The last time co-tenants saw the family was somewhere in May this year when the Jacksons’ returned home, parked their unregistered Ford Expedition car and climbed upstairs to their apartment.
But after several months of not hearing nor seeing the Jacksons, the livid neighbours lodged a complaint with the police.

Police suspect Mrs. Jackson, 48 died about 3-months ago. The traumatised children of the deceased are currently on admission at a health facility.
