SIGN UP Police records have shown Notarangelo made her last contact with anybody June 12 of last year. She told her handyman, “No sleep, stayed on floor where I fell.”
Officers were called to her home for a wellbeing check in July of 2024.
Investigations
Police said Notarangelo, a retired Bridgeport detective, had become reclusive and a hoarding situation developed in her home, to the point it was impossible for crews to conduct a search for her.
Her body was eventually located inside the house, near the front door of her home seven months after she was reported missing, when a third-party crew was brought in with an excavator.
One local leader told us he and a colleague still have questions about the time it took to get in her home to find her remains.
