Savage had not seen her neighbor, 1950's B-movie actress
Yvette Vickers, for a long time. She became concerned upon seeing Vickers' mailbox filled with yellowing, unopened mail. She saw cobwebs in the front doorway and entered the home to find Vickers' mummified body on the floor behind several boxes and more unopened fan mail. The inside and outside of the house were in a very deteriorated state.
