Mummified Woman Found Hidden in Closet in Maryland
An estate lawyer discovering a mummified woman in a closet of an empty Mount Rainier home led Prince Georges County Police to suspect foul play. Investigators say the woman's son, now dead, allegedly cashed her Social Security checks for 18 years. Alma Coffman had not been seen since 1963 after being released from Spring Grove Mental Institution to her son Charles Coffman Jr., who died earlier in the same house.
