Neighbors around the Arizona home called 911 after they reported seeing a person inside in the early hours of the morning. A Bullhead City police spokeswoman told Sky News when officers arrived, they encountered a woman rummaging through the property – and then found the body. Locals told them they had not seen the owner of the house, a 60-year-old woman, for about a year and assumed she had moved away. Police believe the body is that of the homeowner, but are awaiting confirmation from the medical examiner’s office.

The cause of death is unclear, but the medical examiner’s office said foul play or criminal activity is not suspected, according to police. The woman inside the home, Christine Lee Walters, 65, was arrested and charged with two counts of burglary. Police allege he was also at the home two days earlier and removed the victim’s bags, purses and clothing in an attempt to sell them online.
