In somewhat lighter news, today brings The Case of the Missing Woman Who Was Not Missed, courtesy of the UK's Daily Record. At the center of the story: Hedviga Golik, the Croatian woman who was born in 1924, and who was found this week after sitting dead in front of her television for 42 years. As the Daily Record reports, Golik was last seen by neighbors in 1966, when she would have been 42 years old, and next seen in 2008, when her skeleton was found by authorities hoping to establish who owned the woman's "empty" flat. "The cup she had been drinking tea from was still on a table next to the chair she had been sitting in," said a police spokesman. "Nothing had been disturbed for decades." As usual, neighbors were shocked. "I still remember her," said Jadranka Markic, who was 9 when Golik "vanished." "She was a quiet woman who kept to herself but was polite. We all thought that she had just moved out and gone to live with relatives." Here's hoping The Bones of a Woman Who Sat Dead in Front of Her Television for 42 Years gets the international gallery tour it deserves."
