Dallas bank forecloses, skips step called “checking for dead people”

From WIFR:

New homeowner finds body in house shortly after buying property at auction, police say

Residents in one Texas community are expressing regret over not doing more to check on a neighbor who was found dead inside her home.

The Homes of Addison Place are a group of townhomes built in 1983.

A unit on Planters Row was sold at a Dallas County foreclosure auction on Tuesday.

Sixty-nine-year-old Pauline Williams was listed as the owner in default of her bank loan.

But police say that when the new owner who bought the house at the auction went to the property for the first time on Wednesday, they found the mailbox full, the side yard overgrown with weeds and Williams’ body in the living room just feet from the front door.

“Very regrettable that I and my neighbors didn’t check on her,” Gary McIntyre said.

McIntyre lives next to the home, while Austin Mathews lives down the street.

“Reminds me to check on my neighbors a little bit more frequently and just try to be friendly and hope that doesn’t happen to you one day,” Mathews said.

It’s not yet known how long Williams had been dead or how a foreclosure proceeded so quickly without someone trying to physically contact her or knock on the door before the home was sold at auction.

County officials have not provided any additional details and the loan companies involved have not responded to a request for comment.

The Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office is continuing to determine how, and how long ago, the woman died.

“Just regrettable that we were not being good neighbors,” McIntyre added.

    Why pay to watch MMA at home when you can go to your local Texas Bass Pro Shops and see this.

    One is fake and expensive, the other is free and real.

    My fav comment from the vid:

    I seriously don’t understand this level of intensity over a bass pro shop opening, but then again, I’ve also never gotten drunk in the parking lot outside the elementary school father-daughter dance, either.

    Speaking of Oklahoma, watch your teenage daughters carefully. The laws in that red state are like Epstein Island.
    A female judge no less sends Dough Boy home with a slap on the wrist.
    Daddy is a big deal. Mommy even says daddy is gonna help you in the video. She is a real sweetheart.

    Jesse Mack Butler so badly assaulted one of the girls that she needed surgery on her neck.

    According to the girl, Butler repeatedly r*ped and strangled her if she refused him. The girl was about 30 seconds from being k*lled, according to a doctor.

    Despite the horrific details and conviction, Butler, who was facing nearly 80 years behind bars, avoided all jail time thanks to his “youthful offender” status.

    His father is a former football director at Oklahoma State University, according to Oklahoma Watch.

    When your daughter is raped and the judge sends the rapist home, how exactly does that make you feel about this line?

    “with liberty, and justice, for all.”

    Just imagine your daughter in school, standing up in the morning, reciting that line after some turd raped her and then the court raped her as well.

    Obama tells Democrats to push back against Trump’s ‘lawlessness and recklessness’
    By Joseph Tanfani

    Updated November 2, 2025

    Nov 1 (Reuters) – Former President Barack Obama touted Democratic candidates for governor in two states at campaign rallies on Saturday, urging voters in next week’s election to reject what he called the “lawlessness and recklessness” of President Donald Trump’s administration.

    Obama, the two-term president still highly popular among Democrats, laid out a biting indictment of the Trump administration at rallies for Virginia gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger and New Jersey candidate Mikie Sherrill.

    This is what I have been saying. When this AI bubble pops (and it will), it’s likely to rival all other downturns besides the Great Depression. But who knows? Speaking of Great things, no one thought anyone would score as many goals as the Great One Wayne Gretzky, and then Ovechkin decimates it.

    “The strain on lower-income and younger Americans is becoming harder to ignore. This past week, the Federal Reserve and restaurant chain Chipotle (CMG) became the latest to nod to a split US economy.

    After the central bank’s latest rate cut, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the economy remains resilient overall but acknowledged that the strength is uneven, with spending increasingly concentrated among higher-income households.

    “Consumer spending [has] been growing and has defied a lot of negative forecasts,” Powell said at his post-decision press conference on Wednesday.

    “It may be mostly higher-end consumers,” he admitted. “But the consumer is spending. That’s a big chunk of what’s going on in the economy, substantially bigger than AI [productivity gains].”

    Powell’s remarks come as economists credit artificial intelligence with keeping the economy out of recession, arguing that a surge in data center and chip investments has driven stock market gains and, in turn, boosted spending among higher-income households most exposed to those assets.”

    ——————–

    The wealthy usually stop or slow their spending due to a decline in the value of their financial assets (such as stocks and real estate), which affects their consumer confidence and sense of wealth. Looks like they are all hitting at the same time. And best of all (ask 3B) there will be no interest rates to lower to get us out of the jam.

  19. Libturd says:

    “And indeed our analysts who cover restaurants and luxury brands both point to an aspirational (middle-income) consumer that has begun pull-back spending on fine dining and luxury shopping. As wealthy households approach satiety as well, aggregate consumer spending will shift into a lower gear. For a sharper step-down, broad-based white-collar layoffs and [a] significant loss of wealth, particularly in housing, are key.”

    Lib: There is an article in the WSJ called big spenders keep the party going in NYC. Thr article goes into detail about all the young people still spending big bucks at NYC hotspots. The rationale is why live in NYC if you can’t enjoy what it has to offer.

    We’ll see how much longer this can continue amid layoffs. And limited job opportunities.

  22. Juice Box says:

    re: “there will be no interest rates to lower to get us out of the jam”

    Next bubble always bigger than the last…massive government borrowing constitutes a bubble that is being artificially sustained by central bank actions and they will be forced to take action.

    Bank of Japan had been at negative interest rates for a long time.. They just voted last year to raise rates from 0-0.1%…… Whoo Hooo!

    And Japan only spends 1.6% of GDP on defense. We spend 3.5%.

    On the original post, I suspect if none of the neighbors weren’t checking in on the deceased, there was something off about her for a while. I live in a town with a number of old people. Some of them have hardly been seen since COVID shutdowns, which I think inflicted severe damage to a lot of people. Pushed some of them over the brink, and out of society, which has real mental and physical health consequences. Consequences that the “experts” who pushed lockdowns never factored into their dictator-like decisions. These decisions happened under Trump, as a reminder, a man who doesn’t care one iota about individual rights, having never cared to read the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and definitely not the Federalist Papers, and who had no base of principles to guide him away from the biggest government power expansion since the 1930s-40s.

    We know all this already from all the surveys pre and post election. We learned three things:

    1. Many more ppl are getting their news and views online instead of from the mainstream media.

    2. The ppl getting their news and views online do worse on basic factual questions about current events and policy and spread more misinformation.

    3. The ppl doing worse on basic factual questions about current events and policy tended to vote Trump.

    At least Trump’s business acumen is consistent.

    So much winning.

    He has no interest in “governing” but his 37% approval rating matches when he left office the first time. I think it’ll go much lower.

    Polls are pretty much the only technology that has not improved over the last 30 years unless you consider nefarious methods to bias the results an improvement.

    As for the data on what your likes, dislikes, etc. They’ve been collecting that shit since long before you were born. There used to be list companies that did nothing but this. Develop a golf club cover that looks like your cock? You could go to a list company and find every person between the age of 17 and 35 who smokes cigars, makes over 100K a year and has received an inheritance from their dead grandparents. Seriously, most of the data was culled from your checking and credit card usage which your bank sells to them for a pretty penny. Want an account? Well, good luck opting out then.

    DOJ Official Says Trump ‘Would Be Arrested Tomorrow’ if Not President
    President Donald Trump. (File photo)
    A Justice Department official admitted that President Trump “would be arrested tomorrow” if he weren’t in office, following the discovery of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

    A new book excerpt by Washington Post investigative reporter Aaron C. Davis and former White House reporter Carol Leonnig reveals that DOJ officials agreed Trump should face arrest after uncovering a trove of “gravely sensitive” documents in August 2022.
