After Son ‘Moves Out,’ Hoarder Mom Uncovers Sick 20-Year Bedroom Secret
By Dreamer
After her son “moved out,” a Brooklyn mother’s worst nightmare recently came true. Unfortunately, the woman was a bit of a hoarder, so the sick secret hiding in his bedroom was a bit hard to find – but after she did, she realized it had been going on for 20 long years.
Rita Wolfensohn is legally blind and lives in a well-appointed, two-story brick house worth about $700,000 in Brooklyn, New York. Although the market value may appear rather steep, the home is in no way worth that much anymore as her hoarder lifestyle certainly took its toll.

According to reports, the home was in total despair. Police explain that it looked like “a garbage truck had dumped its load” inside. However, things would take a turn as Rita got sick and had to go to the hospital. As one would imagine, family members quickly stepped in to do what they could – one of which traveled to her home to get some of her things.
However, the evening would take a turn as sister-in-law Josette Buchman entered the wrong room and stumbled upon quite the unnerving discovery. In fact, you can imagine the woman’s surprise to open the door and see what appeared to be a corpse lying on the floor. New York Post further reports:
In a debris-choked second-floor bedroom, sister-in-law Josette Buchman found a “completely intact” skeleton, dressed in jeans, socks and a shirt, lying on its back on a thin mattress on the floor, police sources told The Post.
For reasons unknown, Rita had never gone into the room after her son “moved out” – but that wasn’t entirely true. Although the man would have been 49 today, he apparently died in that room about 20 years ago, meaning that Rita had been living with her son’s corpse for a staggering two decades.

At this point, police say there is no evidence of foul play. They believe that the man died of natural causes. However, one can only wonder why this woman never even thought to check on her own son. I mean, why is her first thought that he moved out after not seeing him for a little bit?
Fortunately, Rita is currently in a nursing home where she can be better cared for. Let’s just hope she gets the help that she needs.
