michalski’s body was found. He said he was there when police arrived Monday afternoon. Police told him they were following up on an out-of-state call from a relative of the dead woman.Hector Yanez’s daughter, Brigitte Yanez, said city inspectors had come several times in recent months to inquire about the trash piled up outside the house.
"She would talk about her like she was still here. I would be very confused because she had told my dad [that her mother] was in a home in Wisconsin," Brigitte Yanez said.. She told the Sun-Times that she used to live above her grandmother at the West Melrose address.
