44-year-old IT worker of Michigan found mummified in her car – she had been dead for 5-years

The tragic story of Pia Farrenkopf, a 44-year-old IT worker of Michigan may have no parallel in history because she lay mummified and dead in the rear of her car for 5-years before her death came to light as reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 1 March 2015.
She had withdrawn $1,500 from her checking account in February 25, 2009 and since then she vanished. A family member tried to phone in 2012 and wanted to tell her that her mother had died, but did not get any response. She loved to stay alone and, hence, no one bothered about her absence.
Anyway, letters kept piling up in her mailbox in Pontiac, Michigan, where she lived and the mail was finally taken back to the Post Office as unclaimed.
She had taken mortgage and the payments towards that got deducted automatically from bank accounts where she had enough money – she worked in ALLTEL Information Services where she had once programmed banking software. However, once the balance in the bank fell to zero in 2013, the bank sent their man to her house and her death was discovered.
Her body was found in 2014 – it was slumped in the backseat of the Jeep Liberty that was parked in her garage. She was mummified. Investigators have not been able to establish the cause of her death.
