Deputies: Mother, son's bodies discovered in Wis.
STONE LAKE, Wis. (AP) — Sheriff's officials in northwestern Wisconsin say the bodies of an elderly woman and her son have been found in their home and that the mother may have been dead for years.
When a postal worker notified authorities that mail was uncollected at the rural Stone Lake home in Washburn County, deputies discovered the body of 67-year-old Michael Egan on a bedroom floor. Officials believe he may have been dead for at least a week. They also searched for Egan's mother, Elizabeth, without success. Ramsey County, Minn., Search and Rescue later joined the effort and the woman's remains were found on a couch under sleeping bags and plastic in June. WQOW-TV (http://bit.ly/qH3ENv ) says the woman was last seen six years ago.
Investigators say the woman's Social Security checks were directly deposited into her bank account and that Michael Egan was using the account.
