EWWW! WOMAN KEPT HER DEAD MOTHER'S BODY IN THE HOUSE WITH HER FOR 10 YEARS!

The mummified remains of a woman gone missing for more than a decade were possibly kept in a Missouri home all those years by her elderly daughter.

The body, wrapped in a thin multi-colored curtain and plastic garbage bags, was discovered by a relative after the death of Gladys Jean Bergmeier last month.

Bergmeier, 75, was found dead on Feb. 7 in a cluttered Jennings, Mo., home filled with old newspapers, trash and other junk. A relative found the mummified body nearly three weeks later while cleaning out the house.

The body was found Feb. 26 between a wall and a bed. Authorities said the woman was too badly decomposed for an identification or a guess at when she died.

"I've been in homicide for six years. I've never seen anything like it," police Det. Erich Von Almen told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

But relatives told police that the body was likely that of Gladys Stansbury, mother of the home's owner. The elder Gladys moved in with her daughter after the floods of 1993.

Relatives said Bergmeier and her mother remained isolated from the rest of the family, and Stansbury was last seen sometime in the mid-1990s.

Authorities did rule out foul play in the death, but the corpse showed no signs of trauma.

Cops found the body of Gladys Bergmeier when a worried neighbor asked them to check in on the elderly woman.
