Edward Marchion took a chance when he bought a four-bedroom house in this affluent suburb without ever stepping foot inside.
When he entered for the first time, he could hardly believe what he found: three dead bodies.
Connecticut State Police described the bodies found at the foreclosed home as “skeletal remains” and identified one of them as the previous co-owner, Sally Anne Cash, who would be 54 years old today. Another body belonged to her son, Brian Cash, who would have turned 23 this month.
The third body is still undergoing DNA testing to determine identity, according to the Connecticut Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. Sally Anne Cash had purchased the house in 2019 with her husband.
Marchion won the house in June at a “sight unseen” foreclosure auction, meaning bidders weren’t able to tour inside beforehand. Marchion’s winning bid was $525,000, seemingly a bargain for a property valued at $650,000 in one of the country’s hottest housing markets.
It is still not clear when or how the house’s former owner and her son died, but police said they believe the deaths were an isolated incident.
The mystery is an extreme example of what buyers can encounter when purchasing houses through foreclosure auctions.
